The Estrada's: Ready for Summer!

We had a few weeks of gorgeous weather and it has made me so ready for summer. We definitely took advantage of the warm weather. Going to various parks, the beach, and Palm Desert. Reid also had his one year check-up (we had to postpone it because he most likely got RSV and needed to wait until he was well) which went great! He is 23 lbs. 2oz. (50%) and 31.1 inches (80%)...growing and a bit on the tall side. Here is what's new with Reid since the last post...

Took about 8 steps on his own, but would rather crawl extremely fast or have us hold his left hand (he will not walk if you hold his right)
No more bottles
Whole milk...no more formula =)
Drinks out of a straw cup
Eats what we eat...no more baby food
Talks A LOT, mostly gibber gabber that is very intentional, but says momma and dadda...some other words he has said...thanks, side (outside), uh, oh, yeah...can't think of anymore right now. He continues to crack us up with all of his talking.
Makes the noises for an elephant, car/truck, ambulance/fire truck, lion, and dog
Mimics everything we do
Has seven teeth
Becoming more sensitive (hysterically cried each time I got dunked in our school dunk tank while my mom was watching him)
Definitely tells us when he doesn't want to leave a fun place or isn't happy...arching of the back has begun
Loves playing in the sand and pool (especially with his cousins)

Reid is really an awesome toddler! He is so much fun to be around and has such a great personality. I truly cherish my Thursday's and Friday's with him just being Mommy and of course all the other days!
