It's been awhile!

Wow I can't believe we haven't blogged since Megan turned 1! So much has happened since then... Not too long after Megan turned one we found out we were expecting again! In July we moved to a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood on a cul de sac! In September I turned 30, and 2 weeks later on October 15, Ryan Jospeh Denny was born! A month after Ryan's birthday Russ turned 40! It's been a crazy and fun year here! I hope to be better about blogging in 2010! Here are some recent photos of the kids!


Newborn Ryan still in the hositpal


Our first family photo!


We had professional photos of Ryan, Megan and us taken when Ryan was a week old and they came out amazing!!! Here are just two of them. Lyndsay Stadtner from Life in Motion Photography is the amazing photographer!


Megan was a duck for Halloween! She LOVES her duck customer but the actual trick or treating part wasn't her favorite. Although she was excited to get candy she got very very scared whenever she was an adult in a costume, even silly costumes like a whoppi cushion were very upsetting. We made it to three neighbors houses, all whom she knew, and then decided to just go home! But she loved answering the door and handing out candy!


My parents came for 10 days after Ryan was born, we had a GREAT visit!


Roger and Veronica came to Austin for Thanksgiving! Megan had so much fun with her cousin Veronica! Veronica taught Megan how to play hide n seek with one of her stuffed animals, we all rode the Cedar Park train together, and played at Gattiland too!


Ryan started smiling at 7 weeks, the day after he smiled for the first time he also rolled over (belly to back)! He's still sporadic with his rolling but he can repeat it over and over if he's in the mood!


At first the new baby brother was a rough transition for Megan, she had a hard time sharing Mommy and didn't like it when I held or nursed Ryan. Now she's doing much better. She LOVES to give Ryan a paci, push him in the swing, help with diaper changes... all under much much supervision!


We cut our Christmas tree down this year at a Christmas tree farm in Elgin (about a 40 min drive), it was great! Megan loved riding out to the fields behind the tractor. Ryan was in the Moby wrap the whole time and slept for most it. I've been using the Moby a lot more this time, it's helped me to get out more with Megan and Ryan seems to like it.


Ryan has pretty strong neck muscles, here he is at 2 months! He was holding his head up pretty well during tummy time even at a dew days old! And he likes tummy time (most of the time)!


Megan has been working on diapering her stuffed animals and dolls since this summer but she's getting a lot closer to doing it herself these days! Elmo also often is seen in the swing, bouncy seat, buckled into Ryan's carseat, on Ryan's changing pad, with a paci, in Ryan's clothes...
