Little Stoeber boys like . . .

Had some cute pictures to share.  Who am I kidding, I think all the pictures are cute. 


The slide

Patrick's first time down the slide at the park.  It may be a little while longer before he can go down on his own, but for now he doesn't mind a helping hand.


Reading

Ryan has always loved books and now baby brother is following in those footsteps.  I must admit, my heart sings a little bit each time I see either one of them engaged in a book.



The Play Table

Our friend, Joanne, got us this toy when Ryan was littler.  Patrick is now starting to pull up to a stand and is ready for it now.  Unfortunately the hard part is pulling Ryan away from it to allow Patrick playtime (it has lights and music)!


Making this face.

This isn't one of those "snap the camera and see what I got" shots.  Patrick makes this face often during mealtimes.  I'll take this face anyday over the other one he makes at mealtimes, the "raspberry blowing" aka the "I'm showering mommy with the food she just fed me" face.



Journal Time

Ryan's class would write in their journal each day at school.  He has taken to calling the Magna Doodle his journal.  While he usually draws lines or numbers on it, on this day he came to me and told me he drew Ryan.  So I had to take a picture of his first self portrait.  I'm glad to see he didn't give himself the "Lendman nose" but did draw a bit of a smile.
