I love him.

How could you not? My favorite little guy turned 10 months old back on the 28th. Each day this guy seems to be surprising us with new and funny things that he now can do. So I thought it would be fun to write down what Reid's been up to lately. Especially since a lot of you don't live nearby.

• Eats double the amount of food Ava does in one day. He eats 5 containers of baby food, a yogurt, an adult serving of oatmeal, nurses twice a day, must join us at the table for every meal (even if he just ate) and then tries to devour any morsel of food he can get his grabby little hands on. He's only in the 10th percentile for weight. We're still trying to figure out where the food goes.
• Going along with Reid's love affair with food, he says "Mmmmm" BEFORE and AFTER every bite. The only time he isn't saying it is because he is swallowing. I need to post a video of it.

(Sorry for the blurry picture, taken with Josh's iPhone. I have to mention, the cheese was on his forehead for most of the meal. And he also rubbed something in his hair to make it stick straight up for the rest of the night.)

• What's Reid doing in this picture? You guessed it, asking for more food. Just today he learned how to sign the word "more". But I still think sticking his hand out it pretty dang cute and it gets the point across too.

• We have a slight idea where the food goes, this kid is always moving. He can climb up the stairs, walk around furniture, and his superpower must be crawling, because this kid doesn't mess around when trying to get from point A to B. He is fast. He's usually trying to get to something before Ava or I take it away.
• Anything on the ground is fair game for going in his mouth. Including shoes. Yuck.
• He can stand all by himself for a few seconds. He's usually standing without holding onto anything because he is in the process of raising his hands above his head so he can body slam you.
• Can say "Mama", "Dada" and "Ba" (ball). He also mutters quietly when reading a book.
• Josh is able to work from home a lot. So whenever Reid misses his dad, he looks upstairs (that's where Josh's office is) and screams "Daaaaa!". He's pretty excited when it actually works and Josh comes out of the office.
• His favorite pastimes are playing catch with his ball, taking a bath (he would jump in with his clothes on if we let him), playing peek a boo with Ava behind our curtains, reading books, swinging on the swing, having conversations with us (he's actually now quite vocal), and being upside down. Oh, and can't forget eating.
• He still drools all. the. time. Seriously.
• His first tooth popped through this week. And boy, Reid sure let us know it was coming. He was not a happy little boy. But now he quite enjoys bitting the spoon when I'm trying to feed him.
• One last thing, he can't pass up a good game of follow the leader. Especially when we're clapping, waving or raising our hands above our heads. As you can tell below, he's pretty good at it.

I love him.
