I really, really, really wanted to wait until he was one to give his hair the ole chop chop. Don’t ask me why. I think I just feel like haircuts are for big kids, and he is most definitely NOT a big kid yet (in my eyes). But, he was looking pretty shaggy and had horrible adorable bed head every morning, so John and I decided it was time. So, we set…
Okay, you caught me. He was 10 months old a week ago. I’m never very timely with his photos, but at least they get done before it’s the next month! Alex has been pretty busy this month. He took his first steps while John was home for lunch one day, which was so exciting and scary all at the same time! I’m not sure I’m ready to be chasing a walker around…
Happy Tuesday, guys! This past weekend we had some visitors =] Sarah, Jose, and Parker were here for a few days; it was so great to see them! Parker had so much to say and so many smiles for us, we were loving it! Sarah and I got some serious doing nothing time in while planning a failed trip to the thrift store. Of course, Alex decided he wanted to nap for…
A few days ago, our little man took his first steps! He has been standing a lot lately on his own, he seems to really enjoy that independence. He’s been walking with his walking toy (and crashing into everything) and when holding our hands, so John thought he’d do a little experiment on his lunch hour the other day. He set Alex on his feet a little bit in front of himself…
At our last checkup, Alex’s doctor said we needed to start letting him use a spoon and fork to feed himself. I almost laughed, then realized she was being totally serious. Um, a nine month old using a spoon and fork and actually getting food in his pie hole? Don’t think so. Then she mentioned that we could have a spoon and he could have a spoon. Okay. That I can work…
Hello there! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far! I’ve had a super productive weekend. Friday I managed to clean the entire house (my parents are here for the weekend to visit Alex us).<—–This is me qualifying why I cleaned my entire house. Sad? Today, I started my day off with a 7 mile run. It was a little rough for the first 3, but after I got into…
In 2013, I really want to try to take more pictures. I’ve developed a bad habit of forgetting the camera and it needs to stop! We have an awesome camera that we got with some of our wedding money (2 1/2 years ago) and I have yet to learn to use it. It’s shameful, I know. At first, I was just taking a few extra pictures of Alex after his “accomplishment” board…
Merry Christmas from the Reineke Family! I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday season full of family, food and fun! We had a whirlwind of a Christmas this year! It started with a full house here in Oxford when John’s parent’s and sisters (with husbands, boyfriends, kids, and pets) came for the weekend before Christmas. Alex had a blast playing with his cousin Oliver! It was so fun hosting Christmas for…
Don’t judge me. I’m taking a break from watching Twilight (yes, the first one) to update you on Alex’s eating habits. Would you believe me if I told you I had Twilight on repeat for about two months during senior year of college. You should. I wouldn’t lie to you. It’s embarrassing but true! I have to throw Kate, my best friend, under the bus as well. She was in on it.…
For once, I am happy I was late taking the pictures this month because Alex decided to start pulling himself up on his 7 month birthday! I would have missed putting this important milestone on the board, and lets face it, that would have been a tragedy. He is a lean, mean, army crawling machine and is getting into everything! I will say, it is so nice to be able to set…
