"16" month check-up

This is Reese 'pre-shots' at his 15 month check-up yesterday. I came prepared this time with a sucker and it helped tremendously with the recovery. He weighed 26 lbs and is 32 inches tall. He's still hanging around the 75th percentile for both... not a small child. : )

It was a rough day... Poor little guy crashed hard for a 3 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon, then he got up to play hard with the neighbor kids, came in to eat a bite (barely), and then really crashed hard (no bath, too upset) for the night at 6 pm.

Zoo

This summer we have made several trips to the zoo, a few have been with good friends, Caroline and Zachary. The following pictures are actually from two seperate trips... The ones in the petting zoo are the more recent pictures. The other picture, by the statue, was a seperate trip. We were there again this week with Grandma Ellen, and Reese took his first ride on the carousel. I don't have pictures (Grandma had the camera), but it was one of those moments you're so happy watching their amazement and happiness.

Reese - so not afraid of these guys. He was running after them to pet them and "play". I had to remind him that they are "not like Fred".

Fun times at the park

Reese experienced his first ride on the swings... Obviously he loved it with the looks of his smiles. These pictures were actually taken back in early August, but as usual I'm quite behind on keeping this updated. We've had several trips to the park since these pictures were taken... With the weather we've had lately, we'll be there even more. In fact, we're going tomorrow with some neighbor friends... so maybe I will capture some more smiles!
