M: You are Daddy's girl, Coco.
C: No I not.
M: Okay, Mommy's and Daddy's girl. You came from both of us!
C: No I not! I come from Target.

Ryan's Log. Day 42. Mommy tried to get us to take a nap at the same time. Joel cried the first half, so I could get some shut eye. I took second shift. Mom gave up and brought me downstairs to the rocker. Victory is mine. SIMS [smiling in my sleep].

Ryan's Log. Day 43. Something attacked the back of my head during nap time. I screamed like the dickens until Mom came and held my hand. I vow to never sleep again in case that thing comes back.
Joel's Log. Day 43. Ryan pulled his own hair at nap time. *snort*. I bet that little dude wishes his hair was more like mine.

Joel's Log. Day 50. Goodbye hard crib mattress. Hello 3 inch memory foam mattress topper. Mom is such a pushover.

Ryan's Log. Day 54. Lately I've begun to suspect that all the partying occurs at night when I'm stuck in my crib. I refused to wake up after my afternoon nap in order to be alert enough to test my theory. Turns out, the middle of the night is really boring. I invited mom in to hang with me, but she was none too pleased. Which is weird, because I am delightful.
Joel's Log. Day 54. I know mom and dad can't say they have a favorite, but I went straight back to sleep after eating tonight. Just saying.

Joel's Log. Day 56. I think I have a super power and it is called, 'I always know when it is 3:54 am. Always.' It doesn't even matter if I just ate an hour before or was sound asleep at 3:50. When 3:54 hits, boom, awake. I always let mom know so she can remember about how cool my powers are.

Ryan's Log. Day 56. I am no longer a horizontal crib sleeper. Too big. Too agile. I woke up with my head against the rails twice at nap time. Do cribs come in queen size?!

Ryan's Log. Day 61. Mom and Dad had to come see us twice last night, but it was never because of me. Who's the favorite now?!
Joel's Log. Day 61. I can totally sleep the whole night and only eat once. I just don't choose to. Because then Mom would miss my smile. You're welcome.

Joel's Log. Day 67. When I think I'm finished with my nap I whine until Mom comes in, and then I give her my most winning smile. Only sometimes she thinks I'm not finished napping and she pops a binky in my mouth and leaves again. That is my least favorite thing.

Ryan's Log. Day 67. Does this hat make me look like Joel?!

C: You know, Daddy is a prince!
M: He is? What makes him a prince?
C: Because he handsome.

Can't argue with that logic.

Joel's Log. Day 69. I will not drink cold milk. Ever. Not even if I'm starving.

Ryan's Log. Day 69. I will drink cold milk. Even if I'm not all that hungry. I'd drink Joel's milk too if it were offered. But it hasn't been.

Joel's Log. Day 76. I'm two and a half months old, so I no longer require naps.

Ryan's Log. Day 76. Me neither. Probably.

September 25, 2015

Ryan's Log. Day 86. I am the king of tummy time!!! I am exercising daily, and soon I will roll. Then I will be unstoppable except for inclines. And walls, doors, stairs, etc. But mostly unstoppable!!

Joel's Log. Day 86. You can put a boy in tummy time, but you can't make him work out. That's just the way I [don't] roll.

September 30, 2015

Joel's Log. Day 90. Oh my gosh, Ryan! I have another super power. My hand has a binky attachment! Two super powers. What are the chances?!

Ryan's Log. Day 90. Yeah, but Joel, do you know what's cool? I am. Because I giggled and rolled over for the first time all in one day, and that day was right now!

October 8, 2015

Joel's Log. Day 99. I rolled over 6 days ago, but did Mom tell the [Facebook] world right away? No. Sigh. Fourth child syndrome. The struggle is real!

Ryan's Log. Day 99. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I always look to the right. Which means I always know what's going on. As long as it is going on to my right.

October 9, 2015

Joel's Log. Day 100. Ryan, we slept 12 hours straight!

Ryan's Log. Day 100. Wait, what? We missed second dinner?! Do you think Mommy does make up meals?

C: Big girls stay calm, Allie.  Big girls not cry.
…I not a big girl.  Well, actually I am, but Allie you is much bigger girl than me.
