Febuary..and we are walking!

HE'S WALKING!!! Reid started walking last month but it was just a few steps here and there. Now he is walking through the whole house. (he got his first pair of walking shoes this weekend) He can stand from sitting with out holding anything! He is getting to be such a big boy. He has learned to sign "more" and it is the cutest thing. Swim class will end after next week but this week we dunked him 3 times! He is also toothless haha. We are stilling waiting on those! Next month will be busy with birthday planning/1 year photos/and planning for our visitors that will be here in the first week of April. Again...everyone is invited to his party so let me know if you would like to make the trip here. We go to the "soft gym" a couple  times a week and last week no one else was there so I snapped a few shots. Here they are with a few others! Enjoy!!

Sick Family :(

Well, after all that fun we had last week this week not so much. First I didn't feel great and very soon after Reid came down with this nasty cold thing that we have. Today it was Marks turn to have it...ugh. We missed swim class this weekend and stayed in most of the time. We did make it to the soft gym today since mid day Reid was feeling a little better. The upside to Reid being sick is how much he likes to cuddle!! I have gotten extra cuddle time and extra kisses all week! For some reason he has also been sleeping better too!
Hope next week we will have a better update!!
Just before he got sick

Wearing his new outfit from my friend Emily...it's a 12-18 month-looking kinda sick :(

waving!


Home made popsicles....one just water (loves them since he is teething) and the other is pedilyte since he is sick

January Fun Times

A lot has gone on in the last few weeks in the Bauman house! Reid started swim class, took 4 steps, went to the new soft gym, had his first snow, sleeps in his own bed and Grandma Gnatkowski came for a visit!He was a natural at swim class...arms were going a mile a min. We've only gone to one class so far since there was a dusting of snow last weekend and they cancelled class. We are looking forward to next weekend.
We went 2 times to the "soft gym" last weekend with Grandma Gnatkowski. Reid LOVED the slide and ball pit....I think he would have stayed and played all day if we let him!
Reid has officially taken his first steps! He is up to 4 at a time now. He loves to stand up on things and try to walk then....I can see a few bruises in our future :)
Reid is now sleeping in his own bed! First night took 63min and broke my heart....now we are down to less then 5 min. He even naps in his crib...forgot what is was like to have time to clean and relax!
Grandma Gnatkowski came for a few days this weekend. I was nice to have her here and nice to take a shower when ever I wanted haha
AND
Reid now has 2 new buddies in this world...his cousin Owen and his buddy Brenner! My sis-in-law and one of my best friends were both due jan 26....but we got to see both little guys a little early! Congrats to both families....I can't wait to meet them!
As usual a few pics!

Grandma is here!

Reid is 9 months!

Not sure where time has gone but Reid is 9 months old!! He is so getting so big and becoming so smart-he can get into anything! He is a crawling machine. He even took one step but I think it will still be a little bit before he is walking.
We went to his 9 month appt- he is 22.4 pounds (80%) and 29 1/4 inches (just under 90% they said) so he is def. growing! Although he is big his height matches his weight so the doc isn't worried.
Reid has sleeping issues-or maybe I do haha Last night Reid cried it out and slept in his bed for the first time in a while. Tonight we will try try again!
I have started party planning for Reids birthday. I know most of you live far away so I wouldn't expect everyone to come but please let me know if that is something you would be up for!!
Next up for us is Reid starting his swim classes net weekend and we can't wait!I will def be posting some pics of that and we are waiting on Reids new cousin and his new buddy to arrive in the next few weeks! Can't wait to see the babies Shanna and Stacey!!
Grandma Gnatkowski will be visiting soon too!
 I have been really bad about taking photos on the camera and I post/send most from my phone but here are a few from x-mas and some others


9 months old!!

Zoo Lights

This weekend was fun for us....we went to the National Zoo and saw the "zoo lights". They had the zoo decorated in lights and lots of lights in amimal shapes! We even got to see a few animals while we were there. On sat. we got to see Santa! Reid wasn't sure what to make of Santa but he loved sitting on his lap. My normal smiley kid didn't smile for this pic...he wasn't sure what to do when you sit on Santa lap! Next weekend we are off to the ice rink.....I love this time of year! Here are a few pics from this week!
My happy boy!



Marks shaddow lol

Crawling...yes we are!

This week was AWESOME...Reid is crawling! The cutest thing happened. I put Reid in his room   while I ran to my room to change. He gets upset when we leave the room so he started to fuss. I stood in my room and called him until I saw his little head come around the corner....it was one of the cutest thing he has ever done! He is going crazy practing his standing too....he can pull himself up on the couch and gets from one end to the other. He is one strong boy. Maybe he got that from his daddy :) We spent out sunday night getting the decor and tree up so I captured a few photos!
Don't forget about me mommy!



Watching my daddy put up the lights!


Mom- I can help!!


My fav. guys!
