Reid enjoys walking up to people and asking, "What are you doing, Mommy?" (or Daddy or Harper or whoever she happens to be talking to.) She has the sweetest little soft voice. This morning, she asked me her usual, "what are you doing, mommy?" and I told her that I was washing dishes (what else is new?) and I asked her, "what are you doing, Reid?" and she replied, "I'm biting a pancake with my mouth."
She is absorbing everything around her these days. She can recognize colors and know the Spanish names as well as English. She knows many of her letters, thanks to big sister, who likes to play school with her. She is feisty but sweet and has a big personality. She likes to pretend to be different animals, she likes to make animal noises and tell us she's "Reid the tiger!" She loves looking through books and will entertain herself by sitting on her floor and tearing apart her bookshelf. She and Harper are best friends, most of the time. She is very girly and insists on wearing a dress daily, which is in contrast to her sister at this age- Harper would only wear the same octopus t-shirt everyday. Again, I think it's the influence of big sister, who also likes to wear dresses. Her other best friend is a little boy named Aiden who we met through our play group. Aiden is less than two weeks older than her. Reid is louder than her sister was, I'm sure it has everything to do with having to compete to be heard.
She is still nursing. I would like to be done but she screams, "I need it!" and wins me over. I feel like you hear so much about people with trouble getting their babies to nurse, I have the opposite problem: my girls never want to stop nursing. I hope bribery starts to work on her within the next few months and we can work out a deal. So far, I've offered her a doll, money, cookies, lollipops, a milkshake .... right now nothing is better than nursing.
