Reid is 9!

Reid is 9 years old!  Here are a few things about our biggest boy at 9!

*He still loves his usual things (sports, legos, and board games), but he has a new-found love of reading!  Over the last couple of months, he's begged to stay up later and later every night to read.

*He paces when he is excited about something. 

*While sadly his appetite has not grown in variety, it has certainly grown in quantity!  He can EAT!  I guess it's just the beginning...

*He is pretty creative and good at finding things to do.  He rarely says the phrase, "I'm bored".  

*He is way too impressed with bodily functions lately, which I guess is typically for a 9 year old boy. We are working on our manners over here! 

*He is usually very confident (sometimes a little too confident) ;), but can quickly switch to a majorly gloom and doom attitude if he can't do something perfectly.  

*He is terrified of all tiny creatures (like his momma), but isn't scared of larger animals at all.  He loves dogs and is really sweet and affectionate with them.  

*On a similar note, he LOVES stuffed animals and gets very attached to all of them.  They all have names and he knows exactly where and when he got each one.  I love this about him because it still makes him seem little to me. :)

I took the picture above and then later found all of these selfies on my phone.  I feel like they capture the essence of a nine year old boy perfectly...
