dancer

Kayla got to be a "chocklick sunday" as she calls it and put on a show at a retirement home a few weeks ago with her dance class and was super cute! we were so proud of her, she did the whole dance and looked so adorable doing it! we are super excited for her big performance in the summer!

You my boy are getting so old!

At nine months:

you wave, clap, say dada, baba

make this funny whisper sounds like whats that at new things

pant like a dog hehe my fav!

weigh 23lbs, oh my beefcake!

army scoot, like a wounded soldier w a broken leg

pull up and stand on everything, including a dog who moves...

eat baby food and some table food, meat and chicken are your fav

nurse still about every 5 hours during the day, sleep 9-5 w.o eating

smile at everyone!

laugh, fake cough, and squeal when sister does

like your carseat and rides still make you sleep

are kind of shy

like the park, eating rocks,grass ect

love to be outside swinging

look at books
play with train the drives way from you the most
do a funny bob dance wiggle to music

ryan, you are just a sweetheart and we love you so much, i am sad you are getting so old, but still love our snuggles at night when you eat, you are so precious. we are so excited watching you grow and grow! xoxo

i LOVE everything about you but tonight i love:
the way you bob on my face with your mouth for a binky wen your sleepy
the way you smack your lips when i say are you hungry
they way you get so excited for food
how you clap one hand to the other, lazy
how you wave and look at your hand in amazement
how you cant focus on your food cuz sis is so much fun
how you crawl to the bathtub and try to climb in
how you know what tubby with bubby means
how you roll tight to your belly and curl up to sleep
how you hold hands when you nurse
that you smile when you see me
that you giggle just bc we do
that you sing after me
that you kiss on command
that you wont eat peas
that you smell yummy
that you have a manly bruise on your face
that you watch tv k maybe not love that
that you hug when you get picked up out of bed
that you cry when sis takes toys
that you are all man
that you are still my baby boy
that you are my forever son shine

hard at play

standing!

Winter Pictures

i love getting you guys all dressed up warm and cozy!

Card pics,

You two, you two are awesome.. but leave me no time to blog! I know its been forever and so many things are happening... but this i wanted to remember.I had a great time taking pics of you guys for Christmas cards, some were funny, some were awful, some were filled with love, some with pure honesty. It was a chore, but they turned out to be awesome, some i will save forever. I love this time of year with you guys, Mikayla.. you are Loving everything about the holidays, you get it so much more this year, and its so neat to watch and experience everything with you... you are a little sponge. Ryan, your such a simple little man, such a blessing, to have a child so amazed with things so simple as Christmas lights, and mommy singing Christmas songs to you. These things bring a big smile, i know its short lived before the i want gifts, i want cookies, i want to see Santa... that I'm remembering to stop and love it. this is a beautiful, wonderful stage in our lives.
