Wheeeeee!

Our neighbor has lent us a baby swing which Gerry put up in our back yard. I think Reed likes it!

And for Father's Day, our little guy started saying a-ya-ya-da-da-da. The key part of the phrase, of course, being Dada! We're pretty sure that the whole phrase directly translates to "I love you Daddy" Reed chose a great time to show off his linguistic ability!

Recent adventures

Over Memorial Day weekend, I worked at Brinnon ShrimpFest and since Reed is still nursing, he got to come too. Here he is telling people about Hood Canal and water quality.
Gerry came to help me "baby wrangle" and was a HUGE help! The brown fuzzy thing on Gerry's chest is Reed's hooded head, napping peacefully on Daddy's chest.

There were lots of arms to hold Reed during the day! Here he is with Emily.
The days were a little long, but fortunately we got a great tip to go check out a beautiful waterfall that was close by. It made me antsy to get out and go hiking!!

We took advantage of Gerry's Friday off and went to the Pike Place Market yesterday. It was a great change of pace for all three of us. Reed's been doing more than his usual amount of screaming lately (we think it might be about teeth) but the change of scenery was a great distraction. And the additional bonus is that he slept really well last night. Oh how I love sleep!
