It's been way too long since I've posted anything here so here is a brief update on life in Berkeley with our almost two-year-old.
Reed is still as curious and sweet as always, but he is also definitely a toddler.
His most used words (aside from mama and papi) are: "mine", "no", "maya", "buh" for book, "ousai" for outside, "agua or wasa" for water, "hunny" for hungry, "mo" for more, "bie" for bike.
He is testing his and our limits all the time. This means: jumping off higher and higher objects, running confidently, walking toward the street until one of us yells stop, dipping one foot off the curb to see what we do, climbing on anything that resembles a ladder (this can include bookshelves, stairs, and actual ladders), jumping on and off of furniture, selecting books carefully and often choosing the same book over and over and over, pouring and spilling water whenever and wherever possible.
Okay gotta run, Reed's awake but here are a few pictures from a recent day at the botanical gardens and Tilden little farm.
