Ryan's First Easter

The little man had a BIG day!
We first went to church in the morning, where he did not stop squirming or moving the entire time, he was sucking and chewig on his sandals. He took a little nap and then we went to the annual family Easter picnic at John's sister Karen's house. We ended the night at my Grandparents house with desert. He was so good all day, being passed around from one family member to another (he LOVES the attention)!

Ryan Meets "Real" Food

Ryan had his first taste of...let's call it "real" food, a.k.a. rice cereal a few weeks ago and he was not too impressed! Since then, I have let him suck on an apple core and that was a whole other taste experience, one that he LOVED. He was cute, everytime I gave it to him he would squeal in delight.

Ryan Love

Our handsome little guy turned 5 months old the other day, and wow has he grown in the last month! It is so crazy how fast babies develop. The past few days he has been sitting up on his own for at least 30 seconds, he's rolling all over the place and grabs at everything. He gets up on his knees and if there is something in front of him that he wants he will wiggle his way right to it. The other day I was holding him and he grabbed my glass when I walked by the counter and spilled it everywhere. He is ALWAYS smiling and laughing and he has the cutest little chuckle going on. He makes my day, day in, and day out. Right now he is in his little jumper thing just watching me, more like staring at me, type and everytime I look over at him he starts cracking up! Being Ryan's mom has been the most amazing experience and we are so blessed to have such a wonderful little guy. He has the most sweet, gentle little soul and I can't wait to see what he will get into next. Here are some pictures from the last month..
