Dinner time with the younger Ryans!

Avery, not one to miss out on anything, enjoying her "puffs" as an appetizer! She loves these things but sure makes a face that would lead one to believe otherwise!!!



Now, its time to get down to business! Mommie is feeding Riggs 'cause he's a picky eater! Tonight's fare was rice cereal with yet another new veggie . . . green beans!!



As is obvious, Avery enjoys combining frolic with dinner! And, the squeals she makes are really precious. It seems that she fills her little life with an abundance of enthusiasm and is clearly a delight!



That is, until you tell her that dinner's over! The look of consternation is incredible!!



But, with a wet paper towel in hand, she accepts the end of the meal and proceeds to clean both her face and hands. Now really, how cute is that??



Not many photo ops for Riggs while he was eating . . . he was mostly fussy! But, dessert is his at last. A frozen slice of peach in his munchkin sucky thing. In the background, you can see that Avery is busy with her slice of peach!!



Such darlings!! Dearie's Darlings!

Taunt Clair and Avery visiting for a while



The conversation those two were having was delightful . . . that is, until Avery silently began to spittie up all over her Taunt Clair!! I'm still confused as to how it is that Avery retains her weight and energies with all the spitting up she does? Maybe she just needs less food???

Bouncing baby boy!

This evening was quite entertaining. On arriving, I discovered Avery having a grand time in Taunte Clair's arms. Riggs was getting his afternoon workout in the Johnny-Jumper and having an even better time than Avery! Now that he's discovered his vocal cords, he definitely puts them to good use with his utterances . . . each one punctuated with his own sweetness!



Riggs' workouts are a little lop-sided since he prefers to jump from his left foot!



On closer inspection, he's wondering why Abigail is hanging around while he's trying to entertain his Dearie!!

Suffice to say, once the workout was complete, it was definitely time for a little patty-cake with Dearie. On each "put it in the pan" he would laugh so good that I thought I saw his tooth breaking skin so I thought I'd get that on video.



Well, as the video demonstrates, he obviously prefers patty-cake!!
