milestones

The past few weeks have been pretty amazing! Luke is talking more and more. He repeats words to us after we say them and seems to know all his colors and shapes! He is so smart and so much fun to watch. The backyard and Deuce are his two most favorite things in the entire world. Mini cars are also up there. He is becoming more and more affectionate with me as well. He loves to get hugs and blow kisses after we say I love you. When Luke gets a bobo or hurt he runs to me for a hug and I try to make it last as long as possible. Usually it's longer then Luke wants but I can't help myself.

Ryan is full of personality and loves to be talked to. He smiles at everyone and anything (including Yo Gaba Gaba). Ryan can roll and scooch across the floor on his belly. He loves being on the activity mat to "work out". He is an outgoing baby but only when mommy is in clear view. I would be lying if I said I didn't like that :) Ryan has a very unique smile. It starts on the right side of his mouth and then expands to a full on grin. He is absolutely precious.

So far, my most favorite memory of Luke and Ryan was about 2 weeks ago when Ryan and Luke were on the floor together and both laughing at each other. It was so adorable! I have no idea what was so funny (possibly mommy's hair and outfit that day) but they were cracking up! It was awesome for me to see and I caught a little glimpse of the future. These two little guys are going to have fun!

7/28/09 was Ryan's baptism. He is officially a little saint like his brother :) Ryan (to Scott's horror) wore the same dress Luke did and that I did as well. Nothing like tradition! We had a great party back at the house with all our family and close friends. It was a great day!

Everyday is full of new beginings for us and I am totally wiped out by the time I finally hit the sack. Yep, I can honestly say I have never been happier :)
