A Good Sign

Ryan just came over, rested his head on my tummy, put his arm around it and patted it with his hand. Then he did the cutest thing. He said, "I lub you, baby." Now if we can just hold on to that sentiment when the baby actually comes we will be in good shape.

Monday Mornings...

Stink. The weekends never seem quite long enough. At least Jay has Friday off, so next weekend will be a long weekend. I'm sure not long enough, but it's better than nothing.

Wow, Tuesday?!

Has it really been that long since I posted?! I guess I've been busy, so busy that I didn't even notice how long it had been. The good news is I got a lot of laundry done and the house is recently vacuumed. Unfortunately Ryan has just informed me that he has a stinky and needs a diaper change. This is a problem that has been plaguing me since Tuesday coincidentally. Lot's of diaper changes and extra laundry from those pesky leaks that come from toddler tummy troubles. I guess it's hard to blog when you are changing 50 diapers and 3-4 outfits a day on top of everything you normally do. Well, I'm off to relieve the poor stinky child.

Ryan Do It!

I think I have birthed the most independent child ever. Ryan wants to do everything himself. From opening the juice bottle to putting on his clothes- he wants to do it himself. When I start to do something he starts to fuss and says, "Ryan do it!" If I don't let him he breaks down into this horrible crying like I smacked him upside the head or something. Then he sticks his lip out and looks all pitiful. Sometimes he even plops into a lump on the floor. To those who are not involved in the interaction directly I must look like the most uncaring, awful mother ever! It's so hard to do the right thing sometimes.
Oh wait, did I say he likes to do everything...there is one exception. He likes me to carry him. I'll ask, "Do you want to walk or do you want mommy to carry you?" He says, "Mommy carry you." about 9 times out of 10. Sometimes when I put him down to walk he will put up his arms up and say, "Mommy carry you." It's kind of cute, but it's going to break my back one of these days.

Maybe it's because he is 2 years-2 months-2 days old today.

Well I had to get in on the Halloween fun too. Here are some pictures from yesterday. We had a great time at Trunk or Treat.
I kind of ruined this picture by looking funny, but it's the only picture of Sweet Pea's costume:-) It was dark, what can I say?
