He Does Like Sport Balls!

Justin always worries or comments that I take Ryan to too many girly activities. He is always hanging out with the women in the knitting shop, taking crocheting lessons, going shopping, or aerobics with Mom. Yesterday Ryan was introduced to a ball. His first one. It was even blue. He loved it. It tasted like rubber, it was light weight, easy to pick up with two hands, and WOW was it fun! I guess you could say it was love at first sight.

Tooth spotting

A tooth has been spotted! It is in sights. I do not know if this constitutes the tooth coming in or not. It has broken the surface and is slowly rising up. Considering it is barely visible does this really count? Is the worst over? Does it still hurt?

Tooth Watch '09

Tooth watch '09 continues. Last night Ryan was complaining and we discovered a tiny little slit in his mouth. It was a tooth line. Teeth are coming!

Tooth Watch '09

Just when I thought we were reaching a point, something new comes around the corner. We have been teething, but nothing has appeared. Today there is a ridge/bump that is trying to push its way up and out. Ryan has been fairly mellow for the whole experience I am worried that he will suddenly become a screaming crying mess.

6 months going on 7

Ryan is 6 months and now working towards 7 months old.
He is happy, healthy, and most certainly all boy. He loves the dogs and lights up the room with his smile when he sees either Codi or Richie. Once upon a time those smiles were just for us. Now a days he shares his smiles with others. I am trying to capture one on the camera, but when the camera comes out it is never quick enough to catch the smile.

Ryan had his 6 month check up on 4/27 and the Dr. said I worry too much. Ryan is perfect in every way. We discussed sun protection for the up and coming summer, sun filled months. Ryan weighed in at 15.9 lbs. & is 27.5 inches long. His form of moving is rolling around. He rolls e v e r y w h e r e. He has also started some solid foods. We started with cereal, then moved to carrots. One day early this week I thought I would be brilliant and mix the carrots with the cereal. It was not such a brilliant move, he did not like them and refused to eat. His first "not-wanting-to-eat" moment. Otherwise he loves eating, the motion of the spoon coming to his mouth, the spoon going into his mouth. HE LOVES IT. Dinner time is always an adventure now.

In Awe

I am in awe how people who juggle more than I do on a daily basis find time to update and write in their blogs. I try and think of topics, yet never quite find the time to sit down and creat an entry. And when I do, it might be 5 on one day. Is this defeating the purpose of a blog? I am not sure.

5-5-2009
Well I know that today is not really 5-5-2009, but yesterday was. Yesterday marked the 2 year anniversary of our marriage. Justin and I have been married two official years, no matter which way I say it, it has gone by quickly. We have also added to our family. We are changing, evolving, growing, and loving every minute of it. Justin and I had such a nice evening together as a family, the 5 of us (Codi and Richie too). We stayed in and enjoyed a home cooked meal by me, Ryan was in a great mood, and we all had a nice dinner together.
