Reed's 1st Birthday

We had Reed's first birthday party on Saturday night even though he isn't actually 1 until tomorrow. It was fun, he loved his cake and the weather was absolutely beautiful. He got some cute, cute clothes, some new books, blocks, and a new car, he LOOOOOOVES his new car. He's hilarious these days, has been showing me his true colors. He has a MAJOR temper and his personality is just too funny. Basically, I think he's starting to fight back from the last year of torture by his big brother. Don't cross Reed, you might get smacked......or, he'll just throw his head back, arch his back and give you the most dramatic temper tantrum until you do it "his way". Right now it's kinda cute, but he's definitely gonna keep me on my toes! Not that he'd be any different than his brother! :) Should I be worried that he's barely 1 and already acting like a 2 year old? Seriously, don't you usually get one child that's more mild mannered, easy going than the other? NOT in my case!!! :)

It's quiet in my house right now, we have 7 sleeping children. For anyone who didn't already know, my sister Andrea and I are doing in-home daycare at my house together. It's going well and we enjoy being able to be home with our kids while still being able to bring in some income. Everyday from 1pm - 3pm is a beautiful time! :) All the kids we watch are SO good, and so sweet, we're having a good time.


I'll leave you with some pics from the party........
