5 Things

5 facts you should know about Maddy and Reed

Maddy

1. She loves British tv. Yup, you heard me.

2.  She dislikes pants and immediately removes them the minute we enter the house. (This is eerily similar to her father.)

3. She is 100% a daddy's girl.

4. She has surprised me with the love she shows her little brother. The adjustment to not being an only child happened overnight... she was almost immediately smitten.

5. She loves pens and paper and carries a purse with "her job" everywhere.

Reed

1. He smiles all the time.

2. His favorite place right now is the bassinet his cousin Lauren gave him.

3. He loves tv. I have to constantly position him away from it... he hunts it down.

4. He has the most beautiful, long eyelashes.

5. He might be 100% a mommy's boy.

When they sleep...

They are just the cutest little people ever.

I find myself looking at this photo and desperately trying to hang on to this moment. He is perfect. 

Just Like Dad

Happy Birthday Ray!

We played... Which one is the baby?

We decorated...

 And of course, had cake!

Better Late than Never

Conversations with Maddy

Well, here is another installment of "Conversations with Maddy":


Maddy (from the back seat): Mom, when baby brother gets a little bigger... go back to work.

Me: Ummm, ok... but my job is to watch you. Who will do that?

Maddy: We will go to school. Reed needs a spider man lunchbox.

Me: Ok, but why do I have to go back to work?

Maddy: To pay the bills.

Me: Well, daddy pays the bills.

Maddy: And you need to too.

Me: Well, ok then. :)



In other news... Reed is 13.5 lbs! and is probably the sweetest little boy ever.


"Conversations with Reed":

Me: hi! hi! hi! hellllo! hi!

Reed: ah goooooo

True story.

Hack, Hack, Achooooo!

Between the coughing and sneezing going on last week, Maddy and I were a chorus of cold noises. Friday afternoon she crawled into her tent, and when it got really quiet I checked on her...

The girl who never naps... took a nap.
