FIRST CRAWL FORWARD TODAY!!

Oct 22

This morning, Reid made his first crawl forwards!! He was determined to get a hold of a cup on the floor and got himself forward. I happened to be on the phone with Travis at the exact moment so it was fun to pass on the exciting news with daddy. Reid is 8 months old today and is really going to be on the move now. As Travis said, "It's all over now." Yep, it sure is!


Reid fell asleep on Daddy (10/21/08).
Reid yesterday also hit another milestone just yesterday (10/21). He is beginning to use the sign for "more" when eating. Right now I am reinforcing him with a bite when he claps to help shape the actual motion which is similar to clapping to request more food. It is so fun to feed him and see him communicate his needs!! I am also working on "all done" when the food runs out to indicate to him that the meal is over.

Here is Shae with Travis's wig for Halloween. Isn't he so cute with a '90s hair do?! Travis is going to be Garth from Wayne's World. Our friend Jeff will be Wayne. His wife Ashley and I are going to be Romy and Michelle. It will be a lot of fun at the Townsends annual Halloween party this Saturday night! Look for pictures next week!!
Here is Payton with curly hair!!! This is from yesterday (10/21) when she asked me to curl her hair for school. What a doll with curls! This week is Red Ribbon week at school----it's to teach the kids to say no to drugs. Each day this week, the kids are encouraged to wear different colors and outfits to take part in the activities. Yesterday was pajama day. Today is sports day so Payton is wearing her gymnastics leotard over her shirt (with jeans!) How fun!

And I leave you with a video of Reid taken last week. He wasn't in a great mood but I caught him giggling at me and waving for a split second. He has figured out how to manipulate his hands and is learning to wave at people!
