September 17, 2017 ~ 17 weeks

The many faces of Reid! Our little man has so many expressions and simply the most heart-warming smile. He lights up the room and can make anyone smile when he turns his on. He’s been eating his hands a lot and drooling on the regular. This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong came for a visit and Grandpa and Kevin put in new lights in Reid’s room. Four recessed lights along with a ceiling fan and light combo. It is SO nice to have light in there now! Grandma enjoyed playing with Reid and Griffin and I was able to get all kinds of things done which was an awesome feeling! We are thankful for their help. Reid even spent some time in the “walker”, which we use as a stationary play set for him. He makes the cutest faces as he concentrates and reaches for the noisemakers. 

Reid is really in to grabbing any and everything. He’s getting pretty close to outgrowing the baby bassinet that we use on the countertops as he can grab the sun visor!

I enjoy seeing the fun the boys have during the day. Reid has been enjoying having books read to him by Debbie and Griffin. 

Here is Reid’s ceiling before any lights followed by a pic from after they were almost finished. What a huge difference! The recessed lights are LED too.  Kevin also put a new LED light in his closet too.  And here you can check out Griffin showing off his little bro’s room. This particular evening he had me laughing so hard I was crying. He wanted me to record him so I took several videos, one of which I’ve posted here. He was so excited and being so silly. I’m happy to have it on video. 

This. It just kind of worries me and perplexes me at the same time. Reid almost always falls asleep with his right eye cracked open! Sometimes it’s both of his eyes but always his right eye open more than his left. I plan to ask the pediatrician about it at his 4 month well check and I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about but it’s kind of freaky to me! Debbie was unexpectedly sick this week so I ended up going in to work late on day and taking Reid with me.  Thankfully he is an easy baby and slept or was happy while we were there long enough for me to get some things taken care of. The following day Jim and Pat came up which was a great help!Griffin continues to enjoy playing with our neighbors Cole and Cooper. They go back and forth playing at each of our houses, inside, outside, it just depends on the day and the weather! We love that he has kiddos to play with in our neighborhood.  And here he is eating his favorite choice: fish and chips! Although this night he was able to tell the fish wasn’t “cod” and he wasn’t as big of a fan as he typically is. This kid cracks me up.
