Avery 9 months and Ryan 3, Going on NonStop!



































January....Avery is almost 9 months and is still as happy as can be. She is eating solids now, loving sweet potatoes, Apple Vanilla Grain, and whatever you put in front of her. She is eating puffs now and will drink water out of a sippy cup. As far as mobility, she will get on all fours and do some rocking back and forth , but will fall down to her belly and roll back and forth..Ryan didn't crawl till 10.5 months so she's right along with him.

At her 9 month appt she weighed 19.5 pounds and is in the 75 th percentile for weight and for height. She loves watching Ryan run around her and just smiles at him. I will be planning her 1 year old bday party soon enough..this is nuts!

Ryan is talking non stop..we are def not sick of it like everyone said we would!
Favorite sayings...
Geico--eyes.,.mission accomplished..that's ridiculous...Ryan John FAYrarra...dinosaur...follow me..how bout......be RIIIIIGht back..more in the way he says them. I would say that he def started speaking full words right when he turned 3...then 4-5 word sentences at about 3 years 4 months....He was in the 2 year old class since September and is doing really well. Mrs. Leninger, his teacher, has advised us that she thinks we should put him in the 4 year old class next year which we are. He will go 3 days a week from 9:30 am to 11: 00 am.

Looking forward to summer already...I hate the Winter with kids!

Celebrating 6 months with Avery and 3 years with Ry

Trying to put on Steve's sneakers....

Success!








Making meatballs with Mema
Being silly with Papa......


Avery 6 months...time is flying...


PSSSSST...gonna tell you how to get more prizes..bat your big eyes, I have them too
and put on a sad face..it works EVERY time..




Can't believe how big the kiddies are getting. Ryan is talking now in multiple word utterances..asking for things, and demanding things too. Avery is starting to blow raspberries and can play sit up with assistance on the floor and "play" with toys in front of her. Ryan goes to school twice a week now, still not loving the drop off part but is doing well once he gets in there.









Looked over and saw this one..fast asleep in her jumperoo chair...she bounces so much she tires herself out..







Ryan 3 years old? Really??? He's 3 already???

Avery's First Solids

In the sequence of the actual events...this is how it went..no captions necessary... She actually took a couple more spoonfulls..she did much better than
Ryan..not like I am comparing or anything..lol
Video of it is coming soon..
Avery had her checkup yesterday..15 lbs 5 oz, 24 1/4 inches long
Doc felt something under her gums, but doesn't think any tooth will
sprout just yet..
We're going to do some solids now, and he suggested no more
overnight feedings as she doesn't NEED it..but Mommy and Daddy needs it
cause that is how she goes back to sleep when
she wakes up at 3:30 am..we'll see...
Aunt Elizabeth was in for her Christening so she was there to hold Avery
for a while in the Dr.s office..and Papa stopped in during our appt
too! Doc was about to give
Avery her shots when he walked in
and thought he'd better watch out
that Papa might take him out if he hurt our little girl!

5 years already?

Celebrating our 5th Anniversary Thursday..going to the city. Going out to dinner, then seeing a show called "Rock of Ages" and staying overnight at the Westin. Looking forward to a great time just Steve and I. Mema and Cheech are babysitting...

Here are a few..Avery is trying to roll back to belly but gets stuck half way and goes back. Ryan is doing great potty training, wearing big boy undies during the day finally went for it and took him out to the store without the pull up..no accidents. He is trying to talk so much now..so I can breathe a bit easier.


Showing off her dimple on her right side only!












Ryan loves to cook..so we made Rice Crispy Treats together...

Sprinkles were his favorite part

And Daddy ate them...


Avery's Christening coming soon..she will be wearing a gown
I wore that has been passed on through the family. So glad they preserved it
this long and I hope to save it for the next one..DANIELLE AND JOHN!!!!!
