Month 8!

The little man is growing...




He has developed reverse gear, but that only backs you into frustrating corners!

No teeth yet, but he is eating "solid" foods. Although if they have any chunky texture he does not like it.

No surprise, but he loves the cell phone and thinks he should start twittering as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he cannot spell.

Huckleberries!

Reid enjoyed sitting in the tall grass while we picked (and ate) huckleberries. Yummy!

Reid 6 months old

Reid just turned 6 months old and is a healthy 16 pounds 15 oz baby.

He loves to explore the world; looking at people, dogs, books, cars, if there is anything to examine he is staring at it. He can now sit up unsupported for a few minutes without falling over.

He enjoys babbling and reaching for toys and books. Even though we read to him often, he enjoys hitting the book with his hands and even chews on the book itself. Reid has rolled over front to back but has only done it once. We loved spending 10 days with Great Grandma Dick and Grandma Janssen! What fun adventures we had in Montana!

We took a boat tour on the Madison River.













We loved having both Great Grandma and Grandma on the tour with us. Matt & Bella joined us too.

Belgrade SK8 Church

Ryan spoke and skated at SK8 Church on Friday eve. On Sunday morning he was sore from head to toe.... Not from the speaking.
