New Game, New Stats...

By
Leah has invented a new game we have dubbed "The Bye-Bye Game."  She brings us her shoes to put on.  She brings us her jacket to put on.  She collects ALL the keys she can find.  She straps at least one bag to her person in some way. (Any bag will do: a grocery bag, cosmetics bag, purse, diaper bag, carton of goldfish...)  Then, she marches around the house saying "Buh-Bye!  Buh-Bye!  Buh-Bye!" to everyone, and everything.  She gives bye-bye hugs and kisses.  She pets the dog.  She pretends to put the keys in the lock.  She might bang on the back door a few times.  Then, the game starts alllllll over.  This last Sunday she must have tottered around in her winter coat for a good half hour.  I love it!

She also, as you will see, has been quite a ham for the camera lately.  She likes the close-up shots, and then she likes to see the little digital image on the back of the camera and point to herself and laugh.  How funny!  

And finally, in case you were wondering what her current stats are, she had a check-up just today.  (I know, who wonders what a child's head circumference is other than his or her very own parents?  Well, guess what - I'm going to tell you anyway.)  Actually, I don't remember the exact number for that, but I know she is in the 99th percentile!  She is only 31 in. (60th percentile) and between 21-22 lbs (25th percentile) which officially makes her a living bobble head.  I just think it's funny that she was a whopping NINE POUNDS when she was born and now she's just a little peanut in comparison to other 15-month-olds.

On with the show...
Here she is strapping on her gear.





Couldn't you just eat her in this picture?


Ok, and in this picture it looks like she might eat you.



In fact, here she is making her lion noise. ("ROOAAARRR!")

After a very long day, seeing the pictures and reading about Leah's antics really made us smile. Thanks for making my day!

I LOVE HER.

That bye bye game is soooo precious. I can't believe how big and old she is! The last time I saw her she was just crawling around, not saying anything. You should put up video of her soon! I'd love to see her in action!

I agree with Jenny. I love her. And she is big. And I want to see her!

I'm getting excited for the fun stuff of the future with our little guy. Although I'm still completely enjoying his cute little baby self:)

A Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

By
Ok. So, I haven't updated the blog in QUITE some time.  And I have received subtle and not-so-subtle hints that certain loved ones far away would like an update!  I will work on uploading some recent pictures and events! I feel it is only fair to give James a dedicated post, as I never posted pics here when our sweet new little guy was first born.  As you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around here.  The good kind of crazy...  But crazy. James was born 11/27/15 - almost a whole month earlier than his due date!  He was 6 pounds, 10 ounces.  He had a little stay in the NICU while his lungs strengthened and healed, and then we brought him home in time for Christmas.  His first name, James, is Ryan's dad's name (and Ryan's middle name.)  His middle name, Lawrence, was my Grandpa's name.  He has two awesome patron saints and namesakes!  He is now almost 6 months, is rolling, babbling, laughing, and starting to eat...

Sam's Blog Debut

By
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it!  The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family.  The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks.  We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog!  Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun.  The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days.  We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Marguerite!

By
Ryan's grandmother is celebrating a special birthday this summer, and in honor of that, her whole family got together to celebrate.  All her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were there!  It was quite a party.  Our boys got to meet Grandma Gerrick for the first time which was so special.  We also went to a baseball game, the aquarium, swam in the pool, saw the ocean, and ate yummy seafood.  Despite the fact that we were recovering from summer sickies, it was a lovely time.
