Playing with birthday toys

Since Ryan's birthday we have been playing, playing and more playing with the toys he got. And playing with non birthday toys as well, like holes Scrappy has dug.

Reading some new books and doing some puzzles.

Here is Ryan playing in a very muddy, messy dirt hole Scrappy has dug.

He was covered in dirt when he came out.

And of course, watching a Mickey Mouse and Bob the builder DVD's he got for his birthday too.

Here are Ryan's TWO year pictures. He had to have as many props as he could. He couldn't just sit there with nothing in his hand or playing with something, except for one picture. There were teddy bears, plush dogs and balls all over the room. The lady had a little yellow ball which looked like one of Scrappy's balls, so Ryan called it "Scrappy ball".But he was very good and smile in almost all of them. Mickey, Ryan and Scrappy ball.

He says "hippity hop"

Two Years Old

Ryan did well at his two year appointment at the doctors. He did try to leave out the door a few times and the doctor had to stand in front of it so he would not. He also would not let the nurse nor I get his height. Finally, I laid him down to change his diaper with no one in the room and marked his head then his feet on the paper with a pen. Here Come The Terrible Two's!

08/17/09 Ryan turns two

We begin Ryan's birthday with giving him one of his presents, a tricycle. He loves it! For our snack we took it outside on his new picnic table, he ate honey dew melon and drink apple juice. Mom and Dad both had to work that day, so we finished celebrated Ryan's second birthday at night when we got home. We sang Happy Birthday again with a candle and Ryan had to blow it out again. Then he got to open more gifts from us. Scrappy helped open gifts and even gave one to Ryan too. Here Ryan testing out his new tricycle. He says "Weeeee"
Putting his new picnic table to use. If you ask Ryan what are you eating he will say "Eating cantaloupe and honey dew melon."

Happy 2nd Birthday Ryan!

The Month Of July

We were very busy in the month of July. I am sorry these pictures are NOT in order. I wanted to do as much activities with Ryan before I had to start working summer school (which I started on July 24th). Here Ryan is with our neighbor Lilly (who is three weeks older then Ryan) at her birthday party. 7/18
Dad took Ryan in the big pool at Lilly's house (before it broke)

7/1 we went with our friends Laura, Griffin, Laurie and Jonathan to the petting farm up the road from where we live. We went to lunch first then to the farm. It down poured on us that day. It was still fun. It says "Boys will be Boys" on Ryan's shirt, that is so true. Because of the rain I didn't get many good pictures.

7/14 This is the sand box at Ward's Berry Picking Farm in Sharron, MA. We went with Laura and Griffin.

Here is a mud puddle Ryan and Griffin played in.. Gross. They enjoyed it. "Splash"

7/12 Here is Ryan in the back yard, in his little pool. He loves it. "Water"

7/11 Ryan and Mama dressed up for our cousin Meahgan's wedding.

7/8 This is the petting zoo at the Brockton Fair

The best part of the Brockton Fair is the cotton candy. Ryan says "blue cotton candy".

7/15 This is from the Children's Museum. We meet up with Laura, Griffin, Laurie and Jonathan. We went inside and had lunch outside. Here Ryan is wearing butterfly wings. He was running around saying "FLY, FLY".

All Aboard!

7/17 Ryan is Exactly 23 months old. Riding in his wagon with his Cape Cod t-shirt on.

7/14 Ward's Berry Picking Farm. Ryan and Griffin picking Blueberries. Both boys ate a ton of blueberries. Griffin kept telling Ryan to only eat the blue ones not the green ones.

After blueberry picking the boys went into a bounce house. This is a great picture. Thank you Laura.

When they were tired of bouncing we checked out the animals. Some cows, chickens and got to pet a baby bunny rabbit.

7/15 these are more pictures from the Children's Museum in Easton, MA. The three of these boys are only a week a part in age. From left to right there is Jonathan(born 8/15/07), Griffin (born 8/9/07) and of course Ryan (born 8/17/07). They play great together.
