Claire and Ryan

We certainly enjoyed having Aunt Mel, Uncle Stephen, Kyle, and Ryan here this weekend!!! I'll post more about our fun outings later, but for now, I'll just show how Mel and I had fun getting Claire and Ryan together!!

They have matching pajamas, so we just had to get some pictures of them matching! - And look how much different they are in size! I really couldn't get over how small Ryan is compared to Claire. He's such a cute little guy!


Kyle was around, too, but he just didn't usually stay still long enough for us to get a picture of him with Claire and Ryan.

While Claire and Ryan were matching, Kyle saw me changing Claire's diaper. I said something to Claire, and I called her by name, and Kyle told me that wasn't Claire - it was Ryan. I had to explain that it was Claire, she was a girl, and she and Ryan were just wearing matching pj's.

Did Ryan spot something in Claire's nose???

As I have explained previously, I think it's difficult at times to get good pictures of Claire - with her looking at or towards the camera and smiling. So it was definitely harder to get good pictures of both Claire and Ryan at the same time. We took LOTS of pictures, and these are some of the best!

Mel (finally) successfully coaxed Kyle into sitting on the couch with us and smiling for the picture. But that didn't last too long, so this is one of the best pictures we got of these 3 kiddos! I actually really, really like it. I think it's hilarious! It looks like Ryan is familiar with Kyle and his antics, and he's a bit weary of them! And Claire is just looking on with simple, maybe even naive, curiosity. I love it!

And then Claire and Ryan took a bath together.

Ryan moved around,

rolled over,

and even reached for Claire (or maybe her toy).
Claire, however, stayed in the same spot and ate her toy duck the entire time!

It was fun seeing Claire and Ryan together! And I know it'll continue to be fun as they grow up, especially since they're only two weeks apart!
