Two Year Appointment

Just a quick update on Rylan's two year well visit....
He is doing great - growing like a champ!


STATS:
Weight: 28.5 lbs.   74%
Height:  36 in         80%


Dr. Nason was very pleased with how much Ry is talking, running, and how he loves his vegetables.  He did great.... fussed a little about the finger prick as he saw blood?! (aren't boys suppose to think blood is cool?)


As Dr. Nason was leaving the room and I asked Ry to thank her, he smiled and said, "thanks Nason!!" We both started to laugh - funny guy!!!

Dancing Birthday Boy!!!

Oh my goodness, these are too funny to me! A few things to watch/listen for . . . me telling Ry to put down the knife (don't worry, its a play knife!), watch how quickly Hayden grabs it and the little sway/ballerina moves that Hayden does in the 2nd video. . . too funny!  Also note that all the adults are plopped on our butts exhausted as these two carry on!!!

Backyard - Birthday - Barbecue

We ended Ry's special day with all of our family in the backyard.  We grilled out and relaxed while Hay Hay and Ry Ry entertained us!  They were hilarious with the weed whacker, lawn mower, golf clubs, etc.  Hayden has an incredible grip on the clubs and it was fun watching him and Ry golf.  We also had some good laughs watching the two of them try to figure out the week whacker and how to get it to go.  They both loved the new sandbox and sand toys and enjoyed their dinner on Ry's new picnic table.  The night ended with a cousins bath (full of dirt and sand) and then the two of them dancing away for us!  It was the perfect day to celebrate our little blessing and the memories of his first two years!!! 

We thank God for him each and ever day!

Happy Birthday Buddy - Love you to the MOON AND BACK!!!!

Tumbleweed Park birthday party

We started off Rylan's 2nd birthday with a friends/family party at Tumbleweed Park.  He had so much fun and was just so happy to be with so many friends and relatives.  He really got into opening presents and kept trying to climb up on the picnic table and get to the gifts.  He also got a hold of a cupcake as soon as we started setting up (9:00 am!!!) and when Hayden saw him eating it he quickly rushed to Shannon and told her Ry was having one and he wanted one too!  Love those boys!!!  He got some fabulous gifts (thank you everyone!!!) but I have to say his favorite is the lawn mower.....he mowed a good section of grass that day before we packed up and headed home for a nap!

Happy Birthday To YOU!!!!!!!!

Here is a short video of Rylan's made with lots of love cow cake and happy birthday song.  He was sure excited about the candles and blowing them out!

Mamas taking us to the zoo tomorrow......

We had such a fun morning at the zoo last week.  Rylan was so lucky to get to go with his mama, cousin Hayden, Gramma Sellars, and Gramma VanHorn.  It was a beautiful morning and we had so much fun!  He rode the camel for the first time and had such a blast running around the zoo with Hay Hay.  We even decided to go into sting ray bay and pet the sting rays.  Ry was so funny when they would splash as they swam by he said they were trying to kiss him! It was the perfect morning with some of his favorite people!

First Trip to the Dentist

Ry had his first visit to the dentist today.  I was nervous as he is not the best at brushing his teeth every morning and night.  He tends to brush way better for Eric then me.  He actually did great at the dentist.  He enjoyed learning how to brush the dinos teeth and even got goofy with Dr. Choo.  She was amazing with him and let him fill up a plastic cup with the water hose and then suck it out with the spit sucker.  He thought it was the best thing ever and was turning them on and off, hanging them back up on the hooks and just in awe of the dental "tools!"  I am guessing that once she actually does a cleaning it will be a different story....probably not as pleasant.  

Stories and Snuggles with Grandpa Howie

Grandpa and Grandma VanHorn are here visiting from MI and Rylan is in heaven!! He loves the extra attention, love and people around.  He sure admires his Grandpa Howie and can't wait to play with him from the second he gets up until he goes to bed.  They were so cute the other night reading together and giggling all snuggled up on the couch.
