Rain, Rain, Go Away...

It has rained so much lately, which has been killing Reed.

He loves playing outside, so he isn't happy when it's raining.

Needless to say, we've had to spend a lot of time playing

inside! This means, he has had plenty of time to open and

play with everything he got for his birthday.

We've watched Nemo and Dora a million times, we've

ridden all of his ride-on toys through the house, we've

played with all his cars and learned all of their names,

we've played with fire trucks, garbage trucks, and

dump trucks, we've colored, and we've watched

Thomas the Train go around and around...

Laughing because he's learned how to make

the train go and stop.

It didn't take him long to figure out how

to make the train stop. He amazes us because

you can show him how to do something one time,

and he's got it...so independent!

The week before last, Aunt Tina & Knox came

up to do a little shopping. She found him a

precious outfit for his baby dedication, which

was this past weekend. We were so glad that we

were able to be there for Knox & Katelyn's dedication.

While they were here, Reed tried his best to play with Knox.

He even shared his popcorn with Knox.

One day last week, it rained all day. Reed
had cabin fever so bad and was literally begging
to go outside. He found his shoes, put them on,
and just stood by the door saying "I outside,
I outside!" We couldn't resist...

Our yard looked like a lake. We had water every
where. Reed had a blast running back and forth
through all of the water.

At one point, he fell flat on his face in the water.
He stood up and said "What happened?"
He even lost his shoe! Check out our
soaking wet little boy!

It didn't take him long to hop on his four-wheeler.
He rode it through the water and just laughed!

Yesterday, I walked into the living room and found
Reed lying on the floor watching his train go
around and around. I thought he was going to
fall asleep because he laid there for at least
fifteen minutes. I guess he was just resting
because he got up and went right back to playing.
