Reid - 9/4/2015

Reid ate half of malt-o-meal cereal and two servings of raisins for breakfast.  For lunch he ate ground beef, three servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, three servings of apple slices, and ate mixed fruit.

I'm starting with some pictures and notes from yesterday afternoon.  Two reasons;  There were some funny things from yesterday (with Kenzie) that I want to post and secondly, I have a new baby here this morning and I didn't get too many notes jotted down from today!!  The boys played with the blocks a lot, just like in the pictures, but not as "elaborate!"  :)  Cooper was still sleeping when I took this first picture.  Kenzie was showing Reid how to put "windows" in their block fort.  (I'm sure you already spotted Kenzie in the lower right-hand corner of the picture.)

We had grapes and rice cakes for snack yesterday and Kenzie was eating a LOT and trying to keep pace with Reid!  Right before she left the table (with Reid still eating) she said, "My Gosh that Kid eats a lot!!  LOL  It was SO stinking cute what she said, but more the way she said it!!  I roared!!  This next note has nothing to do with Reid, but thought you might like it anyhow!  Kenzie was watching me change a HUGE poopy diaper.  (Sophie)  She said, "That's disgusting!" And then she said (totally serious), "Where's Missy?!?  This is one for Missy to clean up!!"  Ha ha!!  I agree!

This contraption that Kenzie helped the Reid and Cooper build started out as a "dinosaur."  Then Kenzie said it was a "Train that Flies!"  Cooper said (VERY seriously), "Trains don't fly!"  Kenzie's response, "Well this one does!!"  (Kenzie is in this picture, but you'll have to zoom in to find her!  She's right behind Reid.)  When I took the picture they were camping out on "dinosaur island."

Here's a picture of Cooper and Reid getting acquainted with the new baby, Sophie's cousin, Hudson Boyle.  Cooper was thrilled when Hudson kept grinning at him!  "I make him laugh!"  Cooper said.

Sophie was sitting on the step (in the picture) and then standing up and taking a couple of steps.  So I grabbed the camera and had her sit there and was trying to coax her into doing it again!  Well that wasn't working, but Cooper and Reid immediately came over, sat down and Reid started saying, "Me wanna walk, me wanna walk!"  Ha ha!  So Reid started walking to me and I'm not sure exactly what Cooper was doing, but Sophie's body language says, "leave me alone!"  :)
