And it begins,

Ever since Ryan has been born, we have been waiting. Its not the kind of thing you talk about, or even really dwell on after you have them... but you are really hoping your kids will become friends. I have watched so many of my friends have two kids, who are just madly in love and its adorable. Ryan's almost five months, and the two of you have been kind of just co-existing. Every once in a while you will play for a few minutes, give good morning and goodnight hugs and kisses or even pull hair just for fun... but haven't really gotten together and played. This is what I have been waiting for... the full on, no set up from mom and dad, just brother & sister playtime. Mikayla has always liked playing peek a boo and this takes it to a whole new level, this laugh Ryan will only give his big sister... so deep and rich. I am bursting with joy watching you two.. so it begins, this beautiful crazy love story between big sister and her little brother.

ohmygoodness....

What did we do?! My son, you are still beautiful.. on the inside.

just kidding, I think your adorable...kinda bald, but adorable

The big 2nd birthday bash was a ton of fun! You were so excited to see all your friends, and family at your house at the same time, you kept coming over saying "everybody here!" You got your very own jumping castle to jump with your friends, had a yummy dinner (even though you didn't eat much! ) and a delicious cake! You got so many fun toys, we have been so busy playing with them all, you are a lucky little lady! It was so fun watching you celebrate with all the people who love you most!

Ah yes,

The Dr. visit went well, it was so nice getting both of you in at the same appt and we finally have Dr that we like, a lot actually, so it is a pleasant trip! You were both so good, and got everything all checked out... and yes you two are super healthy. Mikay, he was impressed by your vocab.. at least 50 words my butt, chick you talk the pants off most kiddos! You got a referral to see an orthopedist for your crooked foot so we shall see...

Ryan, you are a chubby butt! we know all about it though! Strong, happy and a cute little boy is all they ever have to say.. muah i love it! Shots all around, kinda a whiny ride home.. but its done!

TWO!

Mikayla,

Happy Two years old my girl! You are a beautiful, wonderful, magical child who amazes me every single day. Little woman, you can talk up a storm and you surprise us daily with the things that come out of your mouth, a few favorites "good morning handsome," "come my room mom," "night mom, i love you too," and some other wonderfully naughty things you have picked up along the way we wont mention in detail! On your birthday morning we got up early, went and got doughnuts, and went to feed the ducks, your favorite! You kept feeding the ducks saying "happy birthday ducks," and singing to them. When we got home we had mac n cheese, and birthday cake, you loved it when we sang to you and you did a great job blowing out the candles! Then we packed up and went to see gma and gpa, we had a fun day playing with them, visiting your Nana, and then pizza for dinner! You had so much fun opening your gifts, and playing with them!
