Happy Birthday Ryan!


Ryan celebrated his 3rd birthday last week. We had a small bbq for friends and family, which was great. We had an ice cream party with all the toppings, and are still eating it! I bought way too much. Ryan got some great new toys and stuff. Today his new reading chair from Grammie came, so I'm waiting for him to see it (he's in his room pretending to nap). We're slowly opening all the other stuff he got, so its been an interesting time.

We've been spending time at the pool at our gym. We've had a great time there so far. If I'm able to, I've been putting Emma in the day care so I can spend some one on one time with Ryan, which I'm sure he's grateful for (although he doesn't express it). We went with Kris and Nana this past Monday and had a ball. They have a great water structure and a kids slide, which Ryan could play on for hours. Baby pool - ha - we don't need no stinking baby pool! Here are some pictures from it.



We went to the Kenton County Fair this past weekend (our first time) and had a wonderful time. It was a little difficult to figure out how to move both kids without the double stroller, so we carried Emma most the time in her new wrap and Ryan was in the stroller and while Ryan went on rides, Emma got to ride in the stroller. Ryan loved seeing the animals and riding the rides. We also saw a baby tractor pull for kids (pedaling) starting at age 4!!


We also took the kids to get pictures taken again. Mostly for Ryan's birthday, but we were hoping for a better together picture - which we got, but still not as good as we were hoping. Ryan wasn't the most accomodating, but Emma took a great smily picture.


As for Emma, she's doing great. She was sick the weekend of Ryan's party with a little bug that was upsetting her stomach, but by Monday was good again. That night she slept 9 hours straight and has been doing 7 since then. I'm loving it! She's pretty happy most of the time and only has a bad time when she's ready to go to bed, but I'm not quite ready for her too. Getting two kids to bed is not the best time of our day! She's holding her head up on her belly really well now and loves to roll over (of course, I can't get a video of it).
