Ryan riding the quad

Well we got this 'Lil Quad' for Eric for his 1st birthday. He was a little intimidated by it- until he was about 2ish. Ryan- not so much! He rides it, stands while riding it, so funny! He does have issues holding the button in, he keeps jerking it, and doesn't really get too far- especially when going up hill!!! Then he gets interested in something else...

Eric, Carly and Ryan dancing!

Eric loves to dance, and he found a partner! This is Eric and Carly gettin' jiggy wit it!!! And trying to get Ryan dancing on video- he gets down too!!!

Batting Cages

Eric found a fantastic 3 year old batting cage. He is pretty smart, I would have never thought of this!

Opening Presents

Ryan is able to listen to simple directions now, it is a lot of fun. AND so is opening presents!!!

Helping Mummy

Eric is a good little helper!

Hockey

I am no hockey player, but I am really trying to sharpen the boys skills!!! We are planning on professionals here!

Swinging

Here is Eric swinging on a rope swing at Ryan's party.

Birthday

We started out Ryan's birthday party at Springs Gym- a place where the kids could utilize all the equipment at a gymnastics gym. Here is Ryan jumping on a trampoline with Sunny!

Playing

"Sweet Home Alabama", Monster Trucks, Steelers, and brothers! It can't get any better than this!!!:)

Spiderman

I have tried to capture this song, but he always goofs off! I guess what do I expect from a 3 year old?:) Anyway, I got a good one!!!

Pickles

I think it is safe to say that Ryan does not like pickles...

Dancing

'We' don't always focus on eating when it is meal time. Eric has moved himself to a little picnic table that my friend Christie gave us, so he doesn't really eat at the big table anymore. I have decided to pick and choose my battles, and right now, this one is one I choose not to pick! BUT the problem is that he doesn't tend to stay seated for long periods of time- which we are working on! But one night he decided to get up and dance, and I just had to record him! Probably not sending the best message, but oh well...

Pushing Ryan

It is really fun now that the boys are able to play with each other! Sure makes it easier on me too!:)

roller blading

Ok, so Roller Blades probably weren't the smartest choice for Santa, but we will get there!!!

Walking

So Ryan took his first steps in the beginning of November, but was sidetracked with his surgery. Here he is a few weeks after his surgery, taking more steps!

Wrestle Me

Ryan figures that this is the only 'person' that he can win wrestling against...
