Reid loves to feel like a big boy and do things "himself". One of his most-uttered phrases is "I DEEEED IT!"... meaning, "I did it! Myself!" This is usually in reference to taking off his clothes, or climbing up on something, or putting on shoes... like these Angry Bird slippers (that are actually J's)...
The other day when we got home from taking J and E to school I was switching the laundry around (seriously we had been in the house for like less than 2 minutes!) when I heard, "I DEEEED IT!" and immediately searched for Reid to see what he had gotten into. Well, this time, his "I did it" referred to styling his own hair with the hair gel I use on the boys in the mornings...
He was so proud that I couldn't be mad. And those big brown eyes... Oh!
He is still a two-finger sucker, and he always rubs his right ear while he sucks his fingers. Melts my heart.
A triple-playdough-playdate at the condo...
More shirtless-Reid yumminess with his favorite Christmas present...
And this little boy is getting so big I can barely call him a little boy anymore. He melts my heart, too...
Reid was a little upset here that his ice cream was all gone... although we could have filled the bowl again with all that was left on his body...
Just couldn't stay awake on one of the last days of driving from the beach to pick the big boys up from school...
I've been trying to give Reid some "room time" lately where I basically shut him in his room (with the doorknob safety lock on) to play by himself for a little bit while I take a shower... since he's so mischievous all the time this seems to be safer than letting him run loose around the house. Sometimes he gets upset at first but then actually does start playing with toys after a few minutes, which is something he usually doesn't do when he's loose. Well, the first time I did this I got out of the shower and went to check on him and saw this...
My plan had backfired! Little stinker! It wasn't even close to naptime and I just knew he wouldn't nap later if I let him keep sleeping so I woke him up and luckily he did take a regular nap later.
These two little boys are just the best of buddies. It is so sweet to see and hear the love they have for each other. Although I do wish they would have just a little more patience with Reid... but I was a big sister and I can understand their frustration. I keep telling Reid that I have a little best buddy for him on the way soon! Here J and E are snuggling together after naps...
... and they love to play computer games together. They take turns and really help each other. When I saw them standing like this one time I just had to capture it...
And lastly, this is a really cheesy video, but it is just so cute of Reid. If you feel like sitting through it please excuse my congested, sing-songy, cheeseball voice. I was trying to capture Reid's voice at this age and some of the cute little things that he says. I also really like to hear the boys saying, "I love you" when they're little. And "Ugga-Mugga" is a phrase from one of our fave TV shows, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" and usually Reid says it really clearly and it's so cute! Anyway, the video's not very exciting, but it's one of my favorites and I've watched it like 10 times already. :)
