Happy Birthday, Avo!
Today is my Great Great Grandpa's birthday! (I call him Avo beacause it means "grandpa" in Portuguese.) He is my mom's, mom's, mom's dad (phew!). All the old people really liked me. I didn't even have to do anything!

Here I am with Avo...




















and his puppy...















and Avo's wife Sybil...






























And here I am with my Great Grandpa Joe.

Baby Buddies
Each Thursday Mom and I get together with some mom friends and their babies, who are all within a few months of my age. Today we met at our house.

Clockwise from the bottom are me, Noah, Duncan and Payton.















This is Noah and his Mommy, Kim & then Duncan & me in the second picture.

Today I tried rice cereal for the first time...
I liked it!

My Trip to Arizona
We're off to Arizona for a visit with family, a wedding, and for dad to do some work stuff.

Here I am on my very first airplane ride ever! I just sat on mom's lap most the time and even napped a little. Mom and Dad were nervous, but they said I did really well.















Here I am with my cousin, Ryan, who is about a month and a half older than me. Aunt Ursula and Uncle Chris laughed at how big I am in comparison to Ryan!






























I also got to meet my Great Uncle Louie & Great Aunt Dee.















Mom & I went to the mall while dad did work stuff. I loved watching the puppies play in the pet shop window!















Dad and me hanging out in our hotel room... (He's trying to blame his stinky butt on me.)















After some time in the Phoenix area, we drove down to the southern part of Arizona for Uncle Bob & Aunt Denise's wedding.

Here I am with my Grandpa Steve & Grame J...



































...and meeting my Great Grandpa Harry for the first time. The photo below includes 4 generations!















Later during our trip, we drove to the city of Tombstone and watched a live reinactment of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. Besides the blank gunfire startling me, it was pretty cool.












































































































































I caught the flu towards the end of our trip. Mom & Dad were very worried, but they took good care of me. I was better within a few days and was happy to be home again.

I've been throroghly enjoying all my Christmas presents! Here I am in my brand-spankin'-new exersaucer! The purple flower fits so perfectly in my mouth, it's as if it were made for me!

Wii Are Family
Mom & Dad got a Nintendo Wii and made Miis for...

themselves...




















Grammy (Kelly) & Papa Rudy...




















Grandma (Debbie) & Grandpa (Gary)...




















Auntie Quincey & Auntie Audrey...




















and Mii!

Today I Played with the Puppies
I think we have a lot in common. We're all slobbery, overweight, yet super-cute and we experience the world with our mouths.

I'm A Model If You Know What I Mean
Here I am shaking my little tush on the cat walk, modeling some outfits I got for Christmas.

Hello. My name is Reid and this is my journal....
Ma's been lagging on the website updates, so I thought I ought to help out by starting my own journal. My name is Reid Alexander. Here are some quick facts about me as of Jan 07:

I am 4 months and 12 days old.
Screeching & drooling are among my favorite hobbies.
I enjoy play dates, long stroller walks to the park, and women who like big men who screech and drool.
My favorite cocktail is milk... straight up.
