This evening, I felt a molar growing out of Reed’s mouth (which is a little odd given that he only has 7 of his incisors). It got me thinking about how quick he’s growing up these days. He’s 14 months old! I feel like every time I blink, I find that he’s grown so much. [...]
I read a lot of books and got a lot of advice from friends and family members before Reed was born. Some of it was really useful. Some of it wasn’t. Some of it I wish I’d never heard (and some of it scared the crap out of me). But there are some things I [...]
Yes, we’re still alive here at Casa Farkas. I’ve just been so busy with travel, the end of the semester at both of my jobs (which means lots of paper and project grading for the class I teach) and just having fun with my two favorite guys!
Reed celebrated his birthday in Chicago. We spent almost [...]
I’d meant to write a post yesterday about how that date (April 7th) was supposed to have been Reed’s due date last year, but life got in the way (as usual). Fortunately, my fantastic former colleague (who had her daughter a week before Reed was born) wrote about that day one year ago for me [...]
I’ve been remiss in not posting these recent movies of Reed to the blog.
Reed’s new favorite thing is ripping things, especially paper (though he’ll even settle for ripping up old leaves outside). Here’s a movie from the day that we discovered that ripping up a newspaper would send him into new heights of giggling. [...]
Want to see pictures of Reed and read updates about him but you can never remember to check his blog and Flickr? I’ve created a feed that you can subscribe to via email that will update you every time a new picture of Reed has been posted or a blog post has been written. The [...]
Reed turned 10 months old this past Wednesday. It’s hard to believe he’s only two months away from turning one year old! I was going through some of his old stuff as I was reorganizing his memory box and I saw the outfit that he wore home from the hospital. It was SO tiny! I [...]
We had an exciting weekend!
Meredith’s brother Scott and his fiance Miriam came up to visit. It was great seeing Scott again and nice to finally meet Miriam.
They make a cute couple, and boy, Reed went nuts over them. He immediately jumped into their arms and started playing with them like they were long, [...]
Check out these videos of Reed’s amusing new talent. It’s pretty amusing to watch, though less so when he spews a fine mist of yogurt and green beans all over you.
Today is Reed’s 9-month birthday!
Since the last time meredith updated this blog, Reed has crossed a whole bunch of milestones.
He’s learned to crawl properly, a skill he’s using to maximal effect.
He’s also learned to then stand up well (with help), and pull up on just about any object in the house. [...]
