Training plan: eat right, hydrate, and chase a newly mobile infant. Whew!
That's right friends, the peanut has learned to crawl..... backwards at least.
It's quite amazing how much ground a 13 pound girl can cover going backwards / rolling in just a few minutes. Perhaps walking is overrated after all.... One of her latest discoveries is the couch. The 1990s fabric has an interesting texture, and an approximately 2 inch gap beneath it which E likes to shove her arms in. We've looked and looked, and other than dust and inevitably some hair, there's nothing under there for her to grab. Maybe it's just the excitement of reaching?
One recent venture took us to the hallway.... here is what she found:
Who needs toys??
Just in case you haven't seen it all over facebook, we've entered E into a "cutest baby" contest. the winners get a trip to NYC for a cover shoot for this magazine, and a scholarship prize. Help us win! (since we all know there's never been a cuter little girl) . You can vote daily, check out: http://photos.parents.com/category/vote/photo/1442322?esrc=nwphotofaves_abyccfy13
Other news, Jarrod is taking midterms this week. I am so proud of him and how hard he has worked this semester. He's ahead in his reading schedule, learning a ton and has been around so much! E and I are definitely blessed to have such an awesome man in our lives. This next week is fall break, aka start-working-on-your-huge-papers week. He's started a computer training gig on the side, Get Geeked. And, as a true "geek", he now carries his business cards everywhere, want one????
Last weekend we attended a marriage conference at our church, Dr. Danny Akin spoke. It was fantastic, and funny, as all good marriage conferences should be. I praise God for the godly men He has raised up in the SBC to lead our seminaries and churches, men who keep Jesus in the focus and remind us to have fun with our families, all to the glory of God.
We've become Costco members. (What good Reeds aren't??) Even Eliaya had a good time walking around the warehouse and partaking in the ENORMOUS amount of free samples. Perhaps the coolest event of the day was all the freebee's we got sent home with: water, batteries, granola bars, and a chicken. This is, most definitely, my favorite picture of Eliaya... pretty much ever. You can bet this will make it's debut at her wedding someday :)
hahahahaha.... ok, ok, catch my breath... whew..... best face ever. I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.
Well, nap time is quickly ending and the laundry is beckoning.... Thanks for checking in. Have a blessed day!
Love,
the Reeds
