My Boys are Silly!

Ryan has the cheesiest grins sometimes. They are too funny! In this picture, I was getting him to show off his first pair of jeans (fall weather is here!).

Here's Ryan laughing again. This time he was wiggling around on the floor to play with some balloons, but he kept pulling up his shirt to show off his belly! (Actually, it was more like he was trying to chew on his shirt--teething, you know.)

Ryan has also developed a funny way of soothing himself to sleep. He used to do this little head roll from side to side, once in a while, as he was falling asleep. Now, he does it for minutes at a time--quite vigorously--anytime and anywhere he's trying to fall asleep! He does it in his crib, in the swing, and even in our arms! The best was the other night when he started smiling as he did the sleepy head roll--very silly!

You know, Kevin never played with his Diego doll/pillow too much until recently. Actually, he kept trying to take Andrea's Dora one, but she wouldn't let him have it, and kept reminding him he has a Diego for himself. Finally, Kevin reluctantly gave up and started using his Diego. Now, Diego is frequently Kevin's companion when it's time to relax on the couch. He even shares his blankie with Diego! The other day, he was sharing his "picnic" with Diego, too.

Right now, my kids are fascinated with the large cardboard boxes that I receive my Nutrisystem food in each month. They use them for decoration, toy storage, vehicles, hideouts, etc. This month, I turned their boxes into little houses with "roofs" and "doors". Kevin made me laugh by suddenly popping out of his roof with a rendition of "Pop Goes the Weasel"! (When I laughed the first time, he did it about 20 more times in a row, of course.)
