Reed's new obsession...FISH!

We went to Nashville on Friday for a rehearsal

dinner. Reed was all dressed up, so I had to

take a few snap shots of our cute little man.

The first few pictures didn't turn out great

because my camera was on a certain setting,

and I didn't know it. However, they were too

cute not to post.

Asking where were Lala and Grandmomma.

He didn't pose for long. He was up and running.

I love this picture.

Once I realized my camera was messed up,

I tried to recreate the first few pictures.

Didn't happen...

These pictures were taken on Vanderbilt's campus.

He was walking on the stones of the prayer circle.

After the rehearsal dinner, we went back to the

hotel and rented Mickey Mouse. He was a happy

little camper.

Well, a few weeks ago, we learned that Reed could

crawl out of his pack-n-play and his crib! He's

never really wanted to crawl out of his crib until now!

Mother's Day weekend, we were in

Booneville, and Reed decided to throw a fit.

So, I went in Jack's room and put him in his

pack-n-play for time-out. About 2 minutes later,

Jack's bedroom door opened, and Reed came

running out with a huge smile on his sweet face.

Needless to say, he's been crawling out ever since.

Here he is in action:

He is so proud of himself.

Coming down the side...

He made it!

Here he is crawling back into the pack-n-play.

Check out those black feet!

Our hotel room had a view of the pool, and

Reed was dying to get in it. He kept going to

the door and saying "I want water!"

Unfortunately, the pool was closed, but daddy came
to the rescue! He called the front desk and got

permission for us to go to the other Marriott's indoor pool!

We had one excited little boy!

He went straight to jumping in the water.

We've been working with him on kicking in

the bath tub. He did really good kicking in the pool.

He loved every minute of being in the water.

Getting brave and walking to the 4th step!

Our little fish in the water

On the fourth step again...

Saturday afternoon, we went to the coolest

restaurant. It is called the Aquarium. Fish

were everywhere. Reed found fish that looked

just like Nemo & Dori! He would point

them out to us.

He was super excited!

Pointing to all of the cool fish.

There were stingrays, all kinds of fish, sharks,

and a huge, yellow eel.

Telling Momma that there were "big fish."

Look at that huge fish!

There's a shark! Notice Reed's grip on Lala's

arm. Whenever he'd see a shark, he'd say

"Shark scary," or he would jump!

Lala & Reed enjoying the scenery.

Reed dying out laughing. Needless to say,

Reed's new obsession is fish! That is just

about all he talks about. He's had to take

two baths just so he could play with all of his fish.

After lunch, Reed & Daddy rode the carousel.

Riding it all by himself. What a big boy!

Having so much fun!

Reed loves to watch it move up and down.

They also had this place where you could feed

the stingrays. Reed was a little scared to

feed them, so he just watched his Daddy do it.

Looking closely at all the stingrays.

See the stingray?

Daddy & Reed playing.

Lala, Reed, & a shark! Reed kept saying

"Scary shark!" I love the way he is looking

at that shark.

We had a wonderful time!
