Reid at 16 Months

Another month has flown by in the life of Reid William! He has grown and changed so much in a short time but still keeps his personality, which can best be described as: sweet. He is still very "lovey" this month. His hugs could melt even the coldest heart. They are tight gripping, long lasting, and full of sweet pats on the back. If you haven't had a hug from Reid you definitely need to get one of those. :)

He has added some new words to his vocabulary this month, however he continues to be pretty quiet. He says lots of words but he does not say them often. He just isn't much of a talker I guess! Some new words are: BB (finally!), Santa (a month or so late), school, apple, yogurt, and diaper. He is also still loving to sign! I should probably teach him some more signs because he knows and uses every one that we have taught him!

One of Reid's new favorite things is reading books. He has finally gotten to that stage where he will sit still and flip through a whole book and then want to start over and read it again. He often goes to his toy box, get out some of his favorites and then comes and plops down in my lap. I love it! His preferred books at the moment are: Sesame Street Peek a Boo, some other peek a boo book, Sesame Street nursery rhymes, The Going to Bed book, a Clifford the Big Red Dog book, and a couple of Bible story books.

Some other hobbies lately include racing cars down his brothers' race track, pulling all of my makeup out of the drawer and eating some of it, pulling all of his brothers' underwear out of their drawers, playing with and losing toothbrushes, watching Jack play basketball, singing songs with motions, and playing at Chick fil a. He is a huge fan of Chick fil a and feels like a very big boy going up the stairs and down the slide. I am thankful that his big brothers can help me drag him down when it's time to go. :)

We love our baby!
