10 weeks, 11 months




That's right.  My baby in my belly is now 10 weeks, my baby Reed is 11 months-couple more weeks and he'll be ONE!!! Crazy.  I have a ton on my mind to talk about Reed, I'll try to get it all out with words.  I need to update more so that I don't have huge long posts and forget about milestones Reed has been accomplishing.  Anyways, so being pregnant:  It's been good so far.  Can't complain.  I'm showing already-probably because I stopped working out and I eat...alot!  I've had headaches that hit me in the afternoons along with nautiousness, but other then that-it's been good.  As for my little Reed, he's just growing and getting sassy.  He's turning into a toddler...For instance, every morning he wakes up he is so grumpy because all he can think about is drinking that first bottle!  I have to pry the pacifier out of his mouth and he cries for that two seconds until the bottle is in his mouth.  He drinks the entire thing, chucks it to the ground and gives a big smile and is as happy as can be!   Then, it's off to playing.  He rolls out of his bouncer chair and is off to getting into or climbing on something.  He is eating 3 times a day baby food still and 4 bottles. He got another double ear infection about a month ago.  With that, he was pulling at his ears and waking up in the night crying.  Everything is better now.  The past three days, he has cut himself down to only 1 nap...I don't like that.  He get's really cranky.  But, he refuses to go to sleep.  Sometimes it's the morning nap he'll skip-mainly when we are at the pool or something at that time, and sometimes it's been his afternoon one (the 3:30-4 ish) hour.  He knows how to throw balls now-actually his cars and any toy at the time.  He bites when he's frustrated-he's grabbed his own fist a couple times and has bit it...crazy kid.  He's a screamer and loves to yell all the time.  Hurts my ears and doesn't help my headaches...When he drops something, I'll say "Uh oh" and he will copy but only say the "Uh..."  Ha, it's cute.  He's practicing walking a lot lately.  We'll stand him up and tell him to "walk" and he'll take about 10 steps.  He sleeps on his belly every night!  And he mostly will have his butt sticking up in the air too.  I just started giving him a little blanket in the crib while he sleeps, but it doesn't seem to stay on him.  He's a wiggle worm and rolls all over the crib at night.  He loves to wrestle.  I love to wrestle and kiss him to death.  He hates kisses-he's not a cuddly boy...But he loves when he crawls away and wants us to chase after him.  He laughs forever trying to crawl fast away from us.
I'm getting ready for his first birthday party coming up on June 4.  It'll be so fun for him.  The theme is Super Reeders (from his favorite show Super Why).  I ordered him a super hero cape with an R on it and made all the kiddos little capes to take home as well.  Hopefully, it'll be a happy day.  Can't wait!
