Reid-isms

I have been terrible about blogging lately, which is unfortunate because I really do enjoy it!  I realized the other day that I need to start writing down the funny things that Reid has been saying lately.  He constantly cracks me up, and I forget what he says so easily if I don't write it down immediately.  Here are a few things he's said lately:

"Are you sinking what I'm sinking?"  (Are you thinking what I'm thinking?)

**********************************************

One day I said to Reese and Ryan, "Hey, guys--let's talk about a plan."
Reid said, "Wet's spwit up and wook for cwues!"  (Let's split up and look for clues!) 

**********************************************

Other lines he's taken from "Scooby Doo" are:

"Mind meld!"

"It's da woodsman!  He's real!  Run!"

**********************************************

I was talking to Reid about having to go to the doctor, and he said, "I go to da doctor and get some shoots!"

***********************************************

Reid will occasionally salute and say, "Aye-aye, Captain!" 

***********************************************

Joel brought Reid downstairs one morning and handed Reid to me so we could cuddle.  Reid put his head on my shoulder for about 20 seconds, and then he picked his head up and looked at me.  He asked me, "Do you wanna see my be-wee button?"  

I said, "Yes!  How did you know that I wanted to see your belly button?!"

He then lifted up his shirt to show it to me, and we both had a good belly laugh.  Get it?  Belly laugh??

************************************************

"Sure."  That's Reid's number one response lately.  It can either be said with excitement as in "Sure!" but can also be said with a shrug of the shoulders like, "Sure."  Here are some examples:

"Reid, do you want some chocolate milk?"  "Sure!"
"Reid, did you have a great time at the pool?"  "Sure."

"Reid, do like Scooby Doo?"  "Sure!" 

Of course he doesn't agree with everything.  I recently asked him for a hug and he said, "No, danks."

*************************************************

Reid cannot make the "l" sound and instead pronounces it like a "y."  Examples:

"I yove you." 

"I hurt my yeg."

"Yet's go!"

"I yike it!"

"Just a yittle bit?"

"I need to yick it!"

*************************************************

Lately Reid is becoming more assertive.  His recent phrases are: "I quit it!" and "I outta here!"  It's hard not to laugh when he says these phrases--especially when he's strapped into his carseat.  It's not like he can go anywhere...

*************************************************

I'm sure there are countless others that I'm forgetting about, so I'll have to come back and add to this list as I remember more.  ;)  We yove our yittle Reid!

Holly's Bridal Shower

On Saturday, March 23rd, we invited some of the dearest ladies in Holly's life to celebrate her upcoming marriage.  We showered her with lots of love, laughter, and--of course--the essential gifts to make her house a home.

This cake was just as delicious as it looks!

The beautiful bride-to-be.

Katie, Holly's future sister-in-law.  We love her so much!

This plate was given to Grandma Young on her wedding day, almost 60 years ago.  She wrote Holly a sweet note saying that now she was giving it to her for her wedding day.  It made everyone a little teary-eyed!

Some of the special ladies included:

Sarah, Colleen, and Sarah

Kelly and Patti

Shannon (with Corban) and Kristy

Brian's grandma, Chris, and Brian's mother, Mary.  These wonderful ladies came all the way from New York to show their support for Holly and Brian.  

Megan and Aunt Debbie

Debbie and Cheryl

Karan and Mom

Faith and Dale

I love my mom's face when she realized Holly got a Dyson.  :)  That lady loves her vacuums!  :)

We are counting down the days until the big wedding!
