Ryan's Pout

I just thought Ryan's little pout was kinda cute.

Ryan Smiling

I didn't think babies could smile this early, but Ryan seems to do it all the time. Either that - or he's got a lot of gas...

Twins

Our friends bought Ryan this spaceship sleeper because Ben and their son have the exact same one. Ben's is just a tad bigger.

I think Ryan is a little fearful of his life with Ben so close. Looks like Ryan's thinking, "Don't roll over and crush me, Big Brother!"

No, Ben is not trying to strangle Ryan - but I think Ryan might think so.

Ryan's Visitors... so far

Molle's Mom and Dad

Auntie Jill

Uncle Charlie

Cousin Elizabeth (with her fake glasses)

Cousin Lily

Jim's Mom & Dad

Big Brother Ben

As you can see, Ben is determined to make his brother laugh or smile. It hasn't worked yet, but I'm sure he won't stop until it does. And when it does, I know Ben will only want to do it more!!

Meet Ryan

Baby Polzin's Nursery

Here are some pics of the baby's nursery. It's very bright, but hopefully calming. Each picture on the wall is a letter from the alphabet - obviously we couldn't fit all 26 letters. Grandma Mostek found the comforter for the bed which matches the room great! So yes, we can still have visitors - and you won't have to sleep with the baby if you stay with us. We'll put the baby in our room!

Ben's Room

For those of you who haven't seen Ben's car/truck-themed room, here are some pictures of it. I was taking pics of the nursery, so I decided to document this phase of Ben's room too.

Quilt and pillow case made by Grandma Polzin. Those are real pictures of Ben's cars on the quilt and a picture of Ben on the pillow case. Ben now only wants to sleep on that pillow - not the one with a regular pillow case on it!

Ben singing "Ho! Ho! Ho!" (a day care song)

More Christmas Presents

Ben's helicopter from G'ma and G'pa Mostek. They also got him the Policeman uniform below. Ben was writing out tickets and locking people up left and right!
