Here is a picture of Ryan w/ his best friends: Spongebob, Little Spongebob, and Bernie! Ryan takes these 3 guys EVERYWHERE he can. He sleeps with them, grabs them when he switches rooms, and would like to take them when we go bye-bye. We usually limit him to one when we go places. He makes sure to say good-bye to the two that are left behind "bye bernie, bye lil spongebob!" and says hi to them when we get home. It is really funny how he treats them like real people, and will give them big hugs when he is in the right mood! What's ironic is that we can't get Ryan to watch Spongebob on Nick anymore, he just wants to watch Noggin!
Aaron has decided he does like the excersaucer and we took some pictures of him enjoying his time in there. I've added a picture of Ryan so you can compare yet again...I think it's fun to see the comparison and see how much and yet how different they are already!
Ryan is a couple of weeks older here-don't ask about the PBW...it's a long story!
Our cousins from New Breman decided to stop by and say hello one evening! We had a wonderful visit and Matthew and David got to meet Aaron! It was fun watching them interact w/ the boys. Especially David since they aren't sure he's ever held a baby before! Here are a few pictures of the evening! We definitely need to get together for a game night!
Matthew and Ryan cheesing it up!
David and the boys...I'm not sure he looks very happy :)
David just chillin w/ Aaron...I'm not sure he's even really holding him :)
FYI-Matthew did hold Aaron quite a while too, but the only picture I have of that is from our little photographer and it wasn't a very good picture!
On Aaron's 4 month birthday he went to see the MD. He is doing very well and weighed in at 16 lbs and 25 1/4 inches long. Both are the 75th percentile! He is still a little behind what Ryan was at 4 months. He was 17 lbs 15 oz and 26 1/2 inches long!
Since I've been writing mostly about Aaron...I thought I would share a Ryan story from today. I have been working a lot of hours because various people have been on vacation....basically I've been full time....well, tonight at supper, Ryan gave me a hug and kiss which is not unusual for my affectionate child! However, a little bit later he looked over at me and said "I miss you mommy!" Paul and I couldn't believe what he had said, and we still wonder if he truly knows what it means! Overall it just makes me very glad that I don't work full time!
