Morning Tea

I have decided that my favorite time with Ryan is in the morning. He usually wakes me up-big surprise. I can hear him playing in his crib or talking to his doll. Than I try to get him to come and snuggle with me in bed, this never works anymore. Ryan hits the ground running when he wakes up. So we wake up and walk around the house and open the blinds saying good morning to the sun. Than I put him in his highchair and I start breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea, toast and banana and he usually has his baby food. Lately he has been eating almost half my banana and today he had a bit of my whole wheat toast. The days of having a nice quite breakfast are over. I do not consider myself a morning person, but Ryan makes me want to get up. Everything is new to him and he seems so excited to wake up and start a new day. I love having my son as a date for breakfast. We are always in our pajamas and nothing else in the world seems to matter.

Trying to escape

Last night Rex and I laid Ry down for the night. About 20 minutes latter we could hear him in there moving around. He likes to roll over and play with his toy that is connected to the crib. He has figure out that if he kicks it or hits it the music will stop and start again. He also has a doll that he sleeps with that his Aunty Niea sent him all the way from Germany. Anyway last night we both went to check on him and it looked like he was trying to escape. He had pulled down the bumper and was reaching his arms out of the rails of the crib. It was cute that we had to take a picture. We were laughing so hard. I think it is one of those things that is only funny to the parents but I thought I would share.

Little Man

I love this picture. Ryan just woke up and Rex had just changed him. His hair has a mind of its own. I love that he has rosy cheeks when he wakes up. It reminds me of Grandpa Ralph. Two nights ago Ryan had whole wheat noodles for the first time. He loved them. I cannot believe he is seven in half months old. He is crawling better each day. It is pretty funny to watch. He officially has a play room. Our extra room is now an office and play room for the kids. It has turned out really cute.

My Amazing Husband

Yesterday I was taking a nap because I had a terrible migraine. Rexer had a work meeting so he was out and about. Instead of waking to a crying baby I awoke to a beautiful bouquet of Lilly's and roses. It was a nice change. Rexer always has a way of making me feel loved, appreciated and beautiful. I am thankful for my amazing husband and honestly really wanted to share.

P.S He also spent way to much on these flowers so I wanted others to enjoy them.

We are done Christmas shopping!!!!

Bump on the head

My cute little boy has a big bump on his forehead. I was running around this morning trying to get ready to leave the house and I set Ryan down by some of his toys. I ran upstairs and I heard a thump followed by him screaming. I ran down stairs like a mad woman to see my little boy crying and smiling at the same time. He has a beautiful wooden fire truck that we found at a second hand store. He always wants to pay with it, it all comes apart and he can undo some of the big wooden pieces. He crawled over to it and seriously bumped his head. I think he was proud of himself that he made it to the fire truck, but he was really hurt. He has a huge bump on his head that is all red. Of course we went to go show Daddy and Rex did not even notice it. It was so traumatic for me. It is always amazing to me that when anything happens to your child everything seems to matter and everything is worse case scenario. Ryan is fine, it was me that I think that Rex was worried about. But how can I help it that is my little boy. I always knew that I would love my son, but I never thought I would be in love with him. As all mothers understand the love that you have for your children is unlike anything you could ever express. Here is a picture of the HUGE BUMP on Ryan's forehead. -yes I know you can hardly see it.

Shower time

So I have to share my funny shower story. Today I was taking a shower and trying to shave my legs for like the third day in a row. But as all of you moms know there is not such thing as an uninterrupted shower once you have children. I looked over at Ryan and he was about to put Rexers boxers in his mouth. When I take a shower if Ry is not asleep than I set up a blanket and several toys in our bathroom for him to play with. Well Ryan was apparently not interested in the toys and went straight for the dirty clothes. He is not fully crawling, but he is so close. He can crawl backwards and I am assuming that is how he got to the dirty clothes. I was laughing so hard, he never got them in his mouth. Ryan thought it was pretty funny that Mommy jumped out of the shower and ran over to him laughing and waving my arms. I yet again did not get to shave my legs-well I guess I will try tomorrow.

Pancake Feed

On December 6th is the 12 annual Pancake feed at the Fire Department. This will be the third year that Rex and I will be the main organizers. It will be at the Sumner Station from 9-12.

Rexer goes back to work

On November 30 Rex will be returining to shift work. We are thrilled. He has been on light duty for the past 6 months. He tore his ACL May 1st and had surgery on June 16th. I am really excited, but I have not been alone in our new home yet. I am a little nervous, but I have a great support system all within 5 miles north and south of me. He is counting down the days until he gets back on shift work. The fire department has been amazing and totally taken care of us.
