Another Monterey favorite

Here's a picture of Ryan at our other favorite park - the Tot Lot. It's wonderful - we go there at least three times a week. It's a perfect park for an active 2-year old! It has a fun structure to climb on, rubberized ground cover, grass for soccer, a "forest" of trees to explore...and best of all, it's completely fenced in. Ryan loves it because there is so much to play with...I love it because I can visit with my friends, drink a cup of coffee and relax because he can't escape!

Bath time

Check out those rolls!
Caitlin LOVES her baths!

We'll miss the park!

I've been taking my camera everywhere to try and capture Ryan and Caitlin doing the things the love to do in Monterey, so we have pictures we can share with them as the get older.

One of our favorite places is a little park near our house. It's an easy 10 minute walk away, and it has a great play structure for Ryan, it's always deserted and it has a car track. Ryan LOVES driving his cars around the track - he could do this for hours on end.

I know we'll find other parks in RI and WA, but this little park will always be special!

Caitlin is officially rolling from tummy to back!

Caitlin first rolled over on October 6th, but it didn't happen again until Halloween. Today, every time I put her on her tummy, she was flipping over onto her back. She doesn't like being on her tummy - she likes to be on her back where she can grab at her toys.

On a side note, Ryan told me I had a "beautiful belly button" yesterday. His expanding vocabulary results in some very funny comments!

Halloween pictures

I know I haven't posted since before Caitlin's birth, but I figure now is as good of time as any to start up again! I'll try to "retroactively" post some pictures of the summer, but I'm going to start with some Halloween pics.

Ryan went as a cow. We went with some friends to an early toddler trick-or-treat. He loved ringing the doorbell and saying "Trick or Treat." He especially liked doing it once he realized that people were going to give him candy.
