bird feeders and d-day

yesterday we finally made our bird feeders. ryan did such an excellent job at following instructions. i was simply impressed with her 'listening ears'.




spreading the peanut butter...






she tasted the peanut butter and started spitting..guess no pb and j's for ry!



this is her fave part...sprinkling the bird seed




she was very into concentrating




we took the extra food to sprinkle on the ground....



the finished product! a nice pine cone covered in peanut butter, seed, and apples


we had tremendous fun doing this project. people would be surprised what a 2 yr old can do activity wise.

lately i have been teaching ryan that she is 2. i figured everyone would be asking her soon and i thought i would equip her with the knowledge. she even tries to hold out two fingers. last night, tucker put her ellie on her head...she turned to me and said "mommy, there's a ellie on my head". okay, she speaks in sentences, but sometimes they aren't as correct as 'there's a ellie on my head'.

today, we went to the dr. i took ryan with me...in the beginning she would cry if anyone got near me at a dr visit...so, i normally take her to tucker's work and she runs around the office like she runs it. i tried taking her a couple months ago...she started to get bored so i took her to dr. mann's office and she watched movies in his office. it was pretty funny cause when she walked into the building she was trying to go see him! ha ha. the kid loves her dr! however, today, she listened WONDERFULLY! she never disobeyed me...now, how do i continue this pattern??

everyone keeps telling me oh wait for the terrible twos...maybe ryan's is going to be the terrible three's or something. she is kind, polite, and loves to chat with everyone. don't get me wrong, there are moments when i don't understand why she is screaming, but she is good more than a fit thrower. (i would like to thank GOD...).

the dr visit went well. i haven't gained any weight...i have stayed at 35 lbs that looks like 89 lbs. he isn't going to be in the office next week so my pre-op is on monday the 23rd. surgery on the 26th. i tried convincing him to stay in clinton next thursday so he can deliver baby, but he said no. BOOOOO! i got the infamous words of...SLOW DOWN. i simply can't believe this baby is going to finally be here!! YAY!
