HAPPY 20 MONTH BIRTHDAY REED!

Happy 20 Month Birthday Reed
and
Happy Birthday Jesus!

We were in the bedroom playing on the
trampoline, and I asked Reed if he was
ready for some cake. He knew exactly what
I meant because he took off and headed to
the kitchen!
Come on Momma!

I want some cake!!!

"Num, Num!"

If I reach a little harder, I think I can
get some of that icing!

Score!

Having a quick taste test.

Mmmm...that was good!

I think I want some more!

He was so funny with this cake. He
would take off part of the mouth and look
at it, then he would put it back. In
this picture, he took the nose off and
was checking it out.
I put this picture on here because
I wanted everyone to check out what
Daddy was doing...see his tongue!
Pulling the eyes off.

Back to the nose again.

Now, it's time to actually eat the cake!

Can you tell I was trying to get Reed to
smile for the camera?

He was giving me his 'look!'
Here is the grin we love!

Reed going for a bite of cake...

Getting closer...

YUMMY!

In this picture, he is asking us to get him "Down."
He lowers his voice and says it so sweetly.
He knows how to work us already!
We had a wonderful day celebrating Jesus'
birthday and Reed's birthday.
We are so thankful and so incredibly
blessed to have such a precious boy
and such a loving family.

This past week, we really enjoyed
getting to spend time with our loved ones.
Thank you so much for everything!

Pictures from each family Christmas
will be posted in the next few days.
We love you!

I just remembered that I didn't comment on the tongue!!! I can't believe you and Reed have rubbed off on Chris. Perhaps he's just trying to be cool like y'all. Either way, great job capturing proof!
