Baby Ryan

As I was looking through my blog today I realized that it is a great resource for remembering things with Connor. I am HORRIBLE about writing things down and documenting when things happen....HORRIBLE! So, I was really enjoying reading through all the old blog entries that I have posted over the past few years. So, I have decided that I am going to continue with the tradition and hope to create some lasting memories in my blog. I am trying not to pressure myself as to how often I blog so maybe I will stick with it this time! We shall see.

Well, since the last time we wrote alot has happened. Connor is 2 1/2 yrs old now and runs everywhere. I laughed when I read my blog about Connor starting to crawl and I predicted he would skip walking and go straight to running....turns out I was right! He is a very sweet and polite little man. For his 2nd birthday, Connor got a big boy bed. He LOVES it and it so proud of it. He slept great from Day 1. What a big boy. He attends a Mother's Day Out on Tues/Thurs from 9-2pm. I love those 5 hours to get things done around the house or town but they FLY by.
He has made some pretty awesome friends at school and really enjoys learning new things.
He is super energetic and athletic. He plays basketball like an all-star! He attends swim lessons once a week and can swim across the pool to the side and pull himself out!
































On Jan. 31st, 2011 at 2:28pm we welcomed our 2nd sweet boy into this world. Ryan Collier McNicoll weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces, and was 18 1/2 inches long! He was a carbon copy of his brother at birth only he has brown hair. He has been a complete joy. He loves to hear his brother's voice and often looks around when he hears him (you always know where Connor is because he is so loud). He is smiling all the time. Even at night when he wakes up and wants to be fed he will give you a little smile when you go to get him out of his crib. What a sweet and patient boy. He has rolled over from his tummy to his back twice!! I just can't believe how fast these things happen. He is already 2 months old and it feels like he was just born. He is sleeping fairly well at night. The last few nights have been 8pm-2am-6am. I am NOT complaining about those hours. :) Plus, he goes right back to sleep like a champ. Now....if he would only take naps during the day without being held or in the car............... :) That is a work in progress but it is getting better. Here are a few pics of our sweet new baby boy!
