Some Sleep

I have not blogged in some time. I could not tell you where the days have gone. They just seem to go. Ryan is growing like a weed. He is so long, some outfits that he wears are 6 month old clothes! And the feet, I am still hung up on the size of his feet. Uncle Eric gave him shoes for Christmas and I had to exchange them for size three, just for a little growing room.
At three months Ryan is not sleeping through the night nor is he sleeping by himself. We are making progress in both columns. He slept this past week in his crib for 30 minutes. He did wake up mad. At night he is sleeping longer periods of time. It all depends on the activity during the day and each day is different.
Ryan has found his hands and he seems to enjoy putting his right hand in his mouth and some days that is not enough, he needs to try and fit both in there.
He is a joy and not so much of a trial. His days are full of smiles and wonder. He looks around and takes so much in. It seems that as long as I am around a new environment is a place to take in. And as long as he can eat when he wants to, its a party!

New environments include a mom's group that we attend. There we socialize with other new moms and their babies. The kids are from the ages of a couple of months to the stage of crawling. Once a child can crawl they are asked to no longer attend the group. So far we are enjoying this experience and the chance to socialize. Ryan had his eye on the little red-haired girl the last time we attended.

Other events in our life include strollerobics. It is more for me than him, but he gets to come along. This is fairly new and we are working out the kinks, such as I need a very supportive bra and the realization that working out is hard even if it is low impact. Ah the journey back to being fit and hopefully my old clothes. I am eternally hopeful.
