Ryder wanted to help make a cake...

Poor baby was sick, doesn't she look miserable?...

Speaking of miserbale; nice picture daddy...
Nothing like a good bath...

I lost track of time; anyone want to come over for breakfast?...


It's so hard to believe that we're going to have another baby in a few months. I've about given up on any efforts to hold my weight gain to a normal amount. I've decided that my metabolism is just different when I'm pregnant, because I honestly don't eat that much more but gain a few pounds a week. It's crazy. Anyway, Sydney started full out crawling a couple weeks ago; she's EVERYWHERE! She's also started enjoying little pieces of table food, and that will keep her occupied (while strapped into a chair) for quite a while. Ryder has turned into such a good babysitter. He keeps a good eye on her and makes sure that she doesn't put stuff in her mouth. He made me laugh this morning. We're trying to teach him not to say "I can't" do something. This morning he was so frustrated because he couldn't find a tractor picture in his magazine. He comes crying and says, "mommy, I can't find tractor". I said, "Remember, we don't say I can't because you CAN do it!" With huge tears and a very distressed look on his face, he says, "mom please help, I can find tractor!" I guess we'll just keep on trying to teach that lesson, eventually he'll catch on!

These pictures are of Sydney and Presley, my niece. I bought them matching outfits and they're finally big enough to wear them.






Hug your babies and have a great week!
