Smiles and Doctor's Visit

Reid has been smiling for a few weeks now, but I haven't been able to catch a good one on camera until this week. I absolutely adore this sweet smile and his dimples! :)Reid had his 2 month check up on Friday. I LOVE his pediatricians, Dr. Torn and Dr. Brack. They are sisters and we have seen both of them. They are such wonderful and compassionate women!


His 2 month/6 day stats are...


Height: 24 inches, 86%


Weight: 12 pounds 13 ounces, 60%


Head Circumference: 16 inches, 88%


Reid had his first round of shots. He was so happy and peaceful before the appointment.
We spent the rest of the afternoon like this...

2 months!

Our baby boy is 2 months old! Time sure is flying by! We go to the doctor on Friday for Reid's 2 month check up and I am excited to see how much he has grown! He is still wearing size 1 diapers and his clothes range anywhere from 3-12 months depending on the brand and how much they shrink in the dryer. :) Speaking of the dryer...it's so much more fun to do laundry when it's baby laundry! I actually get excited to do it! He is eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. He is slowly stretching it out a little bit the older he gets. He usually takes 3 naps a day. He sleeps really well during his first nap, but the other 2 aren't as consistent. During the day we are trying to stay on an eat, wake, sleep cycle. He is still sleeping in our room at night, but will probably be in his crib before he turns 3 months old. He goes to bed around 8:00 and sleeps until around 2:00. We start our day around 8:00. We are still swaddling him to sleep because he likes it! His favorite thing to do during waketime is read with mommy. :) He also likes his swing and play gym. He is still such a content and happy baby! We have gotten some smiles out of him, but I am ready for more! He really makes us work for them! I haven't caught a real smile with the camera yet! I will keep trying. He found his hands this month and loves sucking on them. He also rolled from tummy to back today! It has only happened once and it looked like A LOT of work! We are venturing out into the world more. It seems like the best time for me to take him anywhere is around noon after he has had a good morning nap and feeding. He usually falls asleep in the carseat while we are out and I just bring the carseat in the house and let him finish his nap in it. It is fun to take him places, but my favorite days are our pajama days at home!
This just makes me laugh...I think he looks EXACTLY like his daddy in this picture!

Precious Reid, I love you to the moon and back!

July 15th

On July 15th we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! What an amazing 5 years it has been! We went to Pappasito's and then Orange Leaf to get frozen yogurt. My parents kept Reid and we really missed him while we were gone! 5 years ago...

From the fullness of His grace we have received one blessing after another. John 1:16

Happy Fourth of July!

Reid was really excited about July 4th! :)

We spent the day at Mumsie and Popsie's house!

Mumsie made Reid this precious outfit! She is so talented and Reid (me) reaps the benefits!
Ready for the pool!
He loved it!
Celebrating America is exhausting!
