January 21, 2018 ~ 35 weeks

Kevin and I went out on a breakfast date this week, it was like the fourth time we’ve been out together since Reid was born 8 months ago! I had a work meeting downtown so after breakfast Kevin dropped me off at the convention center and then and as it turned out he worked from home  since it was Martin Luther King day.  It was a nice snowy morning and we had a window seat at The Guild House downtown. So fun!  And believe it or not, Kevin ordered the pancakes and I had the truffled eggs.

I love this sweet boy. On many nights lately we go in to check on Griffin and find him laying on the floor just inside his door. We can’t figure out why he’s doing it – we thought maybe his nightlight (yet he wants it on in order to go to bed) but the hall light is in his face when he’s at his door. Some nights he takes over all his blankets and lovey’s and sleeps there most of the night.  Lots of brother time this week and many different expressions on Reid’s face. I realized I don’t have many diaper-like photos of Reid as he’s almost always wearing a sleeper or other outfit. So on this day I put him down on the floor in his diaper to crawl around. The next thing I knew Griffin came in with just his undies on too so that he could be in the pics. Hahahaha. We have so many toys from Griffin that we really haven’t gotten many things for Reid. The other day Kevin went through and replaced batteries on a bunch of Griffin’s old toys which hadn’t been audible in years.  This remote is their new favorite.  Reid had an ear infection awhile back and from that time I’ve paid more attention to him touching his head and ear area. He has kicked the ear infection, but really I’ve noticed him kind of touching or brushing his right ear or hair when he’s tired or upset. Here’s the perfect example, lol! We have a great morning routine and it is my favorite time of the day where most days we all spend time together – even if it’s short! This boy is a tummy sleeper just like Griffin, but when he’s on his back and sleepy he’ll tuck his hands behind his head just like Griffin does! This week Debbie did some sensory bins with the kiddos. Reid really loved playing in the water and Griffin loved the flour. 

One evening when I was putting Reid to bed I was talking to him. He often puts his hands up to my face and mouth. So I often pretend to nibble his fingers and I gently bite down on them. This night he just began giggling and it melted my heart! I video’d it to capture the sound – there is no imagery. Enjoy, baby giggles are the best!
