We take a lot of pictures when there's a new baby around. And now Annie and Ryan are interested in the camera and when they can get their hands on it, they take lots of pictures. So if we're not blogging weekly we get behind. I started this post weeks ago, and am just now getting around to it, so now I'm even more behind.
Ryan likes to pretend like he's a baby sometimes. He does a really unconvincing fake cry: "Waaa. Waaa. I'm a baby. I waked up."
When Megan lays down on a blanket he likes to lay next to her, either to talk to her or to be a baby, too.
Annie is still as obsessed as ever with Megan and will run over any time she's awake. And Ryan likes to annoy Annie, so he tries to get where he thinks Annie wants to be. Here I think he actually got Megan to smile at him.
Sundays are rough when naptime is normally 12:30 and church starts at 12:00. I don't know what Jacob's excuse is, though.
Ryan and Annie love to take pictures when they find the camera. Here's a rare picture that actually got two faces in it.
More Ryan photography:
We got the first set of Bob books for Annie a little while ago and she can read them when she feels like it. Her limit is one and if you ask her to read more than that she shuts down. But she's getting very good at sounding out words and as long as they're short enough and follow the basic phonetic rules she can read pretty well for a 3-year-old. Which is to say she can read more than zero words. ;)
Some Annie photography:
Thank you, Annie, for that lovely portrait of Ryan. The setting is beautiful. Really, though, I'm always happy to see Ryan sitting there because he is in a stubborn 2-year-old phase and does not care most of the time where his poo and pee end up. If I remind him he does better, but then I have to remember to think about it. And half the time I have to force him to go sit on the potty to try. Inevitably 90% of the time when he has a #2 accident, it's when I'm feeding Megan, she's screaming because she's tired and I'm trying to get her to sleep, or even better, she just fell asleep in my arms. I realized yesterday how much easier it is to keep my cool about his accidents when I don't have a baby in my arms. Unfortunately that doesn't happen often.
Annie saw this Wonder Woman onesie and fell in love. After pestering me to put it on Megan for a week I gave in even though it was size 3-6 months (this was a month ago when Megan was 1 month old). It fit fine. We have a big girl, growing fast.
Ryan took a picture of his obsession: shoes.
Ryan spent a week walking around in pink flip flops, carrying two other pair of his sisters' flip flops in his hands, too. I then found some blue flip flops on clearance and he willingly relinquished the pink flip flops and wouldn't take the blue ones off for a week. He even slept with them on. The boy likes his shoes.
Ryan also loves bows. Any time we would put a bow on Megan's head he would confiscate it if he could and wear it as a bow tie. We ordered him an orange bow tie (his favorite color) and he can now more easily be persuaded to leave Megan's bows alone. Sometimes.
Megan started smiling shortly before she hit 4 weeks old. A baby smile makes everything better.
Happy boy:
Another happy baby pic:
Megan likes to see what's going on in the world. Her cheeks sure look pudgy in this position.
And she still looks a lot like Annie did when she was a baby.
More pictures to come...
