OH REED!

Reed still loves bananas, but he now has a new obsession that is quickly taking over the banana's 1st place ranking.

Oranges. Not just any old oranges, clementines.

He loves them so much that he'll ask for them AT LEAST 20 times a day. When we decided that 4 a day was plenty for a one year old, that wasn't good enough for him. He quickly realized how to open the refrigerator and get the oranges out himself. He then proceeds to bite the skin to peel it.

So, we have resorted to locking the refrigerator. He has messed with this lock all day long. He's pulled it and bent it, and tugged at it and has been unsuccessful at retrieving his orange.

So today I find him with a stepstool, trying to unlock the water and ice. For several months this has been another fascination. Pushing the lever so ice cold water goes streaming down his arm and all over the floor.

Here his giving one last try at picking the lock:

He's going to be a genius at technical stuff like his dad! Thank goodness your so good at blogging so I don't feel like I miss everything. I want to munch on him. I couldn't believe how many duplicate Christmas presents we got our girls, there's at least 3 gifts that Sofie got that I got my twins. Miss you!!

I love him!

So much vitamin C!! He may be sneaky, but at least he won't catch a winter cold.

I can't believe the big boy things he is starting to do. I wish I got as excited about fruit as that boy does.

I can't believe Reed is obsessed with fruit----I thought it would be Sofie. Oh--wait a minute.

At least he is sneaking into the oranges & not something more serious like the chocolate stash...

I love that he loves fruit. Next thing you know, he'll be hiding broccoli under his pillow.
