Last week my in-laws and two oldest nieces drove from Texas for a visit. We kept them very busy. During their visit we went to the bounce place, the pool, the bowling alley, Manassas battlefield, and church. It was nice to see them all and especially nice to have the extra hands to entertain the older kids and pass Reid around in the evening when he was fussy. My MIL was great at making dinner while she was here and I even got to eat a few meals with my family without holding a baby!
Hard to believe but Reid is a month old now. He is sleeping and eating great with only occasional issues. Kennedy is loving on him every chance she gets. Anderson is too rough with Reid, but does love on him quite a bit. This week I learned that Anderson could not be trusted alone with Reid. I left Reid on the ottoman by the couch and took the laundry basket upstairs. I came back down to find Anderson holding Reid by the neck across the living room. Anderson was hugging Reid's head against his chest, but Reid's body was just dangling. Anderson dropped Reid as soon as he saw me come around the corner. Reid was fine after some cuddling with Mom and a paci. Anderson and I had a long talk about not picking the baby up. That was my adrenaline rush for the week. I cried several times that day thinking about what could have happened. But I am sure this is not the last time that Anderson will do something to Reid to make him scream!
Took Reid to his 1 month check up this morning. He weighs 9 pounds 14 ounces (50%). He is 23 inches long (93%). His head was 15 inches (50%).
And now for pictures...

i had a very similar scare when Simon was a baby... when i left the room he was on the floor and when i came back a minute later, he was on the couch. how in the world Rachel got him there, i can only shiver to think. and i, too, cried about what could have happened. oh how God protects us! i'm so glad you all are doing well and that you had some "down" time with family. your kids are beautiful! :)
Almost 10 pounds! I'm anxious to see how much Brooke weighs tomorrow. Brooke slept 6 hours last night so I guess Reid had a talk with her yesterday:)
