Finding My Feet

What goes up must come down

Okay so today Ryan had carrots for the first time which he seemed to enjoy until.... he has also learned that he can fling his arm around like crazy and really enjoys this new found movement. This is when the arm met the carrots and it was all down hill from there. This whole scene gave me a flash back though to when I was about 14 and on me second babysitting job for the Hassetts, Dylan was around Ryan's age at the time(that would make her I think about 14ish...man I'm old) anyways I was feeding Dylan carrots and she swatted her arm the exact same way but oh my goodness did she make a mess. These carrots curved around the hall about six feet, sprayed up the nine feet walls and all over the ceiling. You may think that I'm exaggerating or the story has grown over the years but I'm not this was a amazing that a tiny 2oz jar of baby food could cover that much area. Oh yeah and they had just moved into the house so everything was new!! I had to call my mom and have her come help me clean the house. I thout I would be fired on the spot. Needless to say I babysat for them the rest of the time we lived there. Anyways it was such a moment I couldn't pass up telling the story.

Snow...yes I said snow!!!

It went from 80 degrees to snowing in about two days!! So, this isn't Spokane snow but still. I didn't think Ryans first time seeing snow would be in Aledo Texas!!
We just took a quick pic in the snow because Ryan has a cold. His nose is runny, sneezing and a little cough. All in all he's still pretty happy even though he is not feeling great.

First Thanksgiving!!

Well he didn't have turkey, and he slept through most of dinner but this was his first Thanksgiving and I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and that Ryan has joined our family. I couldn't imagine life without him, he is truly an angel.
Hanging out with aunt Page and Grandma Jo. We all had a wonderful day together and Grandma Jo truly out did herself cooking every thing. Thanks for a wonderful day.

Mom and Dad

This last week my parents moved to Texas!!! We are all so excited to have them near by, we are all just soaking in the Mimi and Gramps time. I know this move wasn't easy especially leaving behind such good friends and family, so I really appreciate the sacrifice that my parents have made to be near their grandkids. I'm so excited that our children will grow up having both sets of grandparent so close by since I never got to have that opportunity. I'm excited for dad and his new job. He seems so happy and relaxed and that's great to see he deserves it!! Good luck dad!! Thanks Mom and Dad we love you!

Eating real food-well rice cereal

Ryan had his 4 month appointment this week and we were given the go ahead to start rice cereal. Ryan loves it!! He will hold on to my hand and help shovel it into his mouth. Ryan is 15lbs 9oz and 28 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 100% for height and 75% for weight. He barley even cried during his 4 shots. He was done crying before the nurse even left the room. He sure doesn't have my pain tolerance, maybe he has his uncle Brents looks and ability to with stand pain.
I've been waiting for these types of pictures- I looked down to scoop up another bite and he was out!!! He was eating rice and prunes(which he loved) bananas he just spits out.
