Sibling Bathtime

Ryker has finally gotten over his longtime fear of baths and now really enjoys them!




But he was awfully happy to be done too.






Kynzie got to play more after her brother got out. "I'm gonna lay down", she said.

Dying Easter Eggs

This was the first year we colored eggs with Kynzie and she was so so excited.






Daddy had to show her how to put the eggs in the dye cup.





She got to put stickers on some eggs....





But then she decided she wanted to dye another one.

Silly Mommy & Kynzie

Vegetable Baby

Ryker sure loves his vegetables, and this fresh artichoke heart was no exception!

Messy Oreo Boy

Ryker made a GIANT mess of himself eating a single Oreo cookie.

Stylish Kynzie

She picked (almost) this entire outfit.

"Adjusted Birthday"

Since Ryker was too little to enjoy cake and presents on his actual birthday, we celebrated the anniversary of the day he came home, which was also his due date, or "adjusted birthday" in preemie terms.

Grandma gave Ryker a really neat ball.




Kynzie thought she should help open presents.




Ryker was intrigued by his new push/riding toy.




He decided this box would be a good chair.



At first he wasn't quite sure what to do with his cupcake....



But he figured it out pretty quickly!

Ryker Outside

Silly boy that he is, Ryker wouldn't get off the blanket. I don't think he much cared for the feeling of the grass on his hands.

All Dressed!

Kynzie overheard me talking about going to the beach (a trip we're planning for summer) and decided she wanted to go. She came downstairs all "dressed" and proclaimed that she was ready to go to the beach.

"Mommy, I'm all ready to go to the beach! I have on my bathing suit, panties and my hat!" she excitedly said.

Lunch Time

Kynzie couldn't have possibly been satisfied with just one dip selection...


Ryker loves chicken nuggets! Taking after his big sister, he was taking one bite of each one.

Funny how they both have almost the same expression.

Sink Bath

We ate some delicious Chinese food for dinner and Ryker loved his crab puff.




But he made such a mess of himself that while trying to clean him with a baby wipe it was quickly apparent that the boy needed a bath! So during a quick bath in the sink, Kynzie decided he needed a toy and brought him this purple cup. I filled it with a little water (it has a slow-leaking hole in the bottom) and handed it to him and he apparently decided he was thirsty!! Gulp, gulp, gulp! He did amazingly well with it! Who would've known?!

Ryker's First Oreo

Ryker was very pleased about getting to eat his very first cookie.


A pre-dinner snack of cantaloupe, cheerios and an Oreo resulted in one messy little man!7

Walking Ryker

Snow Day

We were surprised to wake up with snow cover this morning. We didn't get much; just enough to play in and to be gone by night. Kynzie sure was excited about it though! It was a battle to get her inside, even with frozen little hands.

Cruising Ryker

It's been quite some time since he mastered standing up, but a few days ago Mr. Ryker figured out how to cruise. And he's fast!!

Fire Man

"Look Mommy! I a fire man"

Ryker's First Big Boy Bath

Ryker had his very first bath in the big tub. He was not nearly as excited about it as we were. He calmed down a little bit after we turned the water off but he still wasn't too sure about it. And once he accidentally did a face plant, bath time was over. Keeping my fingers crossed for better luck next time!
