Hysterical Ryker

Ryker is one ticklish boy!

Ryker's New Toy

The big kids were playing with little Ryker.

This is Ryker's new seat. He's not supposed to be in the jumpy activity-centers since they can worsen muscle-tone issues that he already has. This is a nice alternative. He really enjoys it!

Though it appears that Ryker is sitting, Ryan had only let go of him for a second while I snapped this picture. His balance is getting much better, but he can only manage this for about half a second.

Playing Play-Doh

During a trip to the store Ryker kept himself entertained with his links.

Kynzie loves play-doh. See the R2D2? It's a play-doh stamper.

"Look Mommy! I made R2!"

She always wants me to do all the playing while she watches. "No, Mommy do it" she'll say.

Snuggling with Daddy before it's time to put pj's on.

Screamin' Little Man

Blurry picture, but look how good he is at getting up on his arms!

I was laying down next to him and he was trying to grab and pull my shirt.

Drawing In The Bathtub

Our little artist spends about half her day, if not more drawing. She has special bathtub crayons. The drawings behind her are snails.

She drew a house.

And an airplane and a circle.

Sibling Bath Time

Kynzie was insistent that Ryker take a bath with her. "Ryker take a bath with me" she said. He wasn't too keen on the idea.

He was a happy boy after his bath!

Scary Music

Kynzie loves music. A few months ago we were flipping through our cable's music channels and Kynzie kept telling me "different music." She was only satisfied when the metal channel was on. Where does she get this? Not a clue...we don't listen to metal. So today when I asked her if she wanted to listen to music she said yes and almost immediately upon putting it on the pop channel she said "No Mommy, scary music!" So I complied. And she got very excited. "Yay! Scary music! Scary music" she exclaimed.



I'm not quite sure why she decided to draw on her baby dolls. But she was at least nice by telling them to hold still. Maybe there was a picture of a tattooed person on the TV? She is awfully imaginative.

Smiley Boy & Bucket Head

Family Time At The Park

It was a beautiful day to go to the park!

She wasn't too sure about these stepping stone type things.

She's gotten very good at walking down steps.

She always likes the steering wheels at parks.

And of course she still digs the slide.

We stopped and got ribs on our way home. Kynzie had barbecued chicken and managed to make quite a mess.

"Dadddddyyy!!! Clean my hands!!" She doesn't like her hands getting being dirty.

Looking Cool

She loves to wear her sunglasses.

Big Girl Potty

It's been six days now that Kynzie has been going in the potty, with only a few accidents. At first we were "bribing" her with candy but now she forgets to even ask for it. She doesn't have to be reminded to go either. We've been keeping her naked and keeping the potty in the living room. Next step: panties! She's so proud of herself...what a big girl!

Kynzie's First Haircut

She was very excited about going to get a haircut.

Once we got there she began to get skeptical. But she quickly got over it. She got to sit in a really neat pink car and wear a pretty pink cape!

She drove the car while she got her haircut.

There was a yellow car at the booth next to hers that she wanted to sit it. We kept reminding her that after her haircut she could sit in the yellow car.

I was very impressed by how well she sat still.

She got a toy frog to look at so she would keep her head down.

Getting her bangs cut.

She smiled when she looked in the mirror and saw her pretty new do.

She got to ride this horse two times while we were getting ready to leave. Once we got home, I said something about her haircut and she reached up and touched her hair and said "My hair got all gone."

Sibling Play Time

Kynzie always insists that Ryker play too. She likes to show him everything.

Ryker tries really hard to scoot forward to get himself some toys.

Daddy And Baby Snuggles

We were watching videos of animals on the computer and Kynzie thought Ryker needed to watch too. She asked to hold him.

"NOOOO!! MORE ANIMALS!!!!!"

Ryker looks like he's giving the evil eye.

Napping Kynzie

After refusing to take a nap in her bed Kynzie fell asleep on the couch.

Kynzie's First Real Owie

Kynzie was playing with her giant stuffed dog on the couch and fell and hit her face on the coffee table. There was so much blood!

She's so tough. She screamed for a minute but pretty much stopped crying when Daddy picked her up. I think Ryan & I were more traumatized than she was.

Even Daddy had blood on him.

She thought it was paint.

All that blood and yet such a little gash!
