RE: Christina's comment about Ryan pictures on the last post

Ryan has not wanted his pictures taken lately. When I get the camera out he starts saying "No. I'm not gonna smile!" and runs away. You'd think I tortured him with endless photo sessions his whole childhood or something ;-)
Here are a couple of pictures of Ryan playing our latest game. I like to call it 'Chase Ryan with a camera to get pictures of him laughing histerically and darting away' Maybe that's too long a title?

I Can Do It!

It appears my fiercely independent son, who has known how to use the potty for over a year, was waiting to be able to do it all (except clean up) himself before he really got serious about using the potty. He has been doing a great job. He even wore underwear for his nap yesterday and stayed dry. Mommy is so proud!

Day 3

Still going strong even through 2 naps in the car and an air show!

All Dry- Day 2

see title...

and we were out at a campground all day!

My baby is growing up. This week I put almost all Lily's 3 month outfits with the outgrown kids' clothes, but I am still desperately holding out on some of the cutest outfits. I love that she is doing new things all the time. The smiles give me warm fuzzies all over and I'm so proud when she lifts her head or rolls on to her side. I just don't want to give up her newborn-ness. She is such a sweet little baby. Who knew watching your kids grow up could be so hard?!
