Ronan's 2nd Birthday

Ronan's birthday was back in August. I am so behind. Here is how we celebrated his birthday.

On Ronan's actual birthday, we planned to have just a small playdate at the house since it was on a weekday. He had an actual birthday party the next day. Ronan's friends came over and then he got sick. :( We didn't want him to get the other kids sick so all the kids went home.

Ronan kept saying "Where friends go?" It was so sad, but we made it a great day anyways. Here are some pictures from that day.

Ronan's Curious George cupcakes. Ronan ate a few, but we ended up throwing them away just in case he had the stomach bug and was contagious.

Ronan loved blowing out his candles. He wanted to do it over and over again. He would get so excited each time. Notice the saltine crackers on his plate. :(




So excited!!

Big Boy Bed

About three weeks before Ronan's 2nd birthday, he started climbing out of his crib. So we transitioned Ronan to a new big boy bed.

The first few nights went really well. He was exited about it and slept great. Then he realized he could get out. Then the crying at bedtime and waking up in the middle of the night started. I felt like I had a newborn again!

So we put a baby gate on his door and it has been wonderful ever since. He is back to sleeping well at night and staying in his bed.

Here are some pictures of Ronan after his first night in his new bed.

Such a big boy!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Ryan planted a watermelon plant back in May. It grew a long vine, but a month or two went by and no watermelons were growing. One day, Ryan found a tiny little watermelon growing on the vine. We were so excited. It took about a month to grow, but the other day, it was finally ready to pick and eat.

Ryan planted me some pumpkin seeds the other day as a part of his fall garden. I told him if he could grow me pumpkins, I would make him a real pumpkin pie with them.

Our one watermelon. It tasted really good too!

He also got several cantaloupes. He didn't want me to take his picture, but I was proud. :)

First Slumber Party + Mom

About a month ago (yes, I am that far behind, sorry!), we stayed in Waco for a few days. We decided to let the boys have their first slumber party together. Everything was going great until bedtime. Ronan doesn't sleep in new places ever so he was a little scared about sleeping at Mimi and Grandpa's house. So, I got stuck sleeping with two toddlers all night. It was a long night.
