Last few days before Nana arrives!

Over the past few days, Reed has been a busy little kid. We've been taking him all over the place and he's been loving it, that is, until he fell and skinned his knee. He seemed to recover just fine and still felt up to going to the pool even though he had a "boo boo". He has also been very busy testing out the baby toys and making sure they are durable.

Well, it took a while, but we figured out how to add video to the blog. Here is Reed helping to make his birthday cake....

Reed & Friends

Every Monday morning I meet with some ladies at the local grocery store restaurant to have coffee and chat. Their are women of all ages and just recently more and more woman have started coming that have young children, I think everyone has children, but the older ones are in school. Reed is one of the older ones and he loves playing with them every Monday. They all get along really well and have a lot of fun together. It's a fun time for kids and Moms!

Reed's 2nd Birthday

Today was a rough day. Reed was not well rested so the morning was extra hard. After nap he did better and we tried playing with his new bike, which he wouldn't get on. We don't get it because he wouldn't get off of it at the store, but we get it home and he refuses to have anything to do with it. Then we had pizza for dinner and had some friends over to celebrate with us with cake. He opened up his gifts from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Lee and then he partied it up until after 9. It was a pretty fun evening.

Friday Activities

Today Reed celebrated his birthday at daycare so I decided to suck it up and try and make a cake. To my credit, it turned out pretty darn good. He helped me bake a little and he also was more than happy to lick the bowl. It was a fun morning and they said he had a lot of fun at daycare too! After daycare, we went to a friends house (our Swiss Grandparents) who invited us over for dinner, we will do anything for a free meal and Reed was happy to see them.

Circus & BBQ

We had a big weekend this weekend! Saturday, we went to the Royal Circus. It is a really small one, but it was my first one and Reed's first one too! It was perfect for kids, not too long so it kept his attention and just a lot going on. He loved it! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures and I tried to take some afterwards, but our battery was dying so I only got one or two and they aren't great ones.
Then on Sunday, Chris took Reed and went with some buddies on a BBQ while I was lucky enough to stay home and relax. It had been raining all weekend so he wore his galoshes. It took him awhile to get used to them, but soon enough, he was jumping in mud puddles!! He liked the freedom the galoshes gave him!

Our Anniversary

Our Anniversary was yesterday and Chris and I made the most of it. In the morning we went shopping and then in the afternoon, we went to the pool. That evening we just hung out at home and went to bed early. Nothing too exciting, but I did take a few pictures.
