Riley has been always been pretty creative...I think she gets it from my side of the family (haha) and since I've been working on the cards and mini albums the past couple weeks, Riley has gained more and more interest in scrapbooking -- so she sat down one evening and scrapped with me while I "worked."

She comes up with the cutest pages and even though a "professional" scrapper may see it as strewn together with glue and globs of sparkles, I see the making of a lifetime scrapper with an eye for detail. She's pretty amazing and one day, when she finishes the book she's on, I hope I get to share it with you on this blog.

And then there is Ronan. Ah, Ronan. He's still a little crazy (guess what side that comes from...LOL), but everyday, he shocks me. He's growing so fast and I'm so fortunate to be able to watch him progress and see the world through his big brown eyes.
He's talking more. He asks the very minute Riley gets out of the car, "whay-er wiley aht?" I say, "Riley is at school." He then repeats, saying, "Wiley aht skoo." Months ago when I feared the boy wouldn't talk, well, he's making me eat my own words. Some things, I understand. Others, not so much. BUT, we are working on it everyday and soon, I guess I'll be one of those moms that says, "When he was little he never talked and now I can't get him to shut-up." Let me be that mom.

So the headband. What is that? Well, crafty Riley decided to make herself one with paper I had given her and Ronan can't be without anything Riley has, so she had to make him one, too. He wore it in the car all the way to school and then for hours after we got back from dropping Riley off. He looked cute, especially when it would push his ears out to the side...not like Michael Phelps ears...just a smidge.
The other child that I get to see often is Thalia and MAN, the girl is growing like a weed. She's absolutely precious and each time I get to see her is a time when I squeeze her meatball legs and enjoy what a happy baby she is. She's sitting...she drools...she rolls over left and right...and she loves Ronan. She follows him with her eyes and Ronan is never one to not include her in things he does. He calls her "mah baby." He just adores her.
Look at those big brown eyes...and those folds on her arms. How cute is that?

And how can I forget to mention Baby Ryan. He's my friend, Joanna's, new little man. He's 9 weeks now and although Joanna claims that he's getting "fatter," I beg to differ. Let's just say that his legs no longer hang from his little bum like toothpicks. He's so cute and looks more and more like his dad everytime we see him. Soon, he'll be up and running trying to keep up with his brother, Thalia and Ronan...

And no, seeing these babies does not make me want one, thank you very much. LOL.
