Corn on the Cob!

Tonight we gave Ry a full ear of corn.  She thought she was hot stuff.  Seeing these pictures prompted me to clean off my fridge.  It also allowed us to display Ry's first artwork from school.  This was the first time she sat at the big kid table to do crafts that weren't prompted by a major holiday!  Our little Bug is growing up!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, how about a little Friday Flashback: Looking at this video I'm shocked at how dark Ry's hair was. She's such a little blondie now.

Why Kipu Loves Ryann

Lately in the morning all Ryann wants to do is be held.  She sits on the floor and cries while I finish getting ready for work, and continues to cry while I make her lunch for the day.  The only thing I have found to keep her occupied while making her lunch (and happy) is playing in the fridge.  I know, shame on me for giving in, but sometimes it's just not worth the fight. 

I think Kipu really loves Ry's adventures in the fridge.  Luckily so far Ry hasn't managed to open any of the containers to feed her four legged sister. 

 

 

 

 

And a few from dinner tonight just because!  :)  Oh yes, and Ry hasn't enjoyed wearing a bib these days.  Sigh.  Another battle lost my Team "We are the Parents"!

 

 

Ry is FAMOUS!!

Dan and I were in quite a bind last week when Ry couldn't go to daycare during my first week of work.  Luckily both the grammy's picked up a day, and AK spent her day off Friday with Ry - which resulted in Ry getting to blog over on AK's dormant blog.  You can read all about the first half of her day (and a sentence about the rest) HERE!

Zoe's Birthday

We had so much fun today celebrating Zoe's first birthday.  I can't believe that this means in less than one month we will be doing the same for Ryann.  Ry got to see lots of her friends.  One thing became very apparent Ry has the worst case of stranger anxiety out of all her friends.  She loves to talk, and wave at people, but being held by them, oh.no.  Not a chance.  Z's Mom did an awesome job with her party. 

Lot's of homemade DIY stuff.  I mean, come on, check out those awesome rainbow fruit on a sticks.  I can't even imagine having the patience to do 3 of them!  Zoe was a total ham, and would say hi, and go to anyone.  I'll leave most of the cake smash pictures for Z's Mom to post about, but I will say this, Z did not dissappoint, and her Yellow Z cake was awesome. 

Happy Birthday Zoe!! 

Ry had lots of fun playing in the tub with her pail and beach ball she got as a party favor.  Oh, and the sunglasses she is so generously sharing, yup, she stole those from the party favor buckets.  Oh, Ryann. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"UH OH"

I can't believe my little girl is on month away from being a year old. It is amazing how fast time has passed. One of Ry's current favorite things to do is to drop something and say "uh oh". Of course, once the camera is rolling she does it a whole lot less. Here are a few recent clips trying to capture her saying it.
Yes, Kipu has very much learned to appreciate Ry's UhOh's from her high chair.

Father's Day

Father's Day was another busy holiday for us in the Kobs house... but hey, that's life, we have amazing families and are blessed that we are able to see them all.  Ry woke up around 7:15 on Father's Day morning, so after feeding her a bottle in her room (and letting Dan sleep in) Ry and I headed downstairs to make breakfast for Dan!  I offered breakfast in bed, but apparently Dan doesn't like the idea of crumbs in the bed...  Maybe I should have explained to him that since we let our dirty, hairy, slobbering dog sleep in our bed, there would be no crumbs since she would clean them all up!  ;)  French toast, bacon, and raspberries were on the breakfast menu, and we were also making Dan funfetti cake - his fav.  

While prepping breakfast, I ran downstairs to grab the bag containing all the father's day cards (and a gift for Dan) out of my secret hiding spot, the floor of the car.  I got upstairs and went to fill out Dan's only to realize the card I had picked out for him was not among the 6 cards in the bag.  {Insert crying Momma here}.  How could I not have a card for Dan for father's day?  I felt, and still do feel awful about it.  Turns out it is not a good idea to shop with a 10 month old & her taggie in your arms, especially one that LOVES paper, and tries to grab every card on the rack.  

As I was getting ready to throw the french toast on the griddle I heard the TV on upstairs, so I brought Ryann upstairs to smother Dan with love, and then they came downstairs so we could all enjoy breakfast together.

After breakfast we headed over to visit my parent's.  Hot dogs, hamburgers and sausage were on the Sunday dinner menu, Dan's favorite. Sunday dinner was a full house, and Ry got to see and play with lots of family including her little probably soon to be bigger cousin Toby.  By around 1:00 Ry was really starting to get cranky, and a nap was much needed.  Since we had to be at her cousin Maddi's dance recital by 3 which was over an hour away, we packed up all our stuff and headed out so Ry could sleep in the car.  She slept the entire way down, and woke up as soon as we opened the back seat to pull her out.  

Seats had been saved for us in the 3rd row with the rest of Maddi's entourage.  I panicked I didn't think there was ANY way she would sit still through the recital.  We took our seats, (near the aisle in case we needed to run her out of there) and prayed she would behave.  She did.  She was in awe watching every act.    I wish I had taken a picture but my goodness, I don't even thinks Ry blinked!  The show lasted about 50 minutes, and Ry did amazing.  While I don't think he would ever admit it, I think Dan even liked his first dance recital, and secretly can't wait until that is Ryann!  

It wasn't until we were leaving the recital that I realized it was Father's Day and I brought my point and shoot to take some pictures.  Momma fail #2 of the day.  Here are a few of Ry playing with her cousins!
