Family

Here are some random pcitures of our little family. Derrick has just been in his second semester for about a month now and is currently taking his first test of the Semester. Good luck honey!! He has been doing really well and he will start an 8 week internship after this semester is over in October. He is so excited for the internship part and getting back into a clinic and they recently switched his site to an orthopedic clinic which he is excited about. That is where his interest lies.

Here is Reido sitting with his daddy.If you cant tell by the look on his face he loves his daddy!
This is a picture of Avarie and Reid as you can tell. She loves her brother and he adores her. It is so cute. She always wants to hold him and is the first in his room when he wakes up from his nap.

Here is a funny conversation Avarie had with her dad last night it was pretty cute.
After struggling for 2 hours to get her to sleep and her coming out of her room a couple of times we shut her door to her room as the consequence for coming out of her room and not listening. she had been screaming for about 5-10 minutes after we had shut it before Derrick went into talk to her. We knew she hated having the door shut, but aparently we weren't understanding the reason why until now. Here is the conversation that followed:

Derrick: "Why are you screaming?"

Avarie: "Door Open Daddy!"

Derrick: "Why do you want the door open?"

Avarie: "Want door open."

Derrick: "But why do you want the door open?"

Avarie: "Hear Reido room." (she calles her brother Reido)

Derrick: " You want to be able to hear Reid in his room?"

Avarie: "Yeah! Want Reido."

Derrick then had to explain to her that mommy and daddy listen for Reid and we will take care of him during the night. It was just so sweet that she loves her brother that much.

Avarie's First Real Bike Ride

Avarie had her first bike riding lesson this week. She had so much fun. The only thing we really practiced was steering. We figured it was better to start there then on pedaling because we didn't want her to get going and then run herself into something. She was so cute and got pretty good at steering. It was so cute.

Here is just a really funny picture I took of her talking to my mom one day. She was telling her about the book. It was so funny!

5 Months Old

Reid is now 5 months old as of Tuesday this week. He is still growing like crazy. He is so smiley and snuggly. It is so much fun. He is starting to try to sit up and can sit up for about 20 to 30 seconds at a time on his own. He has the strength to hold himself fron to back but if he looks to the side he falls over, but he is getting there. Here are some cute pictures of him that I have taken this week. He loves tummy time now and is trying to scoot forward to get things while he is on his stomach. He is also very talkative and coos and babbles all day. He is just so much fun!!
