Reid

Reid is constantly squirming around. He loves to kick and swing his arms and creates tsunami waves during bath time. His favorite spot is in his daddy's arms. When we place a toy on the ground in between the boys, Reid snatches it up before Aiden even has a chance to think about it. He has a harder time settling down for naps; right now he's still squirming around a half hour after Aiden fell asleep. Sometimes he'll try out 20 different positions before he finally falls asleep. When he's sleeping at night, he appears to be working on a black belt in Kung-Fu. He loves to go for "train rides" in his daddy's arms and starts grinning ear to ear as soon as he's bounced up and down and hears "Chuga-chuga, chuga-chuga, choo choo". My cousin Paul (1st picture) says Reid bares a striking resemblance to Winston Churchill. Others have argued that he looks like my dad (last picture). He prefers sucking his left thumb and sleeping on his side. He's good natured, has a great appetite, and mainly fusses when he's tired. He has great rhythm and will repeatedly kick out the same pattern when lying on the floor or shake his ball-rattle in rhythm to the music playing from the "You are my sunshine" toy.

Reid brings us much joy.
