I have a problem - I cannot narrow down these pictures of Reed. So, below - enjoy 17 pictures of slightly different versions of adorable baby Reed. I'm sorry, I know he's mine and I'm biased. But he's- just. so. adorable!!

10 months has flown by. He's SUCH a great sleeper. He might even be a better sleeper than Ian, which I wasn't even sure could be possible. I'm not sure if it's genes, or that I can take any credit for instilling great sleep habits, but it doesn't matter. He's just a good sleeper and I'm so grateful. Sleeps allll they way through the night (has since 9 months - finally!!), naps an hour twice a day (FINALLY more than 30 minutes!), and he's such an independent sleeper. Ian used to cry when I would walk out of the room. He required back rubbing, tip-toeing and a multitude of other tricks. Reed just rolls over and falls asleep, or rolls around till he falls asleep on his own. On our Mexico trip we brought the travel tent for him to sleep in, and I'd just zip it up up and he'd watch me walk out of the room - no problems. With Ian, I'd have to zip that damn thing up so slowly so to not wake him up I hated that darn zipper. Anyways, I'd hate to jinx myself, and I know everything comes and goes in phases, but for now I'm so happy with where we are.

Nothing has changed much. I thought Reed would 100% be walking by now since he was such an early crawler, but he's still cruising on those hands and knees. We practice walking but he usually gets over it and wants to go back down to his knees, and so I figure don't rush it. He loves food and eats a ton. He has his next set of top teeth poking through (you can see in some photos below). He's hardly fussed over this last set of teeth coming in. He's such a happy baby. People always comment on how smiley he is, and he really rarely cries. He only cries when I put him in his car seat (he hates it at first), and when he's tired or hungry. The other night we went to Ikea (to get Ian a BIG BOY twin bed) and kept Reed out later than normal. He cried the way home and it was so odd because he's normally so happy and only gets upset when we push him past his limits. He's started using sign language - milk, and all done, and shakes his head yes and no - it's so cute! We just love him to pieces and the fact that one year is creeping up on us could just bring tears to my eyes!! Time slow down!!!! <3

And now, enjoy this plethora of Reed pictures ;)
