MY FIRST HAIRCUT!! CALL ME "SLICK."

You saw my crazy hair in the last post. Well, Mommy sent that picture to Leeanna as proof that I really needed a haircut bad, and she worked me into her schedule at the shop. We went on Friday night, and boy was I good. Mommy held me and tried to make sure I didn't wiggle and lose an ear. Daddy entertained me so I would look the right way. But even with all that, it took Leeanna's experience and her brilliant idea to get the job done right. If you zoom in on the top picture, you'll see in my hand...a CHEET-O!! I never had a Cheet-o before, and ya know what?? I. Like. Cheet-os. Even if they're covered in my own hair. And you can see from the picture below, how handsome I am with my new slick cut...both ears intact.

CHECK OUT THIS FAR OUT NAP HAIR, MAN!

52 WEEKS OF REID

Yeah, yeah, I know what I said. 365 days. So I've already failed miserably...sue me. I am amending my previous post so people don't get their knickers in a twist. I can tell ya that there is probably a picture (or ten) of Reid taken every single day--but there have lately not been enough hours in the day to get on and blog daily.

So here are some favorites of this week, which include the first birthday party, playing at the park, and some really seriously bad nap hair. Enjoy!

(edited later: OOPS, the site will only take so many pics at one time...so you will see the bad nap hair on another post!)

THIS IS IT! Day 1 of 365 Days of Reid





I'll have to post the birthday bash pictures later. First I want to get started posting on my 365 days of Reid. Today I turned one year old and I had a great day. I heard from people I hadn't heard from in a long time, got to go visiting, and got to go get my first pair of BIG BOY SHOES (check out my new kicks in the pic below) at Stride Rite. In case you're wondering, all this talk about my tater feet is true. I am in a size 5 extra wide. Anyway, back to my special day. After a really great nap, I got to go outside and play in the sunshine. There was such a nice breeze. Today's pictures are from the late afternoon while me and daddy enjoy a fun moment together in the back of his truck.

Oh, and a note to Cousin Jen--enable the comments on your new blog so all the cool people who check in can leave a message. Glad a little guy like me could inspire you so much!

Love, Reid

COUNTDOWN TO BIRTHDAY FUN!

My first birthday is almost here! Party on Friday at daycare, party Saturday with my family, then a whole week off daycare with mom. Pray for good weather so there will be lots of time to play outside and have fun!

Just for the record, on my birthday, I have eight teeth, can pull up and stand anywhere and can stand with "no hands." I can say "ba-ba," "mama," "ktyktykty" (kitty). I love books, and usually sleep thru the night. I can eat lots of different finger foods, and spaghetti is just about my favorite!

Hope to see you all soon! Let me know if you're reading and leave a comment.

Love,

Reid
