All smiles

Ryan has really turned a corner these past couple weeks. He is still a little high maintenance baby but I love him so so much. He smiles so much more and is much more playful. Im an sad to go back to work on Monday. I think his gas/colic has gotten a lot better because he doesnt seem to be in as much pain. He still only sleeps about 4 hours at a time, so I hope that gets better soon since im going basck to work. He can hold his head up really well. Some of the things that make him smile are the wheels on the bus song, when the "horn on the bus goes beep beep beep" and we beep his belly, and then he loves it when we quickly put a blanket over his face and take it away peek-a-boo, and we discovered hes likes horse noises when Jane was sitting in the back seat trying to calm him down. He loves meeting new people and is always on his best behavior for them. Ryan also loves his hands these days, its hard to get his hands out of his mouth to feed him.

This past weekend was Daddy/Ryan bonding time, they were all by themselves. I had some of my girlfriends come into town and we stayed at the Hard Rock for my 30th Birthday. We had a great time. A couple of the pictures are below, but I didnt take many with my camera, so I am waiting for them to send me the pics and Ill add more later.

We asked Steve (my brother) and Jen (Chris cousin) to be the godparents and they are super excited. You can see the pic when we asked Steve a couple posts ago (when we were at Nana and Pops for the weekend) and then we have a pic below where we asked Jen when she came down to visit last week. Ryan's catholic baptism is going to be on labor day weekend.

Look at the nugget hold his head up!

Happy 4th!

We spend July 4th at the Otto's and had a nice and relaxing day. Ryan enjoyed spending time outside on the blanket, napping and watching the fireworks. Ryan loves doing the airplane (we hold him up in the air), its been his favorite thing the past couple days. He also is smiling a lot more which has been a lot of fun!
Last weekend, Chris and I went to dinner and a movie (we saw Ted) and one of the girls that Chris works with offered to babysit. She is pregnant and due in September, I'm sure our bundle of joy was great practice for them! We came home and they said he didnt sleep much, but they did get to have some nice play time with him

My Little Man is Two Months Old

Ryan is two months old today!
We went to the doc on Wednesday and Ryan is 12 lbs and 23 inches, which is about 60th percentile for both. Ryan had to get a bunch of vaccine shots :( which has made him more fussy the past couple days. I hope he feels better soon. Doctor commented on his bright blue eyes and how strong he was. He said Ryan will probably crawl and roll over early. The very next day, I had him on his tummy and he actually rolled over to his back, twice! Thats something that doesnt normally happen till 4 months, i'm so proud of my little man. But, I havent seen him do it again, maybe it was just a one time thing for now. Also, he holds his head up pretty good and enjoys the bumbo seat.
I went to lunch with a friend yesterday and she commented how alert he was for a 2 month old. That's my boy...the boy who never sleeps during the day! I was thinking.. maybe the fact he never sleeping during the day has something to do with his fast physical development, he is just soaking up all of his surroundings like a big sponge.

Weekend at Nana and Pops

We went up to Orlando this past weekend to celebrate my 30th Bday. Ryan got to meet Uncle Steve, Great Uncle Ken and cousin Haley. We introduced Ryan to the pool for the first time! well actually, it was the hot tub, because the pool was a bit cold. We let the hot tub cool off so it was bath temperature. He loved it! Nana and Pops got some lobsters ordered from up north which were really yummy.
