The past 2 weeks as a family of four

Here's a post to catch everyone up on what's been going on with our expanded family.

Here is Baby Reed's first trip home.
Aunt Wendy and Baby Reed.
The Blackman boys and their Batman shirts. I'm pretty sure that Baby Reed will be a super hero too.
Daddy and his expanding entourage.
Baby Reed's first swing.
Baby Reed's first bath.
Little froggie survived his bath, though he wasn't very happy.
Getting Ready for Christmas, Santa Baby!
First nap in the bassinet.
Lots of sweet kisses from Mommy.
Green Lantern brought special rings for Dad and I. Being a big brother has it's benefits. Thanks Green Lantern.
First car ride with the whole family. Notice the blue Green Lantern ring in hand.
First breakfast out at Bayley's Cafe.
Playing with Pop Pop.
Being silly.
Playing Green Lantern rings with Dad.
Cool dudes and their cool rings.
Eating Batman pancakes. Hanging with Mom and Baby Reed.
Baking cookies and getting ready to wrap presents.
Getting the cookies all ready for the oven.
All done cooking and ready for a taste test.....they were delicious.
Helping Grammie wrap presents to donate to kids in need.
Reed being lazy while I cook and wrap presents.
First stroller ride. Can you find Rusty, he was walking with us too.
We made it about three houses and my power wheel ran out of juice, so we turned around. I helped push Baby Reed home.
Reed's first unofficial birthday....he's the big one week old.
Reed's first time in his crib for a nap.
Reed's first time in his crib swaddled for night time.
Smiles for Baby Reed.
Decorating for Christmas.
Putting the first ornament on the tree.
I found Mom's santa hat.
Reading the first Christmas story of the season.
Putting up the elf decorations.
Daddy and I went to the comic book store to buy our matching Green Lantern rings...that way Reed and Mom can have our blue and orange rings.
Yeah, everyone has a ring now.
Mom went to Susan and David's engagement party and Dad had his first full night of watching Reed and I. We all survived though I think Dad was pretty tired.

Walking around the neighborhood collecting leaves. I love Fall.
Racing Dad back to the house.
Sleepy Reed.
Sweet smiles from Dad and Reed.
Whoa, that's a lot of memories in just two weeks. We love having you home with us Reed. Happy two week birthday!!
