Mark, Set, Go!

To date, Reed doesn't really repeat what we say, even when we ask him to.  He looks at us, sometimes laughing, sometimes just staring, as we throw out words for him to say: Mama, Dad, all done, na-night. 

Earlier this week - I don't even remember what made me say it - I said "Mark, set, go!" and he laughed hysterically.  I repeated it over and over while he got so giggly I couldn't even get past "Mark" before he started to laugh. 

Last night as I was getting him ready for bed I tried it again:

Rachel: "Mark"
Reed: "Ma"
Rachel: "...set"
Reed: "Deh"
Rachel: "Go!"
Reed: "Doh"
Rachel: "TJ!!!!"

:) Luckily for me, TJ had been walking down the hallway and hear it.  Oh, what fun to see this little guy learn and grow!

Lunch with Reed

The lighting during lunch yesterday seemed perfect, so I grabbed my camera for pictures of "real life."  Notice Reed's soaked shirt - he loves to fill his mouth with water and then spit it all down his front - and the food all over his tray is just a reflection of what's on the floor: craisins, frozen corn, chex, and green apples were the hits yesterday.  Oh, and those blue eyes: those are always a hit.

This is what real life looks like sometimes.  :)

Each of these make me smile.

Reed's hair also makes me smile.  :)  It's so long, which means the curls show when it's wet.
