Rieslin is an absolute joy. She’s funny, silly, sweet and ADORES her siblings. Anytime she gets something (chocolate, etc) she says to me, “One for Raeghan?” And she’ll repeat anything you tell her. All day today she was saying, “I’m a Diva, dude!” *snort* She’s starting repeating things Raeghan says, too, it’s so cute.
Tomorrow morning at 5:20 a.m., my sweet (and most likely last) baby will be 2. It’s bittersweet. She’s amazing and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Yeah, I know it’s been a while… again. Ryland has been a typical first-born, bossing the others around. Trinity has, too. So, Tara started asking them, “Did you push that child out of your crotch? No? Then don’t tell her what to do.” It’s quite effective. I have two funnies from this. I asked Ry this question in front of Chris the other night and Ry told me later that I had embarrassed him. I told him that it annoyed me when he bossed my kids around and that if he’d stop annoying me I’d stop embarrassing him. After church we were in the car and Raeghan said she wanted to go to the park. Ry told her it was too hot for the park and without missing a beat she said, “Ryland, did you push me out of your crotch?” Chris and I were rolling. ************************ We have squirrels in the garage. Well, they’re actually in the roof/under the dormer window but we see them in the garage. The other day I opened the door to go downstairs and there was one on the stairs and it scared the CRAP out of me. I started referring to them as Alvin, Simon and Theodore. I heart my kids. ******************* And milestones – Ries is talking up a storm! I couldn’t list all the words/phrases if I tried. But she started saying, “uh, holdyou” this week – melt my heart. And because I can’t post without a pic…
Yesterday was his birthday. He decided that he wanted to stay home and build his new legos (that he got yesterday morning) with Daddy so R2 and I went to church with Aunt T and the girls. We had lunch and then I had two photo shoots. Last night we all went out to dinner at Mizu to celebrate he and Trin’s birthday. He had fun! He enjoyed all his gifts of his birthday week and says he likes being 7 even though he now has more responsibilities.
Ries has been saying Mama, Dada and Ry or RyRy (for both Ry and Raeghan) for a while but this week she’s added Bahbah (baby), quaqua (quack, quack) and DID it!!! On Sunday, October 4 I was baptized and then helped baptise Ryland!
Tara has it on video, I’ll try to get it from her. We had a Princess Pool party for Raeghan, Journey and Rieslin on Saturday.
Here’s a slideshow of some of the pictures, I still have a ton to edit! We all had a blast. Ries liked the ice cream but wasn’t all that impressed with the cake! Last week Ry got his hair cut.
And this morning his third tooth fell out. His top two are loose, too. But this was another bottom one. He showed me and it was barely hanging on so I applied a little pressure and out it came!
I’ll be doing a birthday shoot later!! We had something planned every morning this week – go, go, go! Monday Ryland had his first Tumbling class and LOVED it! Tuesday we played at a friends house and Mommy learned how to knit. Then we cooked out and played outside with Daddy. Ry played with a dirt dobber:
Thursday we went to Recreation Station and the kids had a BLAST playing in the bounce houses. Raeghan wanted nothing to do with the baby stuff, she was going up the big kids ramp and coming down the slide by herself!
Yesterday we played at a friends house in the morning and then went bowling in the afternoon.
And for the big news – Raeghan has ANOTHER bottom tooth, one of the three molars she’s been working on has cut through the tiniest bit, and she’s WALKING!!! |
