Food Firsts: Since Reed has pretty much tried every baby food ever made we have started to get a little brave with what we let him try. We are probably way behind due to my paranoia with him choking but we are getting there. On Sunday, we went to grab lunch after church and Reed had his first taste of a pickle. He is definitely my child because he didn't make the first facial expression that it was bitter or sour. He makes worse faces with his first taste of squash, lol! On Monday, we met Chris for lunch and Reed had another little taste of pickle and then a lick of chocolate ice cream. He sure did smack his lips over that. Another indication that he is my child. At dinner on Saturday night with my parents and brother, Reed took a lick of a lemon. Again, no bitter, sour face from him. He just wanted more! He also had a few licks of a cherry chewy sweet tart, yummy!
Movement Firsts: On Monday evening when Chris and I were sitting on opposite ends of the couch, Reed decided that walking might just be better than crawling between us. He started cruising for the first time that night while holding on to the couch. Needless to say, he is becoming more confident each day with his walking abilities. Just today, his Aunt Elizabeth stood him up by himself and he actually took a small step. Wow, this kid has got to slow down!
Ouchie First....and hopefully last: The absolute worst possible first of the week......Reed got stung by a wasp on Friday night while we were at our nephew's baseball game. OUCH!!!! The wasp was flying around us and as we were trying to swat it away and it lit on Reed's arm. I guess that wasp decided to show us. We swatted it away and I was hoping and praying that it didn't sting him but then the wailing began. Poor baby! I know it had to hurt so bad. I can't even recall if I have ever been stung by a wasp. Thankfully, there was a nurse at the baseball game who reassured us that any allergic reaction would take place within the first five minutes, so we were in the clear by the time we talked to her. Phew, relief! Cousin Barbara got Reed some water to drink and to pour on his arm and he was back to his happy self in no time, probably sooner than Chris and I were back to ourselves. It was just terrible to see our baby in so much pain. We never thought that anything could top his surgery, but this was pretty traumatic. Hopefully, it will never happen again.
Look at that boo boo! Stupid wasp!
Reed and Nonnie, thanks for helping take care of me after my sting!
