Day with Dad

Matt & Ryan had a father/son day yesterday while I took a trip to Hollowayville to spend the day with my mom and sisters. The boys had a great day including a trip to Einstein Bagels and Scooters, and a U of I victory.  Ryan and Matt also made a trip to the farmer's market where they met Rahm Emanuel.  While the boys were busy shaking hands with the potential future mayor of Chicago, my mom, Gina & I were helping Kaylee get ready for her first Homecoming dance.  She looked beautiful and had a great time!

New Cousin

Ryan is going to have a new cousin in February!  Erin & Drew are expecting and we are so happy for them. They will make great parents and we can't wait to meet Baby Eder!!

Back when...

We were in Hollowayville this weekend and I took this picture of Kaylee & Ryan. Seeing it brought me back to when I was a freshman in high school and Kaylee was a little kid who loved Barney and sharing her meals with the dog.  Now she's a beautiful young lady who loves watching Glee, cheering, playing volleyball and spending time with her first nephew.

4 months

Ryan had his 4 month appointment today.  He weighs 14 pounds 12 ounces (50th percentile) and is 25 1/4 inches long (50-75th percentile).  He is starting to roll over from his back to his stomach all the time.  The only problem is he seems to have forgotten how to roll back onto his back. He's becoming more and more social everyday and we are having so much fun with him!! 

First....

Ryan has had a few "firsts" lately.  

First time in his bumbo.  He wasn't quite sure what to make of it and kept leaning slightly to the right.  

First Cubs game.  Ryan was really good.  He just stared at everything and drooled all over his hands. 

First time rolling over from front to back.  

Busy Bee

Great weekend full of family, friends and fun.  Here are some pictures from August.

One of Ryan's favorite activities...

New Uncle

Not only will Ryan soon be getting a new aunt, he will also be getting a new uncle.  My sister Gina's boyfriend Jesus proposed to her last night in St. Louis and she said yes.  We are so happy for them and excited to have two weddings to look forward to.  

Matt starts his new job tomorrow and Ryan and I are sad to see him go back to work.  We've had a great time with him home the past two weeks.  

Off to the Doctor

Ryan had his two month appointment on Thursday (technically his 10 week appointment).  He weighed 13.5 pounds (90th percentile!!!) and was 23 1/2 inches long (50th percentile).  He also got his first round of shots which was more painful for his parents than for him.
