Update (There are too many of these lately!)

Please excuse my absence from the blog this week! This is Chris' last week before starting work, so we have been busy doing stuff around the house, house hunting and just hanging out together. Reed and I are going to be very sad next week when Chris goes back to work, but it has been so great to have him home with us the past few weeks!

Since my last post, we have been on the move....

We headed home on Saturday to visit with my family and Chris' family for the weekend. We decided to attach Reed's new caterpillar to his car seat on the ride home and he loved it so much that he fell asleep like this.

So sweet!

In addition to getting to see our families, we also headed home to celebrate Gavin's birthday with him at his bowling party. I am a terrible bowler, Chris, Mike and Jared will vouch for this, but I had fun nonetheless. Check out some pictures below from the party.

The birthday boy bowling!

Happy Birthday Gav!

Reed thoroughly enjoyed the party.

On Tuesday, we met our friend Kim and her daughter Natalie at the Georgia Aquarium. Reed just stared at all the fish. It was so cute! We ended up purchasing an annual pass, so I know that we will be making many trips back this year. I am sure Reed will love it even more as he gets older.

This past week we also gave Reed his first solid food that wasn't bland rice cereal. We gave him green beans on Monday and he liked those oh so much better than the cereal. Then, we gave him sweet potatoes last night and he ate every bite that we put in his bowl. Sweet potatoes have to be his favorite food at this point, you know, other than milk!

"Give me more!"

He learned to smack his lips this week. He only does it every now and then, but he started it while Chris and I were eating breakfast in front of him. So cute!

And, here's Reed showing off his dramatic side!

"I'm so exhausted!"

But oh so precious!
