Guess Who is Walking????

I will have to say this is the most excited I have been since the day Reed was born.....He took 11 steps tonight all by himself!!!!! I am so proud of my little man. My wish was for him to walk before his 1st birthday and he did:)The most he has walked is maybe 1 step but not really steady. Well, tonight he took 4 at first and then took 4-5 more. I heard to hold something they like in front of them and see if they will walk to it...He loves my cell phone and it worked. This was the very last video we got and it was by far the best!!! I had given Reed a break to eat a graham cracker cookie and as you can see he took off with his cookie in hand!!! I am sooooo proud of Reed man tonight! What a big boy!!!

Happy Boy with 8 Teeth!!

Reed has 8 teeth already......and is a much happier baby right now. Teething is not too much fun in the Crawford house. Reed cut his first tooth at 3 1/2 months,and has cut 7 more since pretty close together...which can make it hard to sleep at our house. When Reed is not teething, he does sleep.......12 hours!!! Love those nights:) Maybe we will have a break from teething so we can be happy for now! This is about the only picture/video that actually shows his 8 teeth...2 of his teeth are just now showing better...the video was a little bit before they came through. Enjoy!

7 months old

My little man is 7 months old today! I cannot believe it! This is really a fun age but also hard at times. He is teething right now and cutting his 8th tooth!!!! I should buy stock in Tylenol and Motrin b/c that is about the only thing that works at the moment. Usually, oragel and teething tablets help...but not this past weekend.....It was a rough one for mommy and daddy. He was irritable, not sleeping at night, and not really even wanting to nurse. I pray for Reed daily but I also prayed to the Lord to give me strength and patience. I work part time and usually on Monday Reed goes to daycare...Well, I usually love holidays so I can be off but Labor Day rolled around and I will have to admit I wanted to send him to daycare. That is bad,isn't it? I prayed it would get better and guess what Tuesday night he slept 12 hours for me!!! Mommy was so happy the next morning and so was Reed!! Daddy was out of town but he was really thankful too! Daycare said he had a great day today which makes us happy:) Here are a few pics of our little man today on his 7 month birthday:) (They are a little bit dark for some reason)
