Standing Update

It's been a long week already, as I came down with the flu Monday night and Christian was out of town.  While it feels nearly impossible to be able to take care of 2 boys while you're sick yourself, I made it...through good naps and movie days while I laid in bed :)  And thankfully Christian came back last night and was able to take the morning off while I rested.  I wish I could say I'm fully recovered, but I seem to have hit a second wave and am just praying tonight is the last night...

The real reason for this post, however, is to update you on Reid's standing.  It took 3 nights of pretty wakeful nights and 2 nights of one-time putting Reid down.  So, 5 nights total and Reid figured out this whole standing in his crib at night thing.  And with that, he's also been sleeping from about 7pm - 4/5am pretty consistently!!  It took awhile to get there...but ptl I think we're there now. :)

Reid has figured out this week how to get down from a standing position pretty comfortably as well as begun dabbling in "walking".  Ah, will he slow down, ever?  It's not much, by any means, and by walking I simply mean going from one side of his crib to the next side (perpendicularly, not parallel).  But it's glimpses of what's to come in the too distant future, I'm afraid.  We also had to "Reid proof" our tree as well, because he's just too mobile and pulling off ornaments.  Just another experience in the growing of little Reid.  Love this little boy so, so much!!
