Let's try this

I'm trying out a new app for blogging from my iPhone since I can't seem to sit down at the computer long enough to blog at home. I'm even gonna try to upload a pic or two on this post...here's hoping!!!

Brittyn vs. Cupcake

Brittyn got her turn with the cupcake...it was mostly cake with a little bit of icing but she made sure to find it and taste it. Some of these pictures are a little blurry but that's because I was trying to take pictures with my phone while trying NOT to let her have too much cake in one bite while making sure she was swallowing the food in her mouth before she shoved another fistful of cake into her mouth. She meant she was gonna have her cake, and she did. When it was all over and everyone was cleaned up, I realized that this is just a precursor to what she will do on her first birthday. Smash cake, beware!!!

Not to be outdone...

Not to be outdone by Ryan getting all the cupcake glory, Brittyn had to have her chance at a cupcake as well today. Thankfully, Ryan didn't eat it all and I asked her and made sure that she was finished with her portion of the treat. Then I sat down on the floor with Brittyn and let her at it. You see, while Ryan was eating her cupcake, Brittyn was pulling herself up on the chair and looking longingly up at Ryan, hoping for some small morsel of goodness. She got her chance.

I thought it would be cute to let Ryan feed Brittyn, but that didn't last long. Once the cake was on the floor where she could reach it, Brittyn didn't hesitate to get her hands in it. Deliciousness ensues.

Another cupcake blog...

Kylia's birthday is this week and she got a surprise at work today. Cake Shop Cupcakes!!! I have missed them so much, I haven't been back in to purchase them since they upped the price of the small cakes from $1 to $2 and the large ones from $2 to $3. I have my pride, after all, and I'm just quietly boycotting them until they realize the error of their ways and drop their price again. However, I will not refuse when someone offers a cupcake to me, I'm prideful, not stupid!!!

Today, Kylia called and offered a cupcake for Ryan, one with strawberry jelly in the middle. Ryan was very excited. She really loves the CARS movies right now and when I told her she was getting a strawberry cupcake, she asks me "is it a McQueen red cupcake?" She wasn't too happy when I said "no" but she got over it as soon as we got home and she started to eat her cupcake. In true Ryan fashion, she continues to be very dainty and clean as she can be as she enjoys her cupcakes. She just gets more "Ryan" every time. Too funny.

I love sleeping babies...

I love MY sleeping babies...especially when they go to sleep on time at home each night, giving me time to blog and do dishes and laundry (ok, maybe not laundry...haha...). But these pics were taken last week by Grandma J and they are just too precious. Shows both of them sound asleep and also shows how alike they are, sleeping in very similar positions and very soundly at that. Just goes to show that when a baby is tired, she will get the rest whenever and however she needs to. Enough said.

Cooking queen...

Ok, so I guess lots of these next few posts are gonna be from the birthday party. There are a lot of zip folders on my desktop and I don't know what they are until I open them up and try to organize them. Either way, they are of my girls and I love them and they are too cute.

Ryan loves pretzels. There isn't much more that I can say about that statement. After this birthday party I think she will love them a whole lot more because she got to dip them in icing and sprinkle them with candy!!! Who wouldn't love that?!!!

Furture Party girl...

Brittyn was also a party girl at Juliette's birthday party. While she didn't get the chance to dip pretzels or decorate cupcakes, she had a good time posing for the camera. There is even a shot or two of her trying crawl. At that time, she was just getting started and would mostly rock back and forth, but as of today she is crawling circles around the house, pulling herself up and cruising a few steps by holding on to the couch. She is growing like a weed, she's got two teeth and is coming into her own personality. Now, she is doing a lot on her own but she certainly has a great mentor in her big sister. They are like yin and yang but they compliment each other so well. I love them so much, they are so much fun!!!
