Big Boy Bed!

A Few Pics

so i've gotten very bad at blogging and i must confess that i am considering ending our adventure here online. when i started the blog it was meant to be a place to share our adoption process, keep everyone updated on it's progress and then bring you along with us on our journey to colombia. who knew that it would turn into our story of becoming a family of 4! i've enjoyed the ride, but life is getting crazier and busier and if i'm going to do something, i like to give it my all. i don't want to just post something random once a month or less. thought i would leave you with a few recent pics of the kids. cruz and libby are quickly becoming partners in crime and it's so fun to watch them grow together! as nervous as i was to have them so close in age, think it's going to be pretty amazing. adios for now!

Gotcha Day

february is quite the month for the reedy family. on valentines day we also celebrated cruz's 2nd anniversary of his gotcha day! he proudly wore his colombian soccer jersey (probably one of the last times as he's finally starting to outgrow it...don't worry we have a special request in to our dear friend jose to go on a mission in bogota to find him a new one)to school and we explained to his teachers about his big day. it's so hard to believe that it's already been two years! meeting for the first time: our family of three: father - son bonding time: night one at hotel paris: our little colombian-minnesotan: we are truly blessed!

Tall & Skinny

tall and skinny?! definitely not two words i would have ever thought would be used to describe a child of our's, but that is exactly what our pediatrician said about little miss libby! here are her latest stats from her one-year well-child visit: height: 29", 50th percentile weight: 18 lbs, 14 oz., 10th-25th percentile head: 18.25, 75th-90th percentile the poor girl had to get four shots as well as a finger prick. she did pretty well with the shots, but absolutely hated the finger prick. she was pretty much inconsolable and it didn't help that her finger wouldn't stop bleeding. poor thing!

Libby is One!

where has the time gone? our baby girl turned one last thursday! we had a fun day - she took ice cream birthday treats to school, tore into a cupcake after dinner and had fun celebrating with tia and grandma and grandpa johnson on friday night. cruz loved helping open her presents and especially loved that he got to eat cake, too.

we go in for her one year appointment tomorrow...details & stats to follow! libby, we love you - happy birthday & we hope all your wishes come true!
