Trick or Treat!

Reed's first Halloween has came and went, and I'm pretty sure we had more fun than he did! Wednesday night we did Trunk-or-Treat at church. Since Reed was a Tootsie Roll, I felt it absolutely necessary for all of us to have coordinating costumes. The Martha Stewart in me came out, and instead of the quick, "good enough" mom and dad costumes, I got a little carried away. I just pretended like I had absolutely nothing else that I needed to be doing and happily made our costumes. Friday we went to the neighborhood Halloween party for a little while and handed out candy that night.









Reed's seems to change everyday now. He's trying so hard to roll from his back to his stomach. His bottom arm just gets in his way! His feet are really entertaining to him. He grabs one in each hand and is content to stare and talk to them.







For those who care about his every move(my mom!), I've decided that he needs to start transitioning to a 3 1/2 hour schedule and soon to a 4 hour. I probably should have done this already since for the past couple weeks (since the college retreat weekend) he has been waking about an hour earlier than normal and having shorter naps than normal. It's also time for bedtime to move a little earlier which means I'm going to be stuck at home more at night! Oh, well...the things you do for good sleep!


Oh, yeah. We went to the college group retreat a couple weekends ago, and Reed did great! I really debated whether or not to go with him, but I'm so glad I did. I just stuck to his same schedule and did retreat stuff when it worked out. I've got to brag--Mark organized the retreat and did a great job!

Napping at the retreat...
