1) we have a busy-bodied 1 year old who keeps us going from sun up until sun down.
2) we have decided that we actually live at 166 Ashridge and have been spending mass amounts of time nesting. (Ok, my undies and socks are still stored in a box in the closet, but we have pictures hung on the wall...there are trade offs.)
We celebrated our first semi-healthy week in a long time! Ryan is getting over a double ear infection, but other than that, he's healthy! We're headed to the doctor's in about 10 minutes to get them checked out since he keeps tugging on them. (Forest Hills Pediatric rocks. Office hours in the evening, walk in clinic 4 days a week including Saturday's and 24 hour care through GRAPES. What more can you ask for? Our appointment tonight is at 7:40pm!)
Normally we'd leave Ryan's ears alone since they are not bothering him too badly. But we can't since Friday he'll fly for the first time. We're headed to Nashville for four days. Ryan will meet his cousins—Carter and Jackson—as well as his Aunt Johnny and Aunt Jill for the first time. And I get to lay my hands on the chubby little cheeks of my niece Carter for the first time! (She was born during my horrible bouts of morning sickness). We're so excited! Could there be a better week? The Superbowl, a possible snow day for Max Wed (huge storm coming) and then Nashville! And tomorrow marks the return of Ryan's beloved Jenny, his former sitter that moved to Florida. She missed us so much that she moved back! Lucky for us just in time since Ryan's buddy Henry is sick this week and because we don't want to chance him getting ill with our trip, Ryan is not being watched by Henry's momma this week.
Other than that, Ryan is growing tall. He can now reach about a foot onto the kitchen table, so no surface is safe. He's repeating everything we say (airplane, apple, lion, dada, mama, etc) and he loves to say "Uh-oh" at the appropriate times. He's very good at carrying two binkies around and will put the correct color in his mouth when asked. He's got a bit of the devil in him too. (Good!) He loves to do naughty things and look at you with this coy smile on his face as he does so. We'll also soon post video of him dancing. He loves to shake it! Check out this months pictures and we'll be sure to post when we return from the meeting of the cousins. Hope each of you are doing well and staying warm this winter.
Love to you all,
Court, Max + Ryan
Ryan sure loves his spaghetti! His hair is starting to get really long and curl up in the back. So cute!
Our little cowboy. I think of him as a Duke in this. (Duke of Hazard that is.)
Tearing apart the newspaper is among his favorite activity.
Ryan makes most anything into a toy, including this canister we found at our house. Right now he's walking around with the Xmas light control babbling to himself. Sometimes we catch him playing and talking to himself. Last week Deb caught him reading a book to himself.
Busted. Here sweet child breaks into the diaper bag on our way out the door to work / childcare.
The cutest profile there ever was!
