Likes to wear (pieces of) the costumes. Just the cape or just the helmet is good enough for him. I can tell he likes wearing the cape and running really fast. His run is so cute because he's just getting it down and still kind of bobs up and down instead of going any quicker! He's just learning to jump and actually get off the ground too so he's learning to use the trampoline from Christmas as more than a spot to lay down and play cars.
Stripped down after spaghetti for dinner but rockin' the knight costume!
Stuck on his paci (which he sometimes refers to as "papi") and his blanket. If I'm not careful he'll keep it in all day so I try to pop it out and keep it just for naps and bedtime, but you know that doesn't always happen. Church nursery: here's your paci! Grocery store: definitely getting your paci! Car rides: why don't I give you your paci?? ;)
At church today, after he put his hat on by himself. I couldn't fix it. It was too cute.
Speaking of his blanket, he is just the cutest. He finds the corners right away and rubs it on his palm, his cheek, his belly...he'll even rub it between his toes. Heaven for Reid would be his paci, his blanket and his favorite pair of boots!
Loves reading the Bible. He can say the word "Bible" pretty clearly and will look for it among his other books.
Wants to do exactly what Jake is doing at any given time. When Jake claps his hand, Reid claps his hands. When I gave Jake a band-aid the other day for a cut on his finger, Reid watched me put it on Jake's finger and then immediately stuck out his finger for a band-aid too. So of course I had to give him one, which he took off a few minutes later. Speaking of Jake, they play together all the time. They get frustrated with each other for sure, but they still don't go play different things. Its usually the Hot Wheels on one track or another but its interesting to me how closely they play even when they're not getting along. I hope they're always close, even despite arguments.
Jake was helping peel the carrots. Reid was helping eat them!
I have pretty good sous chefs! Transitioning them to head chef as soon as possible.
Apparently I wasn't making dinner fast enough tonight! He found his bib and a measuring cup and wanted to be held while I cooked. Maybe he was supervising for quality control? He constantly wants other people's food or any kind of condiment someone uses. If Deric puts salt on something, guess who needs some salt?! He does love condiments though, especially hummus!
Learning the in's and out's of Play doh. I had just taught him to hide the play doh under the cup and reveal it, which he thought was the best!
He is a kid of few words at this point but I know that any day now the floodgate will open and he'll seem like a totally different boy! I refer to him a lot as a "baby" still and I know he's not, but since he doesn't talk I think of him as younger than he is. And I do admittedly hold on to my "baby" when his big brother is growing like I can't even believe! I love these two guys so much.
