Great little boy!

This picture cracks me up!!!

Rylan is obsessed with his "nookie nookie" - that's what he calls her - it's his version of "Snookie" that Casey has nicknamed her. Yeah not sure where he came up with that one. He gives her love almost a little too much. They tell me he comes and sees her at daycare usually before and after nap time. He will find the Kleenexes and clean her nose and give her lots of kisses. Rylan is so good with all the babies in the room, he gives them kisses and hugs. They say he is their "daddy" at daycare because he is so concerned when kids get hurt and always makes sure they are okay. He is such a good boy with a soft sweet heart!!!

My little Diva

They tell me Alex is a little Diva at daycare. She is really starting to show her attitude. They have also told me they have never had a baby scream as loud as she can scream (including Rylan who probably comes in 2nd). The first time she did it at daycare I guess teachers from other rooms came running in because they thought something was seriously wrong... Nope, the lady had just put her down to make her bottle and it pissed Alex off. I see this attitude from her as well and it's usually only when she is hungry and tired. She is still not sleeping great at daycare which is causing the problem. But... I absolutely love it. I want my daughter to have a strong personality, I think it's a good thing:)

Circus

After the show... We had fun!!!

This elephant is amazing!

Casey and I took Rylan to the circus for the first time (Alex stayed home with Grandpa). We had awesome seats so it was alot of fun for all of us. Rylan really enjoyed the circus and did a great job sitting through the entire thing - 2 1/2 hours.... It's amazing what they can do with the animals and I think circus people are nuts. I could never do their job and I often had to look away because it scared me so much (I really did not want to see them fall)...

Easter

Alex with her Great Grandpa
On Easter we spent the morning in Plankinton and then drove home. We had some brief family time dyeing eggs with Rylan. We then went next door to my uncle and aunts house for Easter dinner. They had an Easter Egg hunt for Rylan and of course he had alot of fun! Happy Easter!

Saturday of Easter Weekend

Ready to look for their Easter Eggs

On Saturday we went to Plankinton to Casey's parents house. We had Easter lunch and the kids had an Easter Egg hunt. Mya and Rylan had a great time looking for their eggs. This is the first year the kids really understand holidays, it's been so much fun.

Friday Night of Easter Weekend

Kisses from Rylan
Look at that smile!

Skinny dude

Friday night we went to Mitchell and had a gathering with Casey's family. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool and going down the water slides. Rylan stayed up until 11:30pm - the latest he has ever been up (and yes we paid for it the next day and the next day and the next day)... Sleep is very important to this child. But anyways, we had a good time and its so fun to see how well Mya and Rylan play together. They sure have a very special bond.

Sleep

Alex is an okay sleeper, she usually wakes once to twice a night. I'm ready for her to start sleeping through the night!!! We have now moved her crib out of our room and into my closet (no this isn't mean as my closet is large). She sleeps better in her own room with less noise from us. I hope she sleeps like her brother someday! Rylan has been a great sleeper since he was 7 months old. He stays in his bed all night and usually never wakes up. For what I have heard from other moms, this is a true blessing. Once she starts sleeping all night we will move them into the same room together.
