Go, Banana!

Just a cute video of Reece from today. I'll try to get more good pics of his radical mohawk. It's seriously two inches tall and totally natural. A lot of babies have to spend hours grooming to get that kind of killer hairdo. Not our baby. His hair just screams for attention, and oftentimes so does Reece. Usually, thank goodness, he is less likely to scream than to just stare people down until they fawn over him.




Here he is talking to Grandma Nancy on the phone. He always gets this look when he's on the phone, though he rarely makes a sound. You can also kinda see the mohawk here.



Reece loves loves loves Teddy Bear's Picnic (the original song, not the Internet Sensation version). It somehow ended up being his bedtime book/song. He gets so excited when we start to sing (Paul includes an opening fanfare each night so Reece starts flapping his arms and squealing when he hears the drumroll) and it is pretty much the only book that Reece doesn't try to eat as soon as he sees it. It's even worked as a calming ploy when we try to actually get him to sleep. He'll cuddle with his book. The book could be a bit more cuddly in return, but I'm sure with enough drool it'll end up nice and soft soon enough. For this video, I left Reece sitting in the middle of the bed, the book out of reach (I thought) and closed, and I came back to find him doing a little light reading.

Lil Reece man is adorable! It's a relief to see you finally got him a crib :) I knew you had a brain child, but to have the brain of a 13-year-old at this age, impressive!!

With Paul as a father there was no doubt your kid would be smart....and I am assuming if he married you Wendy you MUST be smart, and my guess is you're smarter than Paul, and my guess is that at times he would agree...so of course Reece is a brain child...

He is also the cutest kid I think I have seen. :) So happy to read your blog. PAUL...it has simply been too long since DT those many many years ago...

Wow...I can't get over how awesome that hairdo is. I mean, I knew this kid had to be awesome to be born to Wendy and Paul, but dang. Wow. And he's so smart, too. I'm floored.

What a cutie! I think we seriously need to set up our kids in 16 years! ;-)

I want videos of this Teddy Bear picnic rock and roll song you and Paul break out every night...anything that starts out with a title sequence and a drumroll has to be pretty amazing!
