Instead, he does the scooch – one leg forward, one leg back, paddling with the left hand, and kicking with the right leg. He is actually very proficient on grass, carpet, and even concrete (though we don’t let him do that too long, or the left cheek of his pants will get worn out too fast). Also, compared to other kids that crawl, he’s usually faster :) .

But when I put on some Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, his head just doesn’t stop mov’in while he’s groov’in.

I don’t know if anyone did the “red-belly” torture to your siblings, but Reid does it to himself. I think he’s conditioning for future rough-housing.

It was a ton of fun, and it gave me a chance to throw the kids around a little – every Dad needs that :D .

Better late than never….HAPPY 1st BDAY Reid!!!! As of June 4th, we officially have the cutest one year old. :) Reid is our happy, energetic little man. He is a scooting maniac. I don’t think he is ever going to do a conventional crawl. Instead he scoots on his bottom-we have a video of it which will be posted soon. We’re still a ways off from walking, although he loves to hold your fingers and walk all over the place!

Reid loves his big brother and will smile and laugh at pretty much anything Mason does. Other favs of his are yogurt, eggs, music, and being outside. He says momma, dadda, uh oh, and hello. He also waves to anyone and will sometimes blow kisses. He LOVES to give real kisses and hugs and is SUPER affectionate. Reid weighs 21 lbs (only 3 lbs shy of his older brother) and is a very healthy, active little man. He is very opinionated and has no problem letting you know if he is not happy with whatever you might be doing. Also coming soon is a video of us singing to Reid on his birthday. He, like Mason, wanted nothing to do with getting dirty with his cake. We have boys who like to stay clean (wonder how long that will be true?). HAPPY BIRTHDAY REID!!

Then there’s some dance time.

Since Mason is so in to Thomas the train, I found that getting him to brush his teeth was much easier if he rode the toothbrush train (my back while making choo choo sounds with one stop at the tooth brush station). Here is Mason’s version of the tooth brush train.

Well heck, even a 27 year old loves the forklift. This was another adventure Mason got to have with Papa down in Florida.

Mason is such a riot and never does what you’d expect he would. This was a short vacation to Florida with the Hoggatts, and even though it is Florida, January isn’t necessarily warm. The pool was hanging around 56 deg. That’s as cold as cave water if you’ve ever had the chance to take a dip.

The boys loved Easter – and they’re so adorable in their little sweater vests. Since Diane doesn’t have a little girl to dress up like a doll, she enjoys getting the boys dressed up for these occasions.

And yes, Mason likes girls and isn’t afraid of cooties.
