Water is so much fun

First - last week Reed officially started walking by himself! He has been able to walk for a while now, but needed someone's finger as comfort. Then, he would actually walk to me from Tyson or vice versa, but to no one else. Then, one day, he just decided to walk all by himself! Yeah for my little man! Back to the original meaning of the post......

Reed LOVES the water! Ever since he was a baby, he has loved bath time and any other opportunity to touch water. So, it should not have come as a surprise to me when we wanted to play in a puddle at our playground. It has been raining a lot here, so we haven't been able to play outside too much = Reed and I are getting cabin fever!

One morning, it was actually NOT raining and the sun was out. So, we took a stroll to the park to see what was going on. I even brought a towel with me because I knew that the slides would probably have water on them. I cleaned off one of the slides, but failed to see the other puddle of water on one of the bigger slides.

Reed had so much fun climbing and walking around, that I didn't notice that he had wandered to the slide with a water puddle in it! Before I could go and wipe it up, the damage was done and Reed was laughing his head off. He splashed his hands in the water, then climbed onto the slide and got the whole front side of himself wet....ah what a good time! He even modeled his "wet" look off to the camera.

Needless to say, when we got home, a new pair of clothes were put on and we stayed inside until after his nap :)

Waving at a passing car


"Ooooh. I hear the birds."

Seeing a dog....

Seeing an airplane.....


Splashing in the puddle.....

Climbing on the slide...that is water on his pants

Reed modeling the wet clothes. Notice his O-shaped mouth - he goes to modeling school for that :) J/K!!!

The wet clothes....the picture does not do it justice.

The second set of clothes for the day...

He does love this shirt!



Reed is walking all by himself!


Puddle playing - always a good time

Hooray for walking! It is such a fun time, a bit sad cause they are clearly growing up, but fun.

My little niece is 3 months younger than Charlie. She has a heart condition and Turner's syndrome so she is itsy bitsy. And Charlie is a big boy!

i am going to have to give it up for vegas, since evyn must be related to reed as she jumps or splashes in every puddle possible, but by the time we actually get home it's dry..i knew there was something good about being the 90's in may.
