Playing the backyard

Isn't he so precious?

Alyssa dressed herself.  :D  Actually she is usually very good about picking her outfits but she will ask if we are going to stay home and if the answer is yes then sky's the limit! 

Ryan is now 10 months and a week and is finally crawling! His fifth tooth is still playing hide and seek with us and has been for a few weeks. Dr. Song said it would be out within a week or so and has yet to arrive. For the first time in three kids I think I understand what 'sleep deprivation is" He has been teething and a little gassy at night and it has been waking him up and of course me.  It is different than waking to eat it is waking and fussing, tossing and turning, fussing, and when I pick him up he puts his head on my shoulder and won't take it off so I know he is tired.  I called his holistic PD and she recommended chamomila and lo and behold it worked!  Three nights in a row and his fussiness is GONE!  Love homeopathy!

He still scoots here and there but he does a full on crawl.  This past weekend he was holding onto a chair while standing there and took one hand off the chair reached for Rob's hand and then took a few steps while still holding onto Rob's hand and the chair and then walked right into Daddy's arms OMG!  He is going to be walking before we know it!  The little guy that I take care of just started walking (walks 45% of the time and crawls the other part)and he is 17 months old.  I understand kids are all different but I don't think we are prepared!  Guess we will start baby proofing the house.

Alyssa is doing really well in school and at her dance classes.  She is taking her normal dance class (the one that she has been in since she was 18 months old) and then she takes one at school so she can participate in the Church/preschool Spring Sing.  This one is going to be really cute!
