May.

Ryan had his first trip to the dentist!  The dental office I found near us is very family friendly.  They had a little play area in the waiting room that Ryan loved and then when we got back to the exam chairs they gave him a pair of sunglasses to wear and turned on Netflix to Mickey Mouse!  He sat still the whole time!

 We explored Spokane a little bit.  There are so many parks tucked into the city.

 After the park we had lunch at a place called Anthony's.  It's right off the Spokane River so it has an amazing view of the falls.  Ryan kept looking out the window and gasping, it was hilarious!

 We started to work on potty training a little bit.  He'll sit still and watch movies on the iPad.

 May also meant our double birthdays.  Maylyn invited a couple friends over to decorate cupcakes for her birthday party.  She LOVES horses so we made horse cupcakes.

 Kaeleigh had initially thought she was "too cool" for little sister's cupcake party but then decided that it might be fun.

Ryan's birthday was the 18th.  I can't believe this little boy is two years old. Trying to get a two year old to cooperate and take pictures was fun. 

Stand still. Leave the glasses on. Smile!  Ugh.

 He fell and hit his eye two days before his birthday so it looked like he had been in a fight and got a black eye.  At his well visit he weighed 27 pounds.  His height, weight, and head circumference all fell in the 50th percentile. He's not the best eater but he does have some favorites.  Pizza is definitely number one with peanut butter close behind.  I'm doing like his doctor said and continuing to offer him everything we're eating but he's a turkey and picks at his food.  He's not much of a talker.  While his pediatrician isn't concerned about it, it worries and frustrates me.  He'll sign things like, "more." "Please." "All done." His doctor says that he has his sisters and me to answer for him so of course he's not talking.  The one thing he says consistently is Dad.  This little mama's boy refuses to say Mama.  Oh well, what can you do?

We celebrated both birthdays together with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law and we Skyped during present time with my parents so it was almost like they were there!

Maylyn turned 9 this year.  She has started to outgrow the Barbies and is now all about Lego Friends.  And she still asks for a horse every year.  Who am I kidding?  She asks nearly every day for a horse.  Can you guess what she picked as the theme of her room?  :)

I need to get a better picture of the two of them for this year but I just love seeing how much they grow and change each year.
