Ry's Going Places If Only in His Imagination

Here is Ryan on one of his several trips to Wisconsin
 

We have had a very restful & relaxing 2 weeks at home.  The constant running around has been on hold since we returned from Green Bay.  We have participated in a playgroup or playdate or two, but our focus has been staying around the house (per Ry's request). 

I have sooooooooooooooooooooo loved just hanging with my little guy.  We have really found fun things to do around the house and our neighborhood. Lots of watching birds, taking walks, playing with play-doh or trains, hiding under blankets (he is BIG into this right now), and me making his toys "talk."  Ie: "Mommy, talk Mr. Lion" or "Mommy, talk Thomas."

We also had the final "babyswap" with Gabby and Oliva this past Friday.  Oh, time flies!  G and O start preschool next week for 2 days per week.  Here are some pics of the kids on their last playdate at our house. I will sure miss the girls & their visits to our home.  If you look back in the blog, you have seen G and O grow with Ryan. Ry and Gabby were about 4 or 5 months old when they met, and Olivia joined playgroup less than 2 months later at around age 3 months.

Here they are as babies...
Gabby is in the carseat & Olivia is in all pink about to fall over -
Olivia was the youngest baby in this pic & has not learned to sit up yet.   

And FINALLY, FINALLY, I got Ryan on camera exercising with Daddy.  It has taken MONTHS. I mean since like last November or December to really get a good clip. He'd usually stop or run for the camera.  Ry loves to do and say jumping jacks, running in place...he also knows words like: mat, yoga block, push up & pull up thanks to P90X. Oh, and X - cellent....
