May update on my babies

I'm still trying to blog more but not being successful at that. I will always keep everyone updated on how Rya & Hayden are doing though! So here's an update on my beautiful angels!

Rya Michele will be 30months old on the 10th! I know her birthday is still 6months away but I can't believe she's going to be 3 years old this year! She's such a funny, energetic & silly little girl. She loves having her picture taken & will now smile for me. If she has on a new outfit or is doing something cute, she'll say "Pic Cha, pic cha!" She's always running around, laughing & playing. I wish I had a 1/4 of her energry. At her 2 year doctor's appointment, she was 37" tall & 30lbs. She is incredibly smart!! I read that by the time a child is 30months old, she should know a few colors, a few body parts & a few friends. Rya knows 9 colors, 16 colors & at least 10 people by name (that's not including Garyn, myself & Hayden). She continues to amaze me with how smart she is! She says countless words. Literally repeats everything she hears. She even says some small sentances. My favorites are "What cha got?" & "What happen?".  She is also an incredibly big sister! She loves Hayden so much & loves to be around him & play with him. When she wakes up in the morning, the 1st thing she does is say hello to me & give me a hug & then immediately after that, she says "Where's baby?". She & Hayden play great together. I love it when I'm doing dishes & hear them both cracking up in laughter. She is also very attentative to Hayden! I was busy & I heard Rya saying "Baby, take it out! Take it out!" I went over to Hayden & he had 1 of Rya's tiny dress up rings in his mouth. I still wonder how he got it & how Rya knew he wasn't supposed to have it. She's such an amazing little girl! She is such a Mommy's girl but she so loves her Daddy. She is having alot of problems with me leaving so I'm worried she has bad separation anxiety from Mommy but hopefully it'll get better. She is the biggest sweetheart, she already shows so much love for us & she's so funny. I love her with all my heart & am so thankful we were blessed with such a sweet & beautiful little girl!

Hayden Richard is 11months old already. We're amazed at how fast time has gone by. I'm really excited for his 1st birthday. Hayden's already showing signs that makes me believe he's very smart as well. When I'm picking up his toys, he'll grab one & put it in the box. He repeats some facial expressions that I make at him. If I pucker my lips for a kiss, he'll put his entire mouth either on my lips or my nose. He said his 1st word  today!! It's hard to tell what the 1st word is. There have been times when I say hi to him & it sounded like he said it back but it was hard to tell. He'd do the "Dadadada" alot but that doesn't count. Today Garyn walked past him & Hayden smiled & said "Da Da" took a pause & said it again. So we will count that as his 1st word! He's doing great on standing up. He has been able to pull himself to stand with help for awhile now. He's able to walk using the furniture. I think he'll take his 1st steps soon. His legs are very strong, his balance is great & he is able to stand very well while holding onto something with just 1 hand! He loves playing with Rya. He's at the age & size now that he & Rya will play wrestle a little bit. He loves it when the movie "Car's" is on. He laughs at the part where Lightening McQueen scares the tractors. He really likes Garyn's RC cars & any kind of toy bike. He's doing amazing with his eating. He is at the point now that he wants real food. He'll still eat the baby jar food but gets super excited when he sees that I have real food. We now buy him the Little Graduate meals. He loves them & it will make 2-3 meals for him. I've been having trouble with him at the night the past few nights. He's woken up at very odd hours & wants to play. I changed his bedtime routine tonight & we'll see if it works. He's a very sweet & happy little man! He's always smiling & laughing. He's finally starting to cuddle with me. He'll put his head on my shoulder sometimes when I hold him. He is definitely a Daddy's boy! He loves his Mommy but the look on his face everytime Garyn gets home from work is so precious! He was a big surprise but we are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with this amazing & sweet & handsome little boy!

We're so very thankful for both our little miracle babies. They are a handful at times but they are so sweet, funny & wonderful! I can't imagine life without them. They bring so much happiness to our lives!
