Happy Golden Birthday, Reid!

Reid will always be the happiest way to begin a new year. 

Being due in late December I thought for sure I’d have a Christmastime baby. But no, Reid had other plans and laid his mark on a different holiday – New Year’s Day! And that means this year, his first birthday, is his golden birthday! Reid turned 1 on January 1st and we count ourselves so blessed to have him in our family!

We celebrated with a snow themed birthday brunch, a winter one-derland, in honor of our sweet boy. It snowed. Reid ate breakfast casserole and tore tissue paper from his gifts. We found a secondhand PlasmaCar that I think he’ll grow to love over the next year and we got him a fabulous toddler Tula because backpacking around is his favorite.

As with all my babies, I cannot believe another year has passed. Here’s a whole snapshot of Reid week by week! He’s such a little love! Seriously, this little boy is the definition of baby fever, lol!

At 1 year old Reid …

  • Weighs 28 pounds, 3 ounces and is 34 inches tall
  • Loves brushing his teeth, taking baths, climbing the stairs, and eating crunchy snacks
  • Sleeps almost 12 hours a night with 1-2 wake ups for a nurse or snuggle and naps once a day for about 2 hours snuggled between Max and I (family naps are how we roll!)
  • Nurses 3-4 times a day
  • Can say “mama” and “dada” and all sorts of babbling
  • Just learned how to wave
  • Has traveled a whole lot – to Yellowstone and Disneyland while I was pregnant and to Texas and Disneyland during his first year of life
  • Has no interest in walking
  • Is known as the happiest chill baby around

Happy birthday, Reid Rainier! Time better slow down because I’m not ready for you to inch towards 2!

    Plasma Cars are awesome! We bought one for Hunter a few years ago and he still loves it. The wheels can get stuck and stop rotating so keep your eyes out for that glitch. We call ours the Speedracer. :)
