Ryenn's 2nd Birthday

The cake...pooh pops out of the honey pot!

This year we had a Winnie the Pooh themed party. He has become her latest obsession. (i would have done kai lan, but she is still too new and there aren't enough party supplies yet) We had it at the fair grounds near the duck ponds. She was more excited about those ducks than any of the presents or other festivities. We even had bread crust (from the tea sandwiches i made) to feed them with. We almost couldn't lure her away from the edge of the pond.

Pinata busting time

Papa Stan and Grandma Ida saved the day when they brought her present. A very large stand alone slide. She thought it was wonderful. She was so busy between the slide and the ducks that I had to open all of her presents on my own!!! I guess at 2 you don't care much for sitting still and opening clothes!! She did however wander her way to me when she heard a noisy toy being unwrapped.

1) singing happy birthday 2) she was shy when we started, but got used to it 3) found something noisy enough to be explored

1) helping momma with one 2) found the kai lan music maker/projector 3) using her ridiculous nunley rhythm to dance it!

(I realize that this post was forever in my edit file......sorry for that. I was being lazy!)

Where did the time go!?

Believe it or not, Ryenn is about to celebrate her second birthday!! I don't know when she changed from the squawking, wrinkly, crying newborn into the fascinating, animated, monster that she is today. It happened much to quickly.



She has her own special personality. She thinks she is a ninja. She makes an adorable pirate. She can be very demanding, and she loves to use the word "now." Then she does a 360 and is generous. She gives big, slobbery kisses on the cheek. She even says "I love you momma (and daddy, too)."



Ryenn is currently in denial about the upcoming baby. If we ask her if the baby is in mommy's tummy, she will deny in every way possible. About a week ago she gave the baby bump a kiss and said, "I love you baby tummy." It was the cutest thing ever, and a moment I will never forget!
