Another Month!

This last month has been an interesting one. It has been a tough one. There have been a lot of emotions flying about. The worst part of this last month I think was Steve. Tray was doing so awesome at potty training that Darren surprised Tray with a puppy. A very very cute puppy that Tray named "Steve". (Too much blue's clues) After a few days with our new little friend we realized that Ryler was not doing so well. His eyes were red and puffy, he was very congested and very onery. Sneezing and yelling all the time. Ryler is a very happy baby so we knew something was wrong. Ryler was allergic to Steve. So sadly we had to say goodbye to the little fur ball. Tray was beyond upset. He cried for days and refused to go anywhere near that potty, insisting on "baby diapers". We scrubbed the house down and finally got Ryler back to normal after a week or so. It took a few weeks but we're finally getting Tray back on the potty. He still asks for Steve sometimes but hes over it for the most part.

Tray and his little buddy.

Tray is also FINALLY getting in the last of his molars (for now anyways) and they have had a very hard time cutting through. He has been extra sad and emotional and only wanting to eat one thing..

About 20 times a day I hear "Please yellow Popsicle?

Miraculously I found a brand that sells bags of all yellows. Epic, right?

Now for Ryler. I swear I just barely posted about Ryler turning 3 months and now its time to update again! Ryler is 4 months old and so much fun. I am loving all the new stages! He is such a joy in our home and we just love him to pieces. Tray is starting to realize he can plan with Ryler and likes me to make Ryler tackle him. Its really cute.

A little bit about the Roo....

Ryler is now 15 lbs. 25 inches. About 40 and 40 for percentiles.

Ryler loves to smile and will crack it at just about anything.

He loves chewing on his hands!

He loves chewing on everything... lol Everything goes straight to the mouth.

He likes to pull out his binky... then tries to get it back in his mouth but isn't too successful yet.

He is still eating and sleeping awesome. He is such a chunk! We can't even believe it.

He now likes taking baths.

He loves standing up and sitting up. He doesn't like leaning back.

He has a suuper cute giggle!

He likes rubbing his hands together.. it looks like he's scheming. It always reminds me of that part on Dr Doolittle 2 "This is good news. The Beaver likes good news" :)

His hair is staying a light brown.

His eyes are still a really dark blue, we're not quite sure what color they'll end up.

He loves being in his jumperoo and is getting the hang of the jumping part.

He really likes sitting in his bumbo.

He likes holding toys and sticking them in his mouth, sometimes resulting in a punch in the face lol Then he looks at us like "what did you hit me for??"

He is really good at tummy time.

He loves looking in the mirror.

He is VERY ticklish :)

He is the perfect addition to our little family. I can't imagine life with out that chubby grin :)

We love our boys sooo much!

Tray is yelling "Don't get me, Ryler baby"!

They are so cute!!

Roo in his Jumperoo

I loove this age! He is figuring everything out.

Tummy time!

My cute 4 moth old!

Check out those rolls! I can't get enough :)

Easter

Our Easter this year was pretty eventful and I have come to the conclusion that Easter egg hunts for combined ages are a JOKE! First our complex had an easter egg hunt out at the play ground which I ended up missing! I planned the day so well. I had kids ready and fed and bundled up and we were there for the hunt on time. Then the wind decided to blow like crazy and poor Ryler was gasping. So I decided to run back to the apartment really quick to get a giant blanket to throw over him and by the time I got back I missed the whole thing! lol Luckily my sister in law and nephew came to the hunt with us and Tray stayed out with them while Ryler and I ran back to the house. So Tray still got to do some hunting. Though he and his little cousin Emry only ended up getting 6 eggs each. On my way back out to the play ground I saw older kids with grocery bags chuck full of eggs. lol Greedy little things. Then there was a community hunt the next day that we drove to that was supposed to be split up into ages but apparently wasn't done very well. When the guy in charge yelled "Go" Tray was trampled. I had Ryler in my arms and could only do much to protect him from the sugar hungry mob lol By the time we got back up all the eggs were gone. Sadly there were even adults out there scooping up eggs. Tray was pretty upset that he didn't get any. Surprisingly enough I didn't get pictures from either of those hunts. Easter weekend we drove down to Sandy to visit the fam and my sweet Mom planned a hunt for Tray and a couple little cousins. The hunt was wonderfully age appropriate and Trays cousins had a blast... Tray had crashed prior to the hunt and had to be woken up to participate, which was a bad idea.. he found some eggs but was kinda grumpy about it. So all in all I would say Easter eggs hunts this year were not the most successful. lol After a good nights sleep we all woke up bright eyed and ready to see what the Easter Bunny had brought. He was nice enough to bring the boys some pretty great stuff. But what really made our Easter this year was attending Sacrament meeting at the local assisted living center, where my family was in charge of meeting. The service was beautiful, our company was wonderful and the spirit was very amazing. I could not have asked for a better morning.

My sweet Easter boys :)

ha ha Love this one. Tray was complaining that Ryler was too heavy.

Yay for finding Eggs!
