Elephant Obsession!

I have heard many Mommy friends say that their child loves laying on their changing pad, but I don't think I have ever seen anything like Graham. Graham is OBSESSED with the elephant painting that hangs over the dresser where his changing pad is. As soon as we lay him down his eyes automatically lock on the elephant and the smiles and stories (talking) begin! It is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

After 5 minutes of trying to get him to look at me I was finally able to capture one of those PRECIOUS smiles that the elephant gets multiple times a day!
Who couldn't love this face?


SO HAPPY!

Just for fun I put him over in the chair, he is getting so strong sitting by himself for longer periods of time without falling over.

Even pulling away from the chair to sit up.

Big Brother came in and wanted to join in the picture fun! Graham wasn't to happy about it at first.At least one of them is smiling! My 2 baby boys, couldn't love them more! And we are back to the elephant....not kidding he is obsessed! :)

Let the Birthday Parties Begin!

Reed's class at school ranges in age from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, what this means is everyone is turning 3 at the same time (at least it feels like that)! We have had 2 parties so far and 2 more to go that we have invitations for next weekend.

The first party was for twins in Reed's class at the Little Gym. Here is Hulse and Olivia, two of Reed's best friends. From what I understand Hulse and Reed are inseparable at school and Olivia was the first little girl I saw Reed kiss!Balancing on the balance beam!
Swinging on the bars!Reed with the birthday twins! Its so fun to see him with the kiddos he spends every day with. Getting ready to jump! All the kids lay down on the big jump pad while they blow it up. Jump time!


Next up, introduction time. All the kids sat in a circle and waited for their names to be called. Once their name was called they got to do a trick! Reed just stood in the middle and jumped, then he decided to a running flip like Hulse had done. Daddy stayed home with Graham, so Reed and I had fun, just the 2 of us. Bubbles & ball time
Reed & Olivia
Cake time! The theme was Toy Story and the cake was a rocket ship and they had alien cupcakes!
Reed LOVES cake! Funny story....all the cake got passed out and then they started passing out the cupcakes. The little girl beside Reed got a cupcake and Reed threw a fit for one. I told him he already had a piece of cake and tried to explain it was the same thing. Of course he wasn't having it, and the little girl wasn't eating the cupcake so her Mom cut it in half and gave it to Reed.
So there he sat with a big piece of cake and 1/2 a cupcake!
And he ate.....and ate....and ate....until every party guest was gone! :) I told you this kid loves cake, he was determined to eat every bite! All I could was laugh and just let him keep eating! He was SO serious and didn't care at all that he was the only one still sitting down!
