Reed turns 4 months old!



I can't believe how the time has flown by. Reed has changed so much this past month. He has learned how to laugh, grab objects, and almost roll over. He also discovered his feet this month. It is so cute to watch him grab them. Another favorite past time of his has become sticking his entire hand in his mouth. The level of his alertness continues to grow. I discovered this week that he is super smiley with women...he's already flirting. He has his 4 month check up on Tuesday and we are so excited to see how much he weighs and how tall he is now. I'm guessing 15 lbs and 24 inches.

Not much else has gone on this month. Expert Auto Glass continues to get busier and busier. Ari Diamonds is picking up as well. What else...What else...OH! I saw a butterfly yesterday for the first time this year. It made me feel like spring was actually here!

I haven't done much baking this month. I did make really cute cake pops, but forgot to take a picture. I tried my hand at floral design, and it wasn't half bad. Slowly, but surely I am becoming a domestic woman. :)


Adam celebrated his 29th birthday this month. Unfortunately he was sick for his b-day, but we went out to eat anyway. We went to Chili's and it was delicious. I bought Adam a suit, and my parents bought him a suit and tie. Reed's gift to daddy was to sleep 10 hours straight...or was that a gift to me.

Baby Reed Update!




So Reed is 3 1/2 months old now! I can't believe it. He is growing like a weed. Yesterday he laughed for the first time (I'm not counting when he laughs in his sleep). He is such a wonderfully happy baby. He sleeps through the night, most nights! On Monday we took him to see my friend Kristi who just had a baby a month ago. Reed and Hudson will be great friends! Adam's business is doing great! They keep growing! Ari is pretty much the same. Just loving selling diamonds and seeing happy people in love! I'll be posting more pictures of Reed tonight!

Baby Reed is 2 months old today!



My how time flies! I can't believe that Reed is two months old. It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant. The last two months have been so crazy. We are very fortunate that with exception of a few nights, Reed is a very good sleeper. He is happy and fusses very little. In fact he has started to smile now. He doesn't do it a lot, but when I catch a smile it just makes my day!

I am back to work and trying to find my place as a mother/employee. Adam's business is continuing to grow and Reed loves going to the office. Adam's business started as a rock chip stand at a car wash and has expanded to doing fleet and customer windsheilds, windows in churches, and now freight brokering. It's amazing what he has done in a year and a half. I am so proud!

Reed is having his two month check up today and we are expecting a clean bill of health. It looks to me like he has grown a lot, but I guess we will have to wait a few more hours for the numbers. As for Adam and I we are doing great... a little sleep deprived...but great! We love watching our little man grow and we are enjoying every day more and more.
