just couldn't resist!

This little boy is just getting to freaking cute! He loves his bath time so I thought that I would post a few cute pics. You just can't resist those cute little cheeks!

He loves the washer.. he loves to stand up on it, that is actually the first thing that he pulled himself up on..
Little monster face.. just to cute for his own good!
He loves to put his bath toys in his mouth and swim or crawl around with them. He looks like a little dog..

I thought that this blog was a little one sided..

So we decided to add some pictures of jake... :) he was starting to feel left out!



Reed Loves being outside. He will whine and cry until we go outside, and then we won't say a word the whole time we are out. He love to watch people ( he's a starer just like him mom) and he loves all the kids, so we go the park EVERYDAY just so he can watch them play. He will be so happy once he can walk. He is getting close to that too! He can stand up and walk between things, and he turns around and leans up against things, and he is turning into a terror. He loves computers, cell phones, cords, and pretty much anything that he isn't suppose to have. He doesn't really care for all of the millions of toys I brought him, but what can you do..
He loves the slide!
This is Reeds favorite book. Well i would have to say page. He love the fluffy tummy on the kitty. Yes my son loves kitten books, and his favorite toy is a butterfly..


Lookin' handsome like his daddy!

always very concerned...

Oh! and Jake and I made the BEST dinner the other night! We had orange chicken (like from panda express) You can buy the orange sauce here, and we made our own chicken and it was pretty freaking close the real thing.(maybe better) so yummy!

Reed don't eat the sand.. its yucky..

but he doesn't listen...Reed and I got to go over to the TY warner park (you know that people that make beanie babies) and it was really fun, Sara took us over there, and made us a little picnic and we played for a long time! We had so much fun. Reed loved swinging the the SAND and he went down the little slides.. with help of course... but he loved it! then we were hot, so we came back and went swimming. It was so cute because of all the activities he fell asleep in the stroller on the way home and let me change him and put him in his car seat and go the costco with out even waking up. It was so cute..

So WE are in CHICAGO! We made it here 2 weeks ago now. I think.. anyways, we all packed up in the car to the tippy top! Plus we had to put a few things on the top. The best part is that our car doesn't have a rack. So we just strapped everything down with bungie cords. We looked awesome! Just like a crazy little family with a stroller and saucer on top. Reed was stuffed in a little corner of the car. We called it his little bat cave. It was just a 8 hour drive to chicago, so not to bad. Besides that we haven't been doing to much. Reed and I just hang out and go the park across the street. Its a really nice park, it has a splash pad, and the ground is all squishy. Reed loves the swings! (well that pretty much all he do (:

But a few weeks ago me and Reed got to go with Celeste and her mom Chantel to Palmyra New york. It was so great! We got to go to the sacred grove, and all the sights around there. We also got to go to the Palmyra Pageant, which if you have been to the Manti pageant its really good, but Palmyra was so AMAZING! I expected it to be kinda boring ( like the manti pageant (no offense manti) but it wasn't it was all about the book of Mormon- it was full of battles, and action and they had tons of special effects! so cool!!!
Then we got to stop and literally run to and see Niagara falls! The whole trip was awesome, and I had so much fun with Celeste and Chantel! Thanks Guys for letting us tag along!!!

Sacred Grove- it was so peaceful and you could definitely fell the spirit, it reminded me of being in the temple.

the AWESOME Pageant!!
The temple

Sacred grove again, it was so peaceful Reed fell asleep.
The Falls




These are in Chicago, I am his new Jungle Gym! He has just learned to pull himself up on stuff so he climbs on everything!
He's decided he wants to crawl like this, i think his knees are getting sore.
So fun, he is just a fun loving happy kid!
Little lady bug, was crawling all over him!
me and reed just shooting the breeze..

growing like a weed!

I can't seem to get enough of this cute little guy!

OVERLOAD

So I finally got my camera charger so that I could import all of the new pics, so here is an overload of everything we did a month ago. A few of these first ones are new, I took them today, so we could show all of his teeth, but he wanted the camera more, so he is crying in a few of them.

Here they are 4 TEETH!! 6 months old and has 4 teeth. my goodness.

Reed cute Mohawk. He is getting more hair now, I'm still not sure of he final color yet.
I think this looks just like jake, he has such expressive facial features. Just like his daddy.
My little sweetheart! ( thanks for the pj's grandma stratton! They are so cute!)
He loves to sleep with this little dog now when he is in his swing. its so precious.

This is when he got his first 2 teeth, when he was 4 months old.
First time we went swimming! So handsome!
He loves his saucer, as long as I'm not on the computer...
He is a face sleeper! He will not sleep any other way, it made me really nervous at first but as long as he is sleeping I'm happy.
We got to go the the Pittsburgh Zoo on fathers day, because the dads got in free, and reed did too, so we only had to pay for me. It was a lot of fun! Reed wasn't really to interested in the animals, he just like to people watch. So he enjoyed himself! But they did have an aquarium too, and he really liked the fish.


Downtown pittsburgh! Where we live looks nothing like this. I will post pictures soon.
