The Reid Report:
- Tomatoes and blueberries are still at the top of my food list, but I've added a couple of new favorite fruits - pineapple and especially raspberries. I kick my legs in my highchair and get very excited when I see mom pull out the container of raspberries!
- I'm using a plate now, and most of the time I leave it right side up on my highchair tray.
- I've also started "using" a fork. This one is a work in progress, but mom and dad think it's interesting to note that I typically hold the fork with my left hand and pick my food up with my right hand {they're so easily entertained nowadays}.
- I still love every chance I can get to ride on my Little Trike, and of course, I just love being outside in general.
- Playing with my train table is definitely my favorite pastime right now, but it's a little messy for mom and dad because I also love to throw anything and everything.
- I still enjoy reading. If mom is sitting on the floor, I'll grab a book and plop down on her lap so she can read it to me. Mom thinks this is why my teachers say that I like to "sit" on the other kids at school. I say - at least I'm not biting them! :)
- Speaking of biting, I've been bitten at school three (3) times now, but I don't even cry. One time, I sat on one of my friends (all out of love of course), so s/he bit me on my upper back. I just let out a little scream and got up and walked away.
- All of a sudden, I like to carry around my lovies (and not just sleep with them). This may be the bain of dad's existence right now. I heard mom remind him that "it's just a phase." Whatever that means!
- On a not-so-happy note, I've discovered a handy little technique which I call "communication" but mom and dad call "tantrums." All I know is it gets their attention! I think mom included a photo for show and tell below.
- Just a couple of days ago, I decided it was time to increase my talking {aka. babbling}, and once I started, I can't be stopped! I've mastered my very own Reid Language!
- On that note, I added a sound to my animal noises repertoire - I know what a cow, dog & fish say.
- My new favorite word - "Uh-oh." Mom and dad think this is so cute {remember I told you they were easily entertained?).
- And as you can see in one of the pictures below, my favorite hand gesture and game is "Where'd it go??"
- Mom and dad are happy to announce that {when I'm in the right mood}, I can take direction fairly well (i.e. "Reid, please take this paper towel to your dad."). I actually do it!
- I'm quite strong, and I love to help daddy with the big jobs around the house - like moving/installing a new dryer for mom. :)

You can find the boy walking around like this often nowadays
Taking a break (lasted approximately 3 seconds). This one wasn't a tantrum.

But something went awry....
Hudson gets SO upset anytime Reid is upset
"Where'd it go???"

Fork!
