Howdy Partner

Ryan went on his first vacation to Texas. My mom and I actually drove down there. We were nervous to drive with him at first, but it went really well. It was an 18 hour drive and Ryan slept about 16 hours of it. He was a wonderful baby for the whole ten days. We had a lot of fun and he got to visit his great grandpa and a lot of other relatives. We bought him this cowboy hat as a souvenir. He's a real cowboy now!

He likes to eat!

We fed Ryan his first meal of rice cereal a few weeks ago. He loved it! Now whenever I am eating something he tries to grab my fork and eat off of it. I don't think he is going to be a picky eater.
He wanted to try feeding himself. He played with the spoon for a little while before trying to shove it in his mouth. He actually got a bite in, although I think he preferred his dad feeding him.

Ryan is a Cuddlebug

Ryan likes to cuddle with his stuffed animals a lot now whether he's awake or sleeping. It is very cute. This first picture makes me laugh every time I see it.

Bath Time

Ryan really likes to chew on everything he sees now. I had a hard time giving him a bath tonight because he wouldn't keep his hands or feet out of his mouth! Today at his doctor's appointment he tried to eat the doctor's fingers, coat and hair. It was pretty embarassing because he wouldn't let go, but I'm sure she's seen worse :)

Just Cute

There's nothing special about these pictures. I just thought he looked cute today. He hates wearing shoes.

He won...by the end of church today his shoes and socks were both off.

Rolling Over

Everything started out just fine... Then things got pretty bad... Then they got worse...

Until finally... he did it!! When I roll him over, he thinks it's a game. When he has to do it himself, it's a whole different story.

Happy Baby

He was so happy playing with his gym. He always gets stuck in this corner.
I almost had a smile in this picture... But then he got distracted by his dad walking by.
