Let's Shake it!

Santa Trip

We went to the mall the other day to visit Santa. We forgot our stroller, so we decided to rent one of the fire engines because Riley and Ryker are getting too big to pack around everywhere. As soon as we put Rily in the Fire engine he immediately grabbed the steering wheel and started twisting it with a huge grin. We set Ryker in and the seat belt was broke. So Ryker grabbed onto Riley's seat and did these pelvis thrust things so he could look around Riley and see what was going on. As you can see, he also had a huge smile. They laughed and giggled all throughout the mall. Gage and Trei contributed to that. At the end of the trip Ryker was sleeping in the front seat. Ryker and Riley sat on Gage and Trei's lap when they went to see Santa. The twins didn't cry but they didn't know what to think of the big man in the red suit.

Daddy's crawling boys

Ryker and Riley love being around their daddy. About a month ago, you could ask Ryker where his dadda is and he would point at Tim and say dadda. It was so cute! It also made Tim feel really good. Now that Ryker and Riley are doing the army crawl through out the house, they follow their dadda everywhere. He can't even take a shower by himself. Ryker's favorite place is the dog dish. He loves spreading every piece of Pixie and Tinker Bell's food through out the kitchen. Riley followed him into the kitchen during one of his messes, and Riley ended up eating a piece of dog food. I figure it is a cheaper way to have them learn to feed themselves, just kidding. Riley is getting more and more curious and daring. We think he will be the first to actually crawl, because he gets up on his knees a lot more. Boy, oh boy, are we going to have our hands full when they are running full speed.

In love with Oreo's

Ryker loves Oreo's just like his mom. I normally don't have them all over my face when I am through. Ryker and Riley eat just about anything. Riley is a little pickier than Ryker, and Riley still gags on some textures. This picture on the left is Ryker trying to help his daddy feed him. Instead of helping his daddy he makes a huge mess because Ryker's hands are out of control, especially when a spooon is involved. Tim said that the food was all over Ryker, the counter, the chair, and the floor. Ryker was as happy as could be. Ryker and Riley still rely on us to feed them, but eventually they'll feed themselves.
