Dentist

Ryland had a couple cavities, so he had a little bit of dental work done today.  It was a delight for me, because he got laughing gas.  Hahaha!  There were lots of laughs for me, too.  Our trip home was filled with funny conversation, drooling, and a lot of funny faces.

Better with Age?

I found this cool app that ages pictures.  We had fun seeing what we would look like in a few years.  So funny!

Ticklish

Ridley is a giggle monster and loves to be tickled.  One of my favorite tickle spots is right behind her ear.  She laughs and comes back for more.

Playing in the Crib

These two are the best of buddies.  I found Reed in Ridley's crib after her nap.  She thought this was hilarious, and they both laughed with joy.

4 months

Ridley is already 4 months, and it seems like the time is flying by way too fast.  She is very happy and loves to laugh.  She has started chewing on her hands a good bit and drooling, so we are expecting a tooth pretty soon.  She still is not a fan of tummy time, but she is holding her head up and rolling from her belly to her back.  She usually spits up every time she is on her stomach, so we try to plan accordingly.  She is a delight to have in our lives, and we love watching her grow and learn.

Laughter

I love the sound of laughter, especially when it is my children.  Today, I had the pleasure of hearing Ridley's first laugh.  It made my heart smile with joy!  

Hats

We heard the boys laughing hysterically in the bathroom.  We peeped in to find them sitting in the floor playing with hats.  Ryland had on a baseball cap, and Reed was wearing my floppy hat.  Reed would take it off and give it to Ryland so he could wear two hats.  They both thought this was hilarious.  Oh how we wish these sweet moments could go on for a little while longer.

Funny faces

What is the best way to end dinner time? A bit of funny faces.

Mommy and Daddy
Reed's turn

And finally it's Ryland. Everyone leaves the table with a big smile and laughing. I love it!

Playing together

One of my favorite sites to date. I was in the kitchen cleaning up breakfast, and I glanced over to see the boys playing. Ryland was showing Reed how to play with some toys, and Reed was watching and listening intently. They giggled and played, and it completely melted my heart. This little moment made me so happy they are close in age.

Too funny

I was in need of some new glasses, so I packed Ryland and we headed out to find some. I hardly ever wear glasses, but when my contacts are out, I am blind. I thought I better go ahead and get a new pair before I was in a situation. I found a pair that I really love, and the frames were in stock. "In about an hour" they would be mine.

I never knew getting a new pair of glasses could be so fun. Ryland wanted to touch everything, and he laughed hysterically at me when I tried on a pair. I put a pair of kids glasses on him, and he couldn't get them off quick enough. I tried to snap a picture about 5 times and this is the best shot. He looks like a little Chris Farley.
Forget the bubble machine. Ryland just figured out how to dump out the bubble solution. He then decided to roll around in it. Garage floor + bubbles = tons of fun
He was a slippery little thing, but he had so much fun. I love to hear him laugh!

Playing in the trash

OK, don't pass judgement yet. I want to explain what was going on first. I was adding some finishing touches on some floral arrangements, and Ryland wanted to be right there with me. I sat him down to play with an old phone book that we were throwing away. He was laughing and having a great time that soon included playing with my flower packaging and boxes. There was not any nasty trash, so he was completely fine. He had a blast tearing and waving the paper around.
I do admit that this picture is pretty redneck. No, he doesn't have on pants and yes, he is playing in the trash.
Look how happy he is. Good trashy fun!
