The Cousins Play and...There are Teeth on the Way!

The three cousins played together with Reid's new Leap Frog music table. It is so cute to see them all together.

Reid and Hannah get along very well. They were cute sitting together on the couch at Memere and Pepere's house.

Reid has two teeth on their way! You can't feel them yet but you can see two small, white marks on his gums where the incoming teeth are causing pressure. We are excited for him!

Cutie Reid

Reid was more awake on the trip back home from Michigan so he needed more entertainment. Auntie Kathy and Uncle Mike bought him a Tigger plush that kept him company. We had a great trip.

Reid got a chance to sit on Santa's lap at the Couture Christmas party. He didn't seem to mind at all and got a cute firefly toy from Great-Grampa Couture.

Reid was having a blast playing with his sippy cup. He is just growing up so fast!

Miss Alyssa Mae joined the Breton family on December 19th. We were getting nervous that she would wait to be born after we left for Michigan on the 21st but she knew that I wouldn't like that much. She is such a doll and already a dainty lady.

Reid's first Christmas in Michigan was wonderful. After a trip to Urgent Care with a double ear infection he started to feel better and shared his smiles all around. Auntie Kristi gave Reid her first Cabbage Patch kid, Less Bobby. Reid fell in love. They were very cute together.

Grandma DeJongh loved to snuggle the Deidle Bug while he took his naps. It was so wonderful to be all together again.

December is Fun!

I met some friends in Chelsea for our annual wreath making event. Reid joined us for the fun. He was so cute while playing in the boughs.

Reid is experimenting with a sippy cup and is loving his Big Boy abilities. He has had some success but it is still quite new.

Reid makes the best faces when he is eating. I just can't resist taking a lot of pictures. As soon as he sees the camera he smiles a BIG smile. He also makes a great face when he is pushing his gums together. His cheeks puff out and his dimples are very deep. We would love to post a picture of this face but like I said, he smiles as soon as he sees the camera.

Setting up the Christmas Tree

I'm a wonderful gift to my parents! Do you see the tree in the background?

I'm really happy about the ornaments that my mommy has out on the tree so far.

I'm curious about everything. I can see the cat in the living room.

If you can believe it; there are a lot more of these types of pictures on mommy's computer.

Thanksgiving Haircut

We had been talking about giving Reid a haircut and we finally got tired of some of the long scraggly hair Thanksgiving evening.


Here's a side view of his long hair, right after his bath.

Reid was very cooperative during most of this. Momy is now cutting the hair that had been dangling over his ears.

Cutting the bangs was a delicate procedure and called for the calm hands of Memere Gloria.

Reid really likes his trim! No more hair in his eyes.

Reid had a great time at the Couture Family Thanksgiving yesterday. He got to move around in a car walker that Memere and Pepere brought for him to use.

November Is Here!

Wow, this year has gone by so quickly! Reid isgetting very big and is sitting up independently for long stretches of time. I just love this CORN DOG shirt! He is so happy!

Jeff stuck Reid in the pack and they raked out front. Reid loves to be outside and likes the cool weather. He is so much like Jeff!

Halloween Fun

Nolan made a perfect monkey!

PHEW! Hannah was a very cute skunk.

Reid was the CUTEST lion we had ever seen! Kathy brought Reid to school so he could join my class in the annual costume parade. Reid even made some growling noises like a little roar. Coincidental but cute! Then later that evening we met at Selena and Matt's for dinner and trick-or-treating. They get over 100 kids so it was a lot of fun.
