Happy Mother's Day 2009

This is my first Mother's Day. And truth be told, it feels like most other days. Except Ryan woke up only one time last night/ this morning. I had more hours of sleep in a row then I have had in awhile. Now that is a gift.
We all went to breakfast at our annual Mother's Day place. Grandparents, Great Aunt, Mom, Dad and baby. It was a fairly smooth experience and the meal went very well. It is all about having the right toys or objects.

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.
