Reid at 15 Months

I am not sure Reid could possibly be any cuter or sweeter than he is! We are loving this age with him and are so glad his personality has returned! This month has been full of milestones as always. Reid is growing so quickly. I have moments in which I wish he would be older so we could do more things and not have nap time in the middle of the day. But then at other times, I just want him to stay this age forever!

This month, Reid has become super snuggly! In the past, he has been too "on the go" to stop much for hugs but lately he slows down here and there to give us some super big hugs and cuddles. I am loving this. :)

He still enjoys being outside, even when it is REALLY cold! I am not a fan of this winter weather because we have not been able to get out or stay out as much as we like. But thankfully, he can handle the cold in small doses. He especially likes going to the playground or on walks (in which he rides in his red car). He is also enjoying his new motorized car that we gave him for Christmas.

He is talking a teeny bit more. He is not as verbal as my other boys were at this age so even the words he says, he says pretty rarely. Here are some new ones we added this month: more, crackers (CA CAS!), Hey!, Got it!, snack, out (outside), car.

Even more than talking, he is signing. I tried using signs with Jack and Graham but honestly, they were unnecessary because the boys were able to say the words by the time they were able to sign them. Reid, however, is LOVING to sign and uses signs often to communicate. The signs he uses frequently are: more, please, thank you, up, help, change (for diaper changes), and all done. He really loves to sign and it keeps the whining to a minimum. :)

He still loves baths! If we say bath time or turn on the water, he full on sprints to the tub!

Speaking of which, he is getting fast! He is pretty much running at times. He is also becoming a quite a climber. If I forget to move the bunk bed ladder, he can climb all the way up and onto the top bunk. He loves to do this! He also likes to climb on top of tables, shelves, etc.

Reid's current favorite foods are: bagel turkey sandwiches, grapes, fruit and yogurt special k cereal, spaghetti, broccoli, yogurt, and of course, crackers. He prefers either graham or goldfish to ritz. :)

He is also liking puzzles, books, and rolling and kicking a ball. He is actually really good at "dribbling" the ball so maybe he will be our soccer star!

So thankful that God has blessed us with Reid and that we've had another great month being his parents!
