Addie is TWO Months Old!

Addie is two months old today!  We love you, Addie :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's in our life! This includes the mom's to four legged kids too :) Another week has flown by. Ayson was his usual non stop chattering, on the go self and Addie is stealing our hearts!

Daddy dressed Ayson in a Detroit Tigers baseball shirt and Mommy had to make sure a picture was taken for Grandpa Roger.

Love the baseball on the butt!

Tower building with Daddy on Tuesday. Ayson: "Daddy how high can it go?!"

Oh No!

Addie giving Daddy her pout face. Both Ayson (as a baby) and Addie have Mommy's pout face :)

Ayson found his winter boots in the closet and INSISTED on wearing them even though it was rather warm for winter boots...hey, he's two! Mommy was able to get Ayson to pose for a picture...

On Sunday, Daddy made blueberry waffles and gave Mommy her Mother's Day gift: a gift certificate to Mommy's favorite Spa....ah, Thank you Daddy! Depending on who was napping, Mommy and Daddy spent time outside with Ayson and Addie. Then, once Ayson woke up form his nap, we went to the park and also had ice cream - yum! Ayson and Daddy watching the ants that Daddy uncovered when he moved a big flat rock.

Ayson pushing Mommy on the swing. Mommy: "Weee"

Mommy and Addie enjoying the warm weather on the front porch.

Ayson had a great time at the park! We ran into a few friends from home and Ayson took Hanna by the hand (no words) and directed her over the the play ground set...too cute!

Then he watched Hanna pick up wood chips and sprinkle them around so he then had to do the same.

Sigh, Ayson had to climb UP the slide after watching the big kids do the same on the play ground equipment for older kids.

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy!

Addie was a good girl and was either sleeping or just looking around the entire time. Daddy captured a smile...so precious.

Ayson wanted to swing on the BIG kid swing. Take a look at how excited he looks :)

Happy Day, It's May!

Every time Addie gets a gift, Ayson says "Happy Day, a present!" The week was warmer than the end of April and we spent as much time outdoors as possible, so Happy May! Addie is doing well. She is starting to coo and "talk" more during her quite alert periods. Ayson is going non-stop and never is without a question such as "what is this?" And Mommy and Daddy are just trying to keep up with the kids. Granted, Mommy firmly believes that if she slept 10 hrs each night and also took a 2 hr nap each day that she could keep up with ANY kid :)

Look how big our Baby Doll is getting!

Addie making faces and cooing at the mobile and her reflection.

Ayson playing in his barn on Wednesday. It's more of a tight fit these days! Ayson: "Mumma, close the doors!"

Hello!

Kisses! Actually, Ayson is stingy with kisses (but he gives great hugs) and this picture is of him making the "moo" sound for the cows that live in his barn. So this picture is for Grandpa Roger, who complains about Ayson's stingy kisses :)

One of the cute outfits from Uncle Doug, Aunt Josie, and the boys. Such a precious baby doll!

Daddy chatting with Addie. I was standing in the kitchen, on the other side of the counter so I was using the zoom and that must be the reason for Addie's glowing eyes.

Ayson was a good boy this week (no hitting, biting, or kicking Daddy...a phase we hope is fleeting) so he got to go on a tractor ride!

Ayson "driving"

Grandpa Chuck came over for the weekend to spend time with the grand kids. Ayson had a blast with Grandpa and wore poor Grandpa out! Three generations of Ryans standing in front of Daddy's Char-Griller Trio smoker.

Daddy, Grandpa Chuck, and Addie.

On Saturday night, Daddy told Mommy "come outside after you put Addie to bed because Dad and I are going to light the chiminea." When Mommy finally went outside, the chiminea was going but the huge bonfire at the neighbors house was stealing the shows and the boys (as the bigger fire drew all the boys to the flame)!

You can just barely make out Daddy and Grandpa near the bottom left of the picture...this was a huge bonfire!

April showers bring...5 inches of snow?!

On Monday morning, we woke up to 5 inches of heavy, wet snow. Luckily for us we did not loose any tree branches or power. When Ayson saw the snow he said "Brrr, cold!"

On Thursday, Mommy had a Drs appointment in Cortland so she took Addie with her so that Mommy's work colleagues could all meet Addie. Addie posing with Megan, Andy, Kathryn, and Sandie. Addie was such a good girl at the office and during the Drs appointment.

Uncle Doug, Aunt Josie, and the boys sent Addie and Ayson a care package. Addie received a bunch of adorable outfits, rattles, and a blanket. Ayson received 3 trucks and 2 truck toy sets and a blanket. Mommy and Daddy also got a blanket...THANKS Doug, Josie, and boys!! 

Ayson playing with his new toys.

For some reason, Ayson kept pointing to the pirate and saying: "Grandpa Chuck."

A short clip of Ayson playing with Daddy.

Mommy and Daddy's friend, Jen, sent Addie a box of clothes. Below Addie is wearing one of the cute sleepers...THANKS Jen!!

Ayson has watched an episode clip of Cars in which Mator and Lightening McQueen are "tractor tipping" and Ayson did the same to his tractors :)

A look of surprise because Percy the Train was stuck in the corner. Notice that the cars and helicopter are all "tipped" too :)

Ayson putting sand in his dump truck.

The latest addition to the Roe-Ryan household: a char-griller. Yes, Daddy's Father's Day gift a few months early.

On Sunday, Mommy's friend and colleague, Robyn, stopped by for a visit with Addie. Robyn also gave A^4 a loaf of her yummy pumpkin chocolate chunk bread...THANKS Robyn!
