Updates

I just realized that I haven't done an update on the kids growth/accomplishments in quite a while! Here are a few little things to catch you up... REID:

  • Reid was 10 months old this past Sunday (5/10).
  • He weighs about 17 pounds, 6 oz -- I know how many ounces b/c we had to have a baby scale at our house, obviously for when he first came home. I still weigh him every other day!
  • He (FINALLY!) has fat rolls on his chubby little thighs :-)
  • He has two teeth, both on the bottom.
  • His hair is starting to curl and is really getting quite long.
  • He is somewhat mobile...still hasn't quite figured out the crawling mode of transportation, but he can roll, scoot and rock with the best of 'em!
  • He sits very well on his own now...no more tripod!
  • He says mamamamama and dadadadada pretty regularly, although I still don't think he really associates the sounds to me and Jimmy.
  • He LOVES LOVES LOVES his big sister - no one can make him belly laugh harder!
  • He is starting to wave to people.
  • He's still eating stage 2 baby food - his favs are squash, sweet potatoes and bananas. Least favs are green beans, peas, and surprisingly applesauce and peaches.
  • He sleeps pretty consistently from about 8pm - 7am...I know, I am SOOO lucky!
CAMERYN:
  • Cameryn will be 3 years old on June 1st! My how the time flies!!! Hard to imagine that she will be starting Pre-K in the fall of 2010!
  • She weighs roughly 30 pounds.
  • She is SOOOOO smart - and no, I'm not just saying that b/c I'm her mother! I am constantly running into people who are truly amazed that she is only 3.
  • Her favorite color is pink.
  • She would choose to wear a dress every single day if I let her.
  • She doesn't like being dirty.
  • She has a bit of an obsession with shoes (as blogged about before) and insists that they, along with her panties and hairbows match her outfit.
  • Her favorite 'toy' of the moment is Barbie. She does still watch Dora every evening though.
  • She spontaneously likes to give me and Jimmy hugs and kisses and tell us she loves us, which we used to have to prompt her for. I can't tell you how much I LOVE this!
  • She has been completely potty trained since Christmas of last year.
  • She absolutely LOVES her 'baby Reid' and has never once shown any signs of jealousy. I think we feel pretty certain that she will never try to give him away to the exterminator (Janine) :-)
  • She goes to bed around 8:30 and gets up around 7:00 -- again, I know I'm lucky!
