Ponies and Grampies and Mommies oh my

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.

Over the river and through the woods to Grammy and Grampy's we go!!

I have to tell you.. I have started this posting a bunch of times but between eating, pooping, and getting spoiled... it's been pretty tough to get to the computer.. plus Mommy is always on it trying to find deals on diapers and coffee.. when she isn't taking care of us(thanks Miss Kim for pointing out the www.bigcatcoffees.com site for Mommy).

Brother and I have been really busy these past couple of weeks.. trying to pack in as much as we can until Mommy goes back to work on March 1st. We are a little sad about Mommy having to go back to work, but we are excited for our Nanny to start..we just hope she can keep up with us.. We keep everyone very very busy.

We took our first road trip. Mom and Dad were really nervous so they packed the family mobile to the absolute brim with baby gear. We went to Connecticut
to visit the Pellonis and boy did we get a visit in. We started off the weekend bright and early.. I was ready to go in my best jammy jams.. but it took our parents a few hours to get out of the house.. once we were on the road.. I WAS ready to party.. but because they made me wait around for so long.. I fell asleep with brother the entire way!!! I think I earned a pony for that one.. by now.. I think I have earned 4 ponies!!

Our first stop in Connecticut, was Grammy's house. She was in the middle of making a bunch of sweet treats for her pub... but we got in the middle of that and I think Mom and Dad polished off a couple of those treats.. they both had chocolate on their faces when we woke up from our nap. After visiting with Grammy.. we put our party clothes on and went to our Uncle Tommy's 60th birthday party. This was my Grand Debut... oops I mean OUR Grand Debut to the Pelloni Family.. ooh time for me to throw a fit.. I will have to finish this in a bit.

pphew.. well that turned into an ordeal.. two crying babies and two diaper changes.. see why it takes me so long to post.

In CT.. we met ALL of our Pelloni Uncles and Aunties.... well except our Great Great Uncle Georgie.. but he is coming home soon we hope. Our Uncle Jimmy even came all the way from Florida to visit (that made our trip look like nothin). The highlight of our Pelloni Family visit was meeting our Great Great Aunty Stella. She stole us away from our parents.. and kept telling them to beat it.. she had us taken care of. She really didn't want us to go back.. I think she was talking about bringing us to Vegas with her. She's a little crazy.. but what women aren't in our family? We spent lots of time w/ her.. and then made the rounds with all of the other family members... we are really lucky to be part of such a big family.... a big family who likes to eat just like us!

After the party, we went to Grampy's house to spend the night. It was fun staying with Grampy.. he made Mom,Dad, and Lorrie a GREAT breakfast and he gave us lots of love. We had fun meeting Lorrie and Dad taught her all about facebook.. he loves to teach people about facebook.. perhaps he can start getting paid to do so because I am going to need LOTS of SHOES! I can't wait until I can walk so that I can run around his house and hide. Brother can't wait to go to work w/ Grampy so that he can drive his trucks.. Between Ronan and Jackson.. Grampy has quite the rock picking crew...

What a weekend we had... we also had some other firsts.. like our first walk in the neighborhood.. our first I can cry so loud no noise comes out... Mommy tried to give us our first rice cereal... but then we had to meet our first prune juice..so she stopped that experiment.. we haven't had our first sleep through the whole night.. or our first poo poo on the potty..

Oh our vitals..

I am up to 8lbs 10oz.. if you remember I started off at 4lbs 10 oz.. so Mommy's milk has been doing me some serious good!

Brother.. aka Chunka Chunka Burnin Love... or Frank the Tank he is up to 10lbs 12oz.. he too has been enjoying his boobie milk cocktails.

That's it for now.. it's gotta be time for me to start crying so Mommy knows that its time to eat..maybe I can get brother to do it at the same time.. that's always fun!!!

Brother and I trying out our new Bumbo seats.. we still don't know what to think of these things

Lucky 7- Ronan tells you how it is

This week marks our 7th week in the PBT house. This week has been a whirlwind of events.

We kicked the weekend off with a visit from our friends, the Ronans. Michael, Shelby, Maeve and Charlotte all came over to play. Michael still thinks I was named after him, we are going to continue to tell him that in hopes that he pays for my college education.

We convinced Mom and Dad to take us to Jackson's basketball game. Little did we know, we too, would be the center of attention, along with Addie Cakes (Aka Adelaide Bower). I can't wait to be as tall as my brother so that we can play some hoops in the driveway. I know I can't take him now.. but give me a few months and I might be a force to be reckoned with on the courts. After sleeping.. oops I mean after watching the game.. we headed off to Sam's Club for Mommy to stock up on organic milk. I am not sure why she bought so much.. my milk is organic and free!! What is better than that? We rested our eyes through the Sam's adventure.

We then went to Aunt Stacey's house to refuel. We were there for a while.. we were held and held.. and kissed.. and held some more. I personally, tried to impress them w/ with my grunts, cackles, and toots.. the toots always get me something.

After the refuel and spoiling... we headed to the MALL?? Mom and Dad were really brave with this one.. Ava and I were on the boarder of being great babies.. or being really tough babies.. we chose to be great babies.. afterall.. they do wake up w/ us every night.. they do give us tons of love.. they do laugh at us all of the time. The Mall is a crazy place for babies.. lots of people, lots of lights.. lots of things they wouldn't buy me even though I was good and said please.

Mom and Dad needed to refuel..so Ava and I decided to take a little nap, they wheeled us into Ruby Tuesday's and had themselves a dinner date. Can you believe it.. we were SIX weeks old.. and they took us on a date... and we behaved. I think Daddy is going to buy me a rocket launcher for that.. and Ava definitely is going to get her pony.

That was just Saturday.. on Sunday, Daddy decided to bust out the Baby Bjorn.. we modeled it together. Usually my sister gets to the do the modeling, but I got to take advantage of it this time.. I think she was snoozin during the shoot. Adelaide came over to play with us as well as Kelly and Kristy. It was nice to have our families together... we took Addie aside and planned some sneak attacks on our brother, Jackson.. shhhhh don't tell him.

So that was the weekend.. we all had to go back to work on Monday.. sleepin, eating, poopin, it's all very hard work. Sister stopped her sleeping through the night streak which was tough on our parents. I stayed consistent.. wake up.. eat.. poop... toot.. and back to bed.

Grammy Tullis came to spoil us for a couple of days while Daddy went on some sales calls to Maine. Our Nanny came to visit us for a couple of hours, and we were visited by our friends Jen and Emma Melker. Everyone comes over here to get their baby fix.

Ooooh.. Ava wanted me to mention the fact that she wore her first pair of very designer jeans... no these weren't Sevens or Luckies.. they were jeans WITH designs on them... and they were pretty.. Not for me.. but she did look pretty in them. I am sure Mom will post some pictures..they took a bunch.

We are off to Connecticut this weekend to celebrate our Great Uncle Tommy's 60th Birthday. I am really excited to meet all of my Great Uncles, to eat some real pizza, to go to the Italian bakery, to sleep at Grampy's and to have Sunday dinner at Grammy's. I certainly am going to pack on a few pounds this weekend... I might just get up to 11lbs with the way Mommy has been feeding us.

We hope ya'll have a great week.
