I've slacked off with the blog posts for the last few months and for those far away friends and family, Reed's growing way too faast to let so much time go by between posts. Sorry. I'll do better.
Here's what we've been up to (nothing too exciting) in no particular order (Google uploads pictures backwards, and so that I get this post posted, I'm not even going to try to rearrange them like I usually do):
Going for a walk on Thanksgiving
Little Helper
Mowing the lawn
Vacuuming.
This was the first time he'd pretended that I'm aware of. He often steals my attachments while I'm vacuuming, but a few weeks ago I stopped vacuuming for a minute and heard Reed making this "fffffff ffffff fffffff" sound. I look over and he's waving the attachment over the stairs and rolling his music toy back and forth like a vacuum. So cute. I'm glad I caught a picture of it!
Bug stalker
We get these boxer elder? bugs that sneak in the house and Reed is fascinated by them. When Reed spots one it's very exciting and he follows it around pointing at it until it disappears under something or in his excitemnt to get close to it he sits on it and can't figure out where it went. I'm not a bug person, but these bugs seems to be harmless. He's only eaten 1...Signing
"stinky"
"more"
He's picked up several basic signs and it's so fun to watch him communicate with us that way.
He also does:
Bye/Hi
all gone/all done
Upstairs/downstairs
Don't touch/be careful
Stuck/Help
Where did it go?/I don't know (as in a toy or a bug)
We're working on:
hungry
thirsty
Mom
Dad
crackers
crackers
juice
cold
hot
Some of the signs he puts his own spin on and while they may not be official ASL signs they are Reed signs and work for us!
We have an attachment for our stroller that his infant seat used to clip into (he's a big boy now and faces in the regular front facing car seat now - sniff. sniff). We have a snack/toy/cup holder tray that goes on the bar, but Reed LOVES to sit forward at the edge of the seat and hold on tight to that bar for our entire walk. You'd think his little arms would give out from holding himself up for that long, but he has it all figured out. Who needs a snack tray anyway?

Reed is SO cute! No wonder we love him lots and lots and lots.
Thanks muchly for the recent post. We LOVE the vacuuming picture, and the "little helper mowing the lawn" picture is about the sweetest father/son picture ever.
Good job on the pictures of him signing. We loved watching him sign "more" "more"! Now you just need to find a way to record him singing to his binky...
What a fun post - I loved imagining him pretending to vacuum and that you got a picture of it is priceless! These kinds of moments make being a mommy so fun.
