BUSY LITTLE CARD MAKER...

Reid was very busy this month creating Anniversary cards for his grandparents. He is so advanced!
Reid is gaining weight now and is showing us how much he has grown already. He is interacting more with toys and us and loves to watch television (mom is not thrilled with this discovery).
Last week Jeff was watching "Human Weapon" on tv (a martial arts thing) and Reid was in his seat watching too. He was moving his arms and kicking his feet like he was acting out the moves. It was hilarious!
This weekend is the Couture camp-out in Jay. We all gather at Grampa's farm and set up campers and tents for the weekend. It is a good time and it is nice to see one another. Grampa's scyatic nerve is bothering him lately so we are hoping he will feel better and be able to enjoy the weekend.

New technology comes to the blog

Here's a video clip of Reid talking to the animals

Balloon Festival Fun

Selena, Shannon, Nolan, Hannah, Mom, and the three of us met in Lewiston at Railroad Park on Friday morning at 6am to see the first balloon launch in celebration of the Balloon Festival. It was early but that morning balloon launch is my favorite time to see the hot air balloons.

Reid slept through most of it but woke up just before the last balloon went up....he didn't seem to notice them.


Reid is standing up so well now (he has always been strong in the legs). He looks so big!


Hannah has had a cold recently but she too was happy about the balloons.

Our Boy Rocks!

Reid is just too cute after his baths. He cuddles up in his towel and shivers...too funny.

Socrates thought he needed to join Reid and I in the chair for a nap.

This is the darling face I get to look at while Reid is sleeping. He is amazing. I could just sit there and watch him sleep all day long. He is now sleeping through the night, getting up once for a feeding at about 4am. MUCH BETTER!

Reid's 3 month stats

Reid had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. We were looking forward to finding out how much weight Reid gained but were also anxious about the immunizations Reid was scheduled to get. As you can see from the picture below, Reid was pretty cool about the whole appointment.

Reid's stats are
Head circumference: 39 cm about 10%
Height: 23 inches about 17%
Weight 11.6 pounds about 15%



You can see from the picture above that Reid wasn't too surprised about these numbers. He knew that Mommy and Daddy wanted to bring his weight up compared to his height. He feels that he did a good job during his third month.

Reid is practicing grabbing at nothing. This doesn't seem like much but he is starting to grab at things so even working his muscles grabbing nothing will increase his muscle memory.

Everyone is getting so big!

Nolan helped out a the camp last weekend. He dug some holes and walked the property looking for things to get into. Nolan will be 16 months soon!

Reid dressed in his big boy clothes on Sunday. He even wore shoes! He looks so big now!

Reidy went to Miss Kathy's today while Mommy went to a workshop at school. He was very good and had a super day. I missed him a lot but only called once!

Summer Continues On...

Mommy and Daddy insist that I become accustomed to the water....Wasn't being born in it enough??!?


These are the lillies that are growing in Mommy's garden. She planted them last year but they didn't bloom until this year. I think they are pretty. The yellow one is a Condilla Day Lilly and the red is a Serena Dark Horse...Mommy and Daddy said horses say "Neigh"....this "horse" didn't say anything.

Mommy and Daddy stuck me in my carseat AGAIN and brought me to Red Robin so they could eat burgers and I could watch them...all I get is milk! THEN, to top it all off, Mommy embarrassed me by making the Red Robin mascot take a picture with me....something about Auntie Kristi thinking it would be funny. I was so humiliated...

Hannah came to Red Robin with us...we discussed trading parents because HER mom didn't make HER take a picture!

Our cat, Socrates, likes to follow us like a dog. He came to the shore with us while we went swimming. All he did was pace back and forth and meow at us. I think he is crazy.

More Fun...

Hannah and Reid spend some time in their seats getting a little shut-eye at a wedding last weekend. It was such a hot day!

Reid hangs out with Olivia Tyler at our house. The Tylers came out for a visit and a swim.

Hannah and Selena enjoy the lake. The water is very warm but refreshing on those HOT HOT days.

Reid and Hannah enjoy some more shut-eye after returning from a car ride. They are just too cute together! Reid is really filling in his car seat! He is getting so big!
