Reed wanted to share his cool new truck he designed. He’s started to
build his own things without much, if any assistance. Go go Legos go!

Reed and the Massey-Ferguson
Originally uploaded by hirbyfam
Reed visited the flower show with Grammy and Babbo last week. There was this cool old tractor there. He is getting so big, cooperative, and helpful with his baby brother. And the exciting news is that he can sound out many simple words! We go to the library every week to explore new books. Most of them about tractors.

Oliver in Pat’s Arms

Here is our sweet Oliver. He’s becoming aware of his hands, talks a lot, and is really close to laughing, too. He’s a wonderful little guy, happy and cuddly most of the time. When he gets mad, though, watch out!

Oliver at Three Weeks
Originally uploaded by troelby
Hard to believe it’s been three whole weeks already, but our new
little guy sure is changing and getting bigger. He’s opening his eyes
more and starting to develop some patterns, including only a single
waking last night! (We’re wise enough to know that won’t last). Thanks
to everyone for your well wishes. We hope your Winter celebrations are
merry and bright. - Troelbys

Eating the Alphabet

Grammy recently gave Reed a great book that shows all sorts of fruits
and veggies with their initial letters. So, Reed and Ben went to Whole
Foods to see what we could find: mango, pomegranate, Zante currants,
kumquats, dates, and quince paste!

While he was getting his hearing screened, he also was able to solve a few future crimes, and communicate vital information to the rest of the rebels within the Matrix.

All is well here. Sage is recovering much better than the first go-round, the new little guy (yet to be named) is sleeping, eating, pooping, and screaming like a champ. Gerri, Pat and Steve have been a great presence and much help already. Reed, when making a wish at a fountain in the hospital, wished “that little brother grows up fast so I can play with him.” More pics at Flickr, and on Facebook. Not so fast little guy, not so fast. Love, Sage, Ben, and Reed.
