11 Months

I am a few days late posting this because Reid has yet another ear infection and has been pretty snotty lately. Poor guy has an infection in both ears which has continued for more than a month now! So he's on his 3rd round of some pretty powerful antibiotics and fingers crossed it works.

But now onto the cutest 11 month old at our house. He's obviously had a rough month but he still brings lots of smiles and laughter to all of us. He's not walking yet but can stand for a couple of seconds on his own. He loves to eat (as you can tell) and the only food he doesn't like are strawberries. Somehow I lucked out and have two very good eaters! Before the ear infections started he was drinking 32oz of formula a day but now it's only 20-24oz. At least the transition away from bottles shouldn't be hard in a few weeks.

Some other facts about "Brother Reid" as I call him:
--He can reach and pull down anything on the cabinets
--Opens drawers and pulls out whatever he can reach
--Bear crawls on hard surfaces
--Loves to be outside and as soon as he hears the door open he races to get out there
--Has 4 teeth and likes to bite.
--Wears size 18-24 month clothes
--Sleeps 11-12 hours at night and takes 1-2 naps for 1 hour
--Has a voice and it is loud!!  I just thought he was going to be my quiet, laid back kid!!

He crawls underneath the kitchen chairs then gets stuck!

His new favorite past time is playing in the potty!!!  I will be in another room and all of a sudden hear the toilet seats go up.  Sure enough Reid is splashing around in the water.  He can also flush!!  I can't put a baby lock on it though because Connor is potty training.  Ahh, fun times.

And also notice we had to take down the toilet paper b/c not only was he unrolling it, but he was eating it too!

He has gotten very fast at pushing his shopping cart and always has his tongue out!!!

Caught ya!

Now for the monthly pictures, which were pretty difficult to take this month.  Reid is soooo busy and doesn't sit still:

He loves playing ball.  Whenever someone gets ready to throw a ball, he gets his arms out, ready!

Enough!!!

The Lord's Prayer

Here is a video of my sweet 2 year old saying the Lord's Prayer.  We recently started saying it before we go to bed at night and he memorized it in no time.  He has trouble saying the word "trespasses" but I still think he does a great job!

Flashback

Since I don't have any new pictures to show this week, I found an old video that I never posted.  At age 23 months, Connor learned about dinosaurs (thanks to Daddy not Mommy!!)  So here he is after his 2nd birthday party identifying a few of them:

Happy Belated Valentine's Day...Take 20

This post comes late because Connor, Reid and I are sick :(  We went back for Reid's 2 week check up with his first ear infection and it wasn't completely gone.  Then that night Connor started getting sick and back to the doctor we went.  They are both on augmentin right now and for any of you with little ones who have taken this antibiotic, you know one of the side effects.  So I'm dealing with that too!  Not exactly the way I intended on celebrating my birthday, but thankfully my awesome husband has been coming to our rescue!! 

I don't know if I will ever have luck in getting the boys to look at the camera at the same time!! (Note the shirt that Reid has on, Connor wore last year---it's a 24 month shirt and fits perfectly!!)

Here they are in matching shirts that Mimi bought them.  They say "Future Hunk" but I think they are already hunks!!

It's hard to tell in this picture but they are both looking at each other.
