I scream u scream we all scream for ice cream!

Yesterday afternoon we went up to the Gonzales homestead for dinner. We all decided to go out. We all totally piled into the van and drove to Sivlerdale. It is about 20 minute drive. The kiddos thought it was pretty cool because Julie and I sat in the back with them. I was in the far back with Ryan and Elisha and Julie was in the middle seat with Johanna. Ryan sat in one of Johanna's old car seat. Check out the flowers!!!! The rule with car seats is that the child can be front facing when they are 1 and or above 20 pounds. Well Ryan is 22 pounds and almost a year so we let him sit in in forward facing. It was tooooo cute. He thought he was so cool. After dinner we went out for ice cream. Ryan got to try some of Elisha's ice cream. He really liked it. He got just a tinny bit, but he sure did make a mess.

Partners in crime

I really feel like Rex and Ryan are partners in crime. The house seems to be filled with laughter and adventure when Daddy is home. I love to listen to Rex and Ryan play together. Our home seems to be a jungle and they are both explorers. They go up and down the stairs, in rooms that Ryan is not aloud in unless Daddy is home. Simple things like changing a diaper or folding laundry seem to be so much fun. One day I will video tape their conversations. Although Ry does not talk, they have their own secret language. Rex will do anything to get Ryan to laugh or smile. I love it when Ryan will laugh and then Rex laughs and then before you know they are both laughing really loud together.

In the past few days Ryan has made more and more attempts to stand. He is starting to get the hang of it. He will either stand by himself or use something to lean up against. I finally got a picture of it. It is so funny because about half way through it I think he realizes what he is doing and he gets scared so he sits down. He gets the cutest look on his face right before he sits. I will try to capture that on film soon. Until then this is the best picture I have of him standing.

What a trooper!

My little boy who is going to be 1 in 29 days is such a little trooper. I a so Blessed. This morning with the help of Auntie Kelly I took him to the doctor. Rex is on shift. Ryan has pink eye and a cold. Well I guess pink eye is a not a medical term, but you all know what I am talking about. I have to put medicine in is eyes 3 times a day for 5 days. I think I laughed out loud when the doctor said that. Ry will never let me put that gunk in his eyes it is going to take literally three people to do that. I tried a little while ago and was so unsuccessful that it was not even funny. On day like today I hate that my husband will not be home until tomorrow. As For Ry, he is still in pretty good spirits. He doe not smile much and constantly wants to be held. I am ok with the last part. He does smile when I dance and make funny faces at him. So needless to say there has been a lot of dancing around here.
