My Little Cheese Ball

Right before nap today…









 

Sweet dreams little man.

8 Months Old

Reid was 8 months old on June 25th.  So, as usual, I'm a little behind in posting. ;)  Reid is doing great!  He is waking up once a few times at night for a bottle.  It really depends on who you ask...We put Reid to bed around 8:00 and he wakes up at 11:00 for a bottle.  However, we are still up so I say that doesn't count.  He then sleeps until around 1:00 a.m. and then wants another bottle again at 5:00 a.m.  Rico has started taking most of those 1:00 feedings! :))  He is taking two naps a day and both are usually 30-45 minutes long.  Reid really enjoys his cereal in the mornings mixed with some sort of fruit, bananas being the most popular, and he has a veggie and fruit for lunch and in the evenings.  I didn't get too many smiles from him this time but here's our guy at 8 months. :)

8 Months:

20" head circumference

25" height

16 lbs. 8 oz. weight

We decided to have Fairbanks hang out in this photo session.  Fairbanks and Reid are big buds.  He's around for a lot...naps, playtime, cuddling, car rides, etc...  It's only right that Fairbanks finally make his debut on the blog!

I've been wondering if Reid would have fair skin like Spencer and I or have that darker complexion like Rico and Briggs.  Well, lately I've been looking at his photos and I think he's going darker.  I'm excited about this because poor Spence and I usually burn once a summer before we tan.  Rico and Briggs? Don't even get me started...I'm so jealous!

We go to Charleston, SC soon for our annual family vacation!  Reid is ready to go with his hat on!  I just got his seersucker pants in the mail!!! :)

Fairbanks is stylin' also.

Sweet Dreams

I love to watch this guy sleep! 

I just laid him down for the night and he's already dreaming away.  I have to wait until he's sleeping like a rock to put the cannula on.  Maybe I should be putting it on earlier and then letting him fall asleep while it's on but that seems like torture.  So, this is the way we are doing if for now.  It really hasn't been a big deal at all.  After I took it off of him this morning I held it up to my hand and then my face to try to feel the air.  Nothing!  I immediately ran to Rico because this is his area of expertise (and soon to be mine too)!  I didn't think it worked!  He said that the amount of oxygen that Reid has been prescribe is so little that I wouldn't really "feel" it.  As long as it's working, then we're good!  I wish I knew what that sweet baby was dreaming of! Goodnight Reid!
