Two Squeezes: March 2009

I know it's been a while since you have seen a post. Mommy claims she is busy.. but honestly, I know she can find the time between taking care of us, working a full time job, taking care of Jackson, doing 1st grade homework, fixing dinner, and finding time to give Daddy some smooches.. there has got to be time in the day to update this blog so that you all ya'll can see what my sister and I are up to.

Seeing that it's been a month, I know I am going to leave some things out.. if you are curious... just give us a call and I can fill in the gaps.

I think we have to move...our yard is NOT big enough for all the ponies my sister has won from my Dad.. Everytime she starts crying.. Daddy bets her a pony and she stops crying... so now, there is no more room in our yard for all of these ponies. I am beginning to realize that she has Daddy completely wrapped around her finger.. she gets ponies.. she gets extra long snuggles.. she gets to sleep in the big bed sometimes.. and Me.. I get the shaft. I get left in my bed.. and I don't get ponies.. I am torn.. do I want a pony.. or do I want a treehouse. As you can see in my pictures.. I am really trying to charm Mommy into getting me a treehouse.. the problem is.. there will be no room for my treehouse w/ all these ponies that are going to be in our yard. I have got my smile down! Watch out Ladies.. Ronan Tullis (yes that's me) is a CHARMER.. a little crinkle of the nose.. a little crooked smile and I can turn you to mush.

Mommies- Mommy is no longer with us 24 hours a day 7 days a week.. she had to go back to work... for a couple of weeks we had alot of fun with Grammy Pantz, Grammy Fudge (Formerly Grammy T), Aunty Kathy, Aunty Yo, and Mommy. Everyone came in to have their turn at taking care of us, while Mommy got her feet wet with work again. Our Nanny, Tina, started a couple of weeks ago and she is wonderful. She sings to us, dances with us, and is always trying to make us happy. Frankly, I think I have one up on my sister with Tina, MUSH.. MUSH.. I kid you not.. I turn her to mush when I flash her my smile. My sister.. she doesn't have the charm factor.. she has the cute factor going for her. We love spending time with Tina and we feel very lucky that even though Mommy and Daddy are working... we sometimes get a quick visit, hug, kiss or snuggle with them during the day because they work from home when they aren't on the road.

Grampies- You wouldn't believe who has come to visit us in the past month.. first.. our Big Poppity (Grampy Tullis) came to visit us.. Ava as usual tried to steal the show with her tears... and it worked.. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a pony from him too. I WISH she would just think of me for once and get a treehouse out of the deal. Most recently, we were visited by our Great Grampy Vadney and his "lil doggie" Suzette! We had a great time visiting with him!!! He has moved back here from Florida, so we are going to be spending alot more time with him... which is great.. we love spending time w/ Great Grampies.. they are really smart and I am hoping they can teach me some tricks they learned back in the day.

Milestones-You may find some of our milestones trivial, but we get really excited about them. I am a little disappointed that Mommy didn't get shots of all of them, but hopefully she will have them next time. We are both smiling up a storm. I think Mommy is the funniest person alive.. she makes faces at me no matter what time of day it is.. Daddy.. he sings so badly.. I can't help but laugh! Sissy- she's smiling but doesn't have quite the sense of humor I have. She's happiest in the morning.. after 4:30, you don't know who you are going to get.. you could get Glinda the good witch.. or you could get Elphaba the bad witch (who is really just misunderstood.. another story for another day). I am LOVING my hands.. I play with them and try to suck on my fist... Ava loves her pigs.. she is always kickin kickin kickin when she gets excited. Mommy is now giving us cereal in our bottle with every meal and has started giving us some apple baby food mixed with cereal from a spoon. I like that ALL of the time.. my Sister.. not so much.. if she is Glinda.. she loves food.. if she is Elphaba she doesn't like anything. Sorry to disappoint.. we have not said our first word, taken our first steps, eaten our first pizza, or had our first beer (although we were tempted on St. Patty's day.. what do you expect from me.. my name is Ronan Sean Tullis.. however the only pot of gold I have is the one I leave in my pants for Mommy and Daddy)

Although Ava may have my Daddy wrapped, he is preparing me for baseball season.. I won't be one of THOSE kids who doesn't know what is going on.. I have everything I need for opening day.. w/ the exception of a beer mug and a hat. My Dad is also teaching me how to be a good man.. maybe a little early.. but I have gotten some great lessons from him on cleaning up after dinner and doing laundry. He is always running around helping Mommy.. we hear I love you alot.. and thank you so much alot around here.. Team Tullis is a strong team and Mommy is lucky to have the help she does because we make a MESS!

Enough out of me.. it's time for you to see how cute we are.. and to see all of our adventures.. ooooh.. I forgot to tell you.. we went to Portsmouth and saw the Ocean for the first time.. If we don't move to a horse farm.. I am lobbying for Portsmouth.

Hello Ladies!
