Reed Reading

Reed is mostly done with the school work I had planned for him this year. We only have about ten more lessons in his reading book. I am so amazed at how much he can read now. I think he really started to improve when he realized he knew more about what was going on because he can read signs for himself. He also makes sure we're reading the right words when we read to him. Plus he likes to read to Simon and Jonah. I can't wait until he's done because I have an Amelia Bedelia book that I want to read with him. I think he's really going to like the humor in it. Here's a picture of Tim reading to Sam, Reed, and Simon.

Jonah's 9 month checkup

Jonah is now nine months old! My baby is 19 lbs 11 oz and 29 inches tall. He has been pulling up for awhile, but lately he has been trying to cruise. He definitely has the whole crawling thing down now although he still prefers to army crawl when he wants to carry something around. Right now his favorite toy is a ball, any ball really. Jonah has definitely turned into a sweet smiley baby. His favorite past time is to smile and wave at people. He's also very sensitive to when somebody is yelling at him. He cries when someone tells him no. Jonah is such a blessing to be around.
