Making as much noise as possible is the name of the game...
...and always egging each other on!
The peacocks and hens are quite used to being fed...one stole the lunch right out of Rhys's hand!
Beautiful birds, though...
Daddy giving Rhys a horsey ride
Thomas pop-up tent which he loves!
Eva wanted to help Rhys...and he needed it too...didn't have a clue what to do
Mommy finally had to coax him into opening his presents
Well, I am officially behind and need to get my act together! Rhys has turned 2 (on Monday) and I haven't posted a single thing for ages! We are having his party on the weekend so pictures will come then. We've been having beautiful winter weather here...clear, blue, sunny skies and cool. I wouldn't mind it if it was a few degrees warmer as I have a sum total of three long-sleeved shirts, but I'll survive. Won't be long and I'll be wishing it was cooler...
A couple weekends ago we had the Morrisons over for lunch and Rhys sure enjoyed himself when the boys got out their scooters. They have four boys, youngest is 4, so Rhys loves following them around. And they are all really good about playing with him. They even let him use a scooter...a bit big for him, but he had fun!
Rhys with Harry, Zach and Darcy
Harry is 4 and is "definitely bigger than Rhys"....his brother give him heaps because he's the youngest.
Sam, the oldest, trying to teach Rhys how to ride the scooter
Zach giving Rhys a ride
Rhys's other special playmate, Eva! They sure are enjoying each other now. I think Rhys was teaching her how to bang on the mirror....such a good influence he is...
Rhys is so grown up...sitting on his little couch eating a whole apple, seeds, stem and all...but every time I asked him to look at me, he leaped up and ran for it....
one of the better ones...
On the slide I got from the toy library for his birthday. He gets a zap every time he goes down, so now he's decided that sending his toy trucks down is much more fun!
Stay tuned for two-year-old birthday pics!
Oh sweet! I love this one!
It's only one step from holding the flowers to holding the purse, Daz!
