...and we're 2!!!

Two 2 year olds in the house can be entertaining, frustrating, and hilarious all within the same 5 minutes! I remember looking at my newborn babies, thinking toddlerhood is soo far away, but we are already there. I can't believe it. I heard this saying the other day, "the days seem long, but the years are quick". So true. Some days seem to drag on, but in the whole scheme of things, it is such a short time that they are little. Even through my most trying and frustrating days, I try to cherish these moments, because my 2 little blessings are literally growing before my eyes!

We had a Shrek themed party for the b-day. We invited their 3 best friends, who we get together with at least once or twice a week. It is so fun to watch toddlers with their besties. They hug and giggle and five seconds later are fighting over the same toy!! They really develop a sense of relationships at such young ages. They had a blast playing together, eating tons of cake and wearing their shrek ears, even though 3 out of the 5 kids had diarrhea, it was still a success! We also got to enjoy nana Karen coming to visit us for the week!

Rylan's verbal skills and vocabulary have really increased over the past month or two. He repeats everything we say, I mean EVERYTHING!! He doesn't miss a beat! His favorite phrases right now are, "I love you sunshine" (we are into loving everything), "sissy's funny" and "I did it". He is hilarious to listen to! He is ALL boy - busy, destructive, loves to build, is obssessed with B-ball (thanks to daddy), loves cars and airplanes - but, he still has a very caring and tender spirit.

Kamryn is a little sweetheart/spit-fire!! She loves to cuddle with mama and is always aware of where I am at. She is a big show off, especially for her brother. She loves making him laugh, which is quite often. Her fashion opinions have alreay started. She picks what shoes she wants to wear, even if it doesn't go with the outfit, I let her choose! We are slowly easing them into potty training, and Kamryn has gone potty on the big girl potty 3 times. Who knew that would be so exciting for us parents! Even though our interest in the big potty has passed for now, we will try again later! I love my amazing job, being a mom!

Here are some random pics and photos from the birthday party.
