Our girl is officially crawling as of today. Gone are the days of staying where I put her! I'm tired just thinking about all the chasing I'm going to be doing. Seriously. I don't know who is more proud of her crawling-- Clare or Reed. He encourages her and claps for her! (Until she aims herself at something of his, then it's "No, No, Clare.")

Reed has been a book maniac this summer. We read no less than 30 minutes a day- sometimes 90 minutes. Every week we've redeemed our reading list at Half Price Books for a $3 certificate that has turned into about a dozen free books so far. His reading list at the library earned him a free book and several coupons for fun treats around town.
