Laughing

Our little Ryan is 11 weeks old today and decided to pick today to start laughing. It is so amazingly sweet to hear your baby laugh for the first time. It's too bad we weren't able to catch it on film. He is such a fun person. He's a definite mama's boy and loves to be cuddled more than anything. Happy 11 week birthday my little prince!

Uncles are Awesome!

They do crazy things with a crazy boy! Here is Max having fun with his Uncle Mike.

Friends Help Us Try New Things

Max has definitely not tried this on his own but with a little help from his friends:

Ryan's 2 1/2 Month Check up


Ryan's check up was a little late, but he is certainly good and healthy. He's starting out bigger than his big brother was at this age. He is 24.5 inches (89th percentile), 14.5 lbs. (91st percentile) and his head is 43 cm (97th percentile). Poor Ryan also received an oral vaccine and 3 injected vaccines. Here is how he was doing the next day:

A weekend Away

Do you ever feel like you haven't just relaxed for a few days? It's been a busy year. We even moved and had a baby at the same time so some extended rest and relaxation was a must. So when Teri called saying her aunt has a cabin on a lake and would we come, it was a definite YES! A few friends couldn't make it and we wished they were there, but the Eppersons, Menzies, Whites and Mapengos and a GREAT time! The cabin was a house right on Mason Lake (about an hour away). I jet skied for the first time (so did Max) and lived vicariously through the others who wake boarded. I got to see Tallie's mad skills. There was swimming, snorkeling, tubing, boating and lounging. There was even swimming under the stars. It was beautiful! Good friends and good times! Thanks again Mapengos!
