Has she really been here 9 weeks already??

I can't believe that we have had our precious little girl for 9 weeks already!! Time is FLYING by and it seems to get faster every minute!!

I took a picture similar to the one I took of Ryan when he was 9 weeks old. Funny how they look the same, but so different.

This week has been calm for the most part...nothing of real interest. Ryan is saying some very funny things lately. This morning he asked Mike, "Daddy, want some eggs?" Like he was going to get up and fix them. He loves to help us cook and always pulls up a chair to help pour or mix. He told me that he made me a cake yesterday while he was in the shower. (so cute)

Ryan has really gotten into singing lately and has started carrying around a bat that he sings a certain tune, a plastic report binder for another tune, and a little broom for still another song that he hums. Watching him play and come up with things is hysterical. He still doesn't like to go off and play by himself, but he gets very quiet when he thinks we don't notice and begins playing our our 'puters. He also LOVES screwdrivers. he finds one and will sneak off to "fix" something. (sneak because he knows we don't like him to have them by himself) We consistently find him trying to "fix" his train table with the screw driver and then we have to put all the tracks back together. He has also become really fond of his books lately. We spend a lot of "minutes" looking at books. He loves to say, "let's just sit a minute and read" whenever we have somewhere we need to be.

Life with a 2.5 yr old. It is so awesome because everything he says is funny, but it can certainly get the best of you when he decides to be his stubborn, testing, self. :)
