Time Flies


Two months have already passed since Reed was born. In some ways it seems that it cannot be possible that time has moved that quickly, but more often it seems that he has been a part of our family forever. It is already getting to a point where I cannot remember a time without his sweet face.

Some quick Reed updates:
Likes- riding forward facing in the sling, "talking" with anyone who will converse with him, rolling
over tummy to back, being outside, being swaddled, smiling, sitting and standing in laps, and most of all his sister
Dislikes- being left alone, his crib, not getting fed right when he wants to be, mommy feeding him
bottles, the sun in his face
Milestones- sleeping through the night most nights, rolling over tummy to back, smiling and cooing.

Today was great. Emma was singing along to "Numbers Rhumba" (yes, I do wish I could say it was a cooler song, but hey who said The Wiggles aren't cool!!) and all of a sudden Reed starts cooing and talking to Emma. He talks all the time face to face, but not just on his own...guess he was singing along with his sister. I have a feeling the backseat is going to be a much louder place in the near future!





I am so utterly amazed at the love between the two of them. I know things will get rougher once he starts getting into all of her things, but Emma just adores him. When I pick her up at mother's day out it isn't me she is excited to see, but him. I figured by now the novelty would have worn off, but the love grows every day. Reed is the same way, any time he sees Emma his face just lights up and he already hangs on every little thing she does. Who knew they could be so close already!

i think that watching the sibling bonding is so amazing. from the older one's perspective its like they have someone more like them around and can't wait until the younger one is big enough to do lots of fun things with. from the younger one's perspective the older sibling is so fun and animated (more energy than mom and dad) always has fun things to say to keep them entertained... the next few months will be FUN! just wait until you start reed on solids and emma wants to help feed him!
