Happy Friday!

Reid can get up on all fours, hands and knees, but still hasn't figured out how to coordinate everything at the same time. Even though he is not fully crawling you would think he is , because as soon as I turn my head he is behind the chair, tearing up the fern, eating stuff that's not suppose to be eaten....... and so on. Obie tries to keep tabs on him, but even he gets tired!

Lately Reid's hand eye coordination has really improved. The Pediatrician recommended to start giving him peas and other small pieces of food to practice picking up things with his thumb and forefinger and taking it to his mouth. At first he might have gotten one pea of 20 in his mouth earlier in the week, now he is about 15/20! I cut up some kiwi and he was even able to get a couple of pieces in his mouth too. Kiwi is very slimy, so that was more difficult than peas and cheerios. Andy and I just sit in amazement at how each day he improves his coordination. He is like our little test subject! As Reid gets better at eating, he is making his big brother mad, less food on the floor to clean up after.

So far it looks as though he may be left handed, 90% of the time he uses his left hand to eat, occasionally he will pick up food with his right, but transfers it over to the left to place in his mouth. My mom is left handed, although she does a lot with her right and Andy is the same way, he is ambidextrous, and easily switches back and forth.

Here are some pictures of his bath time, which he LOVES! Andy calls this his "cape". Last week Reid had is fist underwater experience and since then, he is a lot more courageous in the bathtub. He came up from the water with a big smile on his face and kept trying to stink his face back in. Here he is trying to kiss the tub! He is into the kissing and biting stage, so watch out when you visit, you might think he is coming in for a sweet kiss then bam, those teeth come out! He is getting his top two front teeth, so soon he will have four teeth! Hopefully, he will not bite his mommy, (the hand the feeds him)!!!!
