Week 8

Hey All,
This week I'm letting the pictures tell the story...

This was the last time Ryan WAS NOT crying tonight....taken around 4pm. He was officially labeled as having colic at a doc appointment last week. We're making the best of a hard situation and doing everything we can to relieve it. Some days are great. Others, like tonight, not so much.
Ryan had his first play date with Henry today. Henry's momma, Carrie, and I flipped delivery dates. My baby came two week early, practically on Carrie's due date. Henry came a week late, almost on my due date. To put things in perspective: Ryan weighed in this week at 12lbs, 9 oz...and he's a week OLDER than Henry and in the 80% for weight....Max may be recruiting Henry in the coming years for Northview football.

Ryan had his first outdoor adventure Sunday. It was 57 degrees, so Max and I took a long walk. It was amazing to get out of the house and Ryan loved it. We even went back out today and plan another adventure tomorrow. Ryan does really well in our front back and usually just dozes off.

Our baby is pretty stinking cute.

Ryan's developing like crazy. He stands up on your lap when you barely hold him at the arm pits. He's holding is head up all the time and looking around. He's just started exploring the play gym that Aunt Jill and Uncle Johnny sent. And he's a wiz at Algebra. (OK, I am lying on this point only.)
Nursing Ryan is going well, as Ryan's shirt indicates. He eats about 5-6 oz every 2-3 hours (even at night...)

And this one's for all the boys in Ithaca, proving that Max has mad domestic skills! Also, some may ask about Ryan's belly button. It did not heal properlly from all the crying pushing it out during the healing process. No hernia. The doc said once he's over the colic, it should look normal and heal properly.
