He's a big-un! Well, I don't know how big he actually is (we're about a month behind on check-ups), but everyone comments on his huge thighs and knees. And he's eating like a horse. He loves baby food, as long as it is at least a little bit sweet and contains apples or bananas in some way. I actually can't believe how much he eats sometimes. He loves to take a bite and then stick his fingers in his mouth and suck on them before taking another bite. So cute! Here's a video... (and please excuse the mess in the background and our broken sliding glass window that randomly burst one day while Phil and the boys were eating lunch)...
He started crawling a few weeks before his six-month birthday and is now all over the place. This is totally fine and makes him really happy... the only problem is that he's still spitting up a lot and he often ends up leaving a snail trail wherever he goes from crawling through his spit-up. Yes, it really is gross. I almost can't keep up with how much he does it! Luckily he usually just spits up on the hardwood floor and (other than having to sometime scrape it out of the cracks with a knife) it's not too hard to clean up. Was that TMI? I really do try to keep the floors clean of spit-up! For anyone else who had a bad spitter... when does the spitting end?? I was hoping it would stop when we started solids, but no such luck. Here's a crawling video...
He is just the happiest baby all of the time! The only time he ever gets too upset (and even then it's not that bad) is when he's hungry. He's always so smiley!
He ate these two whole jars of food (with some rice cereal added) in one sitting!
In Reid's case it really is true what they say about him wanting to keep up with his brothers. I can't believe how quickly he learned how to crawl and how he seems eager to do other things, too. He was on his knees holding on to the side of the crib the other morning when I went to get him, and I actually saw him trying to climb up onto the fireplace the other day. He started out like this and then I scooped him up...
And here he is already getting into the big boy toys!
I wonder if this means he'll walk early, too. I hope so, because I'd much rather have a walker than a crawler! The sooner they get up off of the gross, dirty ground, the better in my book! :)
Reid really loves watching his brothers and just recently started laughing at the things they do. Jackson thinks this is the coolest thing and loves to make Reid laugh. This was such a cute moment last night...
