The Two Teeth

This isn't the best picture of Reid but you can really see his two teeth. He is VERY proud of them and likes to show them off by biting fingers and arms. He is now eating (just about) any food and uses his teeth quite well. Yesterday (Feb 12th) he shared a Saltine cracker with Mommy and kept biting off chunks with those two bottom teeth. It was fun to see him using them. Now I don't have to break up the cracker into bits and make a HUGE mess.
Reid is also using a sippy cup like a CHAMPION! He loves to drink like a big boy. He also does very well with a regular cup but we have to help him or he dumps it all over himself.
He is also "all set" with jarred baby food. I think it is just too bland and runny for him. He loves toast, biter biscuits, Cheerios, vegetables, and Mommy's homemade chicken noodle soup. So far, he doesn't seem to care for meat that much but we have been sneaking it into his dishes. I pureed some ground turkey and chicken to add to his food and he seems to like that.

Reid plays outside

Doesn't Reid look like he's loving his new snow suit?


Reid was really happy when he notices that his snow suit matches his mommie's coat!


You can hardly see him, but Reid is in the sled I'm pulling.


Reid likes being in the sled so long as I'm moving. Maybe he's helping me get exercise; you know, my tiny little personal trainer.

Alyssa Mae Breton Update

Alyssa Mae Breton...Another gorgeous addition to the family!

Diaper Head

Reid loves to empty is diaper bin. Jeff put a diaper on his head and he played with it on for quite a while.

Close up of little Diaper Head. He looks like George Washington.

This is Reid after his big haircut. He is so cute!

Reid has haircut #3!

We went to Family Fun Cuts in Augusta for Reid's first "professional" cut. He was so good! Here he is pre-cut. You can see he was due.

How cute is this face?! I think he was wondering what was buzzing in his ear. What a sweetie!

Here he is, all trimmed up. It is wet in this picture so it looks a little dorky. He looks all grown up now.

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.
