The temps have been in the 50's here lately and it's so awesome! We've been trying to play in the backyard more lately before it gets too cold, so here's a few more pictures.
My girl, just chillin. She doesn't have her glasses on in these pictures because we lost them temporarily that evening.
Swinging!
Underdog! I enjoy giving underdogs SO much, you have no idea. And I'm not kidding either! I will never forget how I felt when I was pregnant with Mackenzie and about to burst. Rylan was swinging and wanted an underdog, but I was so huge that I could barely move without something hurting or being short of breath. It was the worst feeling in the world and I wasn't sure if I'd ever be back to normal. So now that I can give underdogs with no ill effects, I could do them all day long! And both kids would swing all day long if I let them, it's great!
In other news, I ordered Mackenzie some new glasses today. We got the Lafont ones, so check out the previous post for that link. They were super cute and light, and should be much more durable. I can't wait to get them in!
Here are some funny things that Rylan has said or done lately.
-This morning, I woke up at 5:30am because I heard a noise. It was Rylan, he was awake and going to the bathroom. Like a good mom, I pretended I didn't hear anything. He went back to his room, but I could hear him mumbling stuff, so I knew he was not going back to sleep. About 15 minutes later, I heard Mackenzie start to wake up and just like that, I hear clear as day, "Oh, I hear Kenzie, I better go check her". It was so cute. He marched into her room and soon, I hear Mackenzie just squealing with joy. I went to her room to find he had filled her crib with toys and was climbing in there with her. It was so cute, I let them play in there together while I showered.
This evening, while I was making dinner, Rylan suddenly ran into the kitchen and announced that it was "free-thiry, it's hoppin time". (translation: It's three-thirty, it's hopping time) He then proceeds to hop around the kitchen until, "oh, it's thiry-nine-seben, I'm tired" (thirty-nine-seven). He's getting so creative, making things up, it's hilarious. I love to see his little mind playing make-believe and coming up with stories and ideas, it's just so awesome to watch him develop.
I found $2 on the ground outside a store tonight, but then smelled of cigarette smoke. So instead of putting them in my wallet, I left them sit on the center console of the car. Rylan asked what I was doing, so I told them they smelled like icky smoke and he replied, "oh, you better leave them there, or Daddy is going to say, 'hey it smells like gunk (skunk)' and he going to wonder how that happen. He going to think there was a lion here." What???? Seriously, love it!
Oh, and one more thing! I found something that Mackenzie doesn't like..... raspberries. Nope, she doesn't like fresh raspberries. Today was the first time she's had raspberries (I know, sad) but I don't buy them much because I hate the seeds and a tiny container is usually way too expensive around here. But I digress... We had some tonight so I cut one up and she tried each piece, but spit them all back out. I couldn't believe it, but at least I know she can taste now. I was starting to think she would just eat anything!
I tried these boots on her the other day, and she LOVES them! It was harder to walk and they are a little too big, but she thought it was soooo cool!
And aren't these SUPER cute!
Here's the adorable case and little cloth that came with them.
