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.

Happy Birthday, Great Grandma!

Great Grandma Annabelle turned 91 yesterday!

Cousin Matthew turned...well, less than 91.

Lookin' good, Great Grandma!

A little getaway

With all the craziness of the holidays

and Mom's holiday work schedule,

a day or two away sounded pretty nice.

We headed to the cabin--

a definite perk of your own place!

With all the rain,

the water sure was high!

The road is totally submerged past our place

And really high up the path

It was a great day for hiking,

throwing rocks,

and 4-wheeling!

Check out all the new gear we got for Christmas!

Goggles to keep the dust out

and gloves to keep warm!

Tucker did his first 4-wheeling too

What a sunset!

This calls for a selfie

Dad got to install his big gift from Mom--

his own beer fridge for the cabin!

With a little help from us, of course

We even had time for some games!

Grandpa had one more

Christmas gift up his sleeve...

A Chipmunk for Wes and I to share

He and Grammy J bought it shortly after

I was born and have been saving it

With a little help from Grandpa...

Wes was really good

I wasn't too bad either

We'll call that a really good getaway day!
