Super heroes

We broke out our capes today

It was just that kind of day

New underwear

In honor of Beckett

getting rid of all diapers

(even at night!),

Mom bought him new underwear.

Beckett got boxers,

and the rest of us got some new characters.

Beckett wanted to try on everyone else's too.

Who doesn't love new underwear day?

Our kind of shopping

Today we went to the boat show,

not looking for a boat

but for 4 wheelers and Rangers.

Well, we didn't find any of those,

but we did find

pirates!

and wave runners!

and more wave runners

And we did a little fishing too

It wasn't what we set out for,

but we had a pretty good time all the same

House party

...we don't need nobody

Turn the TV off

break that boombox out.

If you're gonna be a homebody,

we're gonna have a house party!

Pinewood Derby 2016

Well, we may not have spent much time working on them

(all of 1-2 hours)

but we still had fun racing them!

Reed Brothers,

poised for action

Ready, set, go!

Did I win?

Hmm.

A consistant 3rd place

in nearly all my heats.

Check out our cars!

Maybe next year we'll spend a little more time.

We may try for the slowest car--

there's a prize for that!

Bingo!

What is better than Friday Night bingo?

Bingo with books for prizes!

Lots of winners

and goofing off with friends!

Delayed gratification

Our Christmas gift from Aunt Mandy and Uncle Kurt

finally arrived!

Meet the newest members of the Blue Crew!

The gift that just keeps giving...

Date night with the in-laws

Mmm, Restaurant Week!

Mom, Dad, Aunt Mandy, Uncle Kurt,

and Grammy J and Grandpa

headed out to The American

for some cauliflower soup and octopus

(they said it was better than it sounds!)

I think we got the better end of the deal

with popcorn shrimp at Grandma Phyllis.

Adults are weird.

Trouble

Did I mention I can pull up,

stand,

and cruise?

Look out end tables

and low shelves...

Looking my best

I picked out my outfit.

Don't I look so cute?

Ugh.

So hard to get a good picture taken

with these jokesters around.

Tucker's Baptism

Deacon Rich has baptized all the Reed boys.

It was only fitting he finish us out!

Chelsea and Jake were chosen as my Godparents

All my brothers and cousins

got the water "ready"

I slept through the whole thing

Chelsea dressed me

Jake lit my candle

I woke up just in time for the pictures!

My family and Godparents

I love this picture--

it's my family and

all my brothers' Godparents 

(except Jack's--they couldn't make it)

and aunts and uncles

and grandparents

I'm blessed to be sure

And what's a party without Philly steaks

and cake?

Thanks for celebrating with me!

Our Tuck

Like all my brothers,

I had my pictures taken today for my 9 month collage.

They turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!

How could they not be super cute???

if you are interested!)

Put me in, Coach!

Our winter season was short,

but we got in some good playing time.

I'm getting pretty good at ball-handling

and dribbling.

I can pass,

but I'd rather keep it.

Or sometimes "accidentally" take it from my teammates 

We have fun all the same!

Skatin' fools

Jack's Cub Scout Pack

had a skate night tonight.

You better believe we were up for that!

It was Beckett's first time on skates--

it's hard to believe!

He was a natural!

 Well, sort of

Pizza, wheels, and all the boys?

Yep, that's a fun night

Three quarters of a year

Mom and Dad can't believe it.

But it's true.

I'm 9 months old today.

Let's see...

I have my 2 bottom teeth

and my top 2 just cut through.

I military crawl really fast

and I'm starting to crawl with my belly up

more and more

I like to eat,

but don't give me any of the baby food stuff.

I want to eat what everyone else is eating!

I LOVE to be carried,

either in my new carrier

or just on a hip

I love playing with my brothers

I'm generally pretty happy!

I take 2 naps a day

and sleep from 8:30pm til 7:30am--

waking Mom up once or twice to eat

I'm a bit scrawny--

I weight 17.5 pounds.

I need those calories!

Did I mention I LOVE to pull up on things?

And cruise around them?

It's my new favorite thing.

Yep, life is pretty good.
