Ryan is no 3.5 months and the time is moving so quickly. He seems to hit a new milestone every time we turn around! Max had his first Baseball tournament yesterday (1 loss, 1 tie, but overall the team shows promise). And I have been back at work for 2 weeks now. We have a great sitter that comes to the house, Jenny, and Ryan and her seem to have really hit it off. It's so nice to not have to back him up on the mornings I work. Walking through the door at the end of the day is the best. Ryan is usually in his seat playing, but always happy to see me.
Thursday Max leaves for a 10 day spring training trip to Florida with his team. I am excited for him to have the time with the team, but a little apprehensive about doing the parenting thing without him. Max is missing Ryan already! Also, tomorrow my Grandma (dad's mom) is having open heart surgery. She's in her late 80's so please pray that all goes well and that she can rest comfortably after surgery.
Here's what's new in Ryan's world:
- He's holding toys and passing them between hands.
- He tries to put his entire fist in his mouth
- He's sleeping lot better. Some nights he has gone 5.5 hours. Other nights its only 1.5 hours! But he's napping a lot during the day too. He's figuring it all out.
- He's close to giggling and loves to have conversations with us. The cooing is too cute.
- He sits up propped on pillows and does great work outs for tummy time.
- He no longer needs the shield for nursing, so that's a big relief and the feedings are going faster.
- He loves going for walks.
Check out some of his other milestones below!
Some of you may have seen our previous post with Ryan and Hendy. Well Ryan is catching up. Ryan's legs are about twice the width of Henry....so I think we definetly have one Basketball player and one football layer on our hands. We think Ryan is well over 16 pounds now (that's the approximation from Max, and since he teaches weights, I can't argues).
During our play date, the boys were holding hands....that is, when Ryan wasn't holding Henry's ear!
Conked out last night. He's in his little swaddling straigh-jacket. If hes not wrapped tight, he wakes himself up constantly with his "conductors hands".
Here's Ryan playing 70's bachelor with his shirt open to is navel relaxing on his "monkey skin rug". The girls I used to babysit for (now in college...wow!) sent the cutest package yesterday. Thank you Jennifer, Julie and Brittnay.
Ryan now spends most of his time looking like this, rather than colicy crying!
Ryan is a great cook and likes to help me when I make dinner.
A glimpse of our boy's very red hair.
Tummy time with daddy. Or maybe Max is making his do push ups!
Proof that he is holding his toys!
Ryan trying to get his fist into his mouth!
