Tribe Time is Over...for now...

Did you know the night Ryan was born, the Cavs were playing in the NBA finals? (they lost) And now poor Ryan has witnessed another Cleveland team fall. Despite Ryan's ultimate fan gear, the Indians lost to the Red Sox and did not go to the World Series.

The First Dinner

Witness Ryan eat his first meal

Introducing...Solid Foods! (Rice Cereal)

Now that Ryan is over 4 months, we have started him on rice cereal. For anyone nearing this step, these are the required tools...don't forget the bib! We used the high chair to get Ryan used to eating in the kitchen, and figured we paid for it, we should use it!
Ryan eats his bib in anticipation
The first spoonful...
Most of the food ended up on his face...
After 3 spoonfulls, we called it a night and will try some more tomorrow!

Dinner with Cathy and Sanmy

Cathy came for dinner. Ryan was surprised to hear that his mother used to babysit for Cathy. We realized we were old when Cathy couldn't believe that we actually mailed letters back and forth with our friends when we were in college, and Cathy used e-mail!

First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Ryan and his friends Darren and Julia made their first trip to the pumpkin patch. Ryan enjoyed the hayride out to the patch.
We stopped to pick some cotton.
Ryan was meant to be a farmer!

Four Months!

A lot happened this month! Ryan can now hold himself up while lying on his tummy. He can also turn over, laugh out loud, babble, has great head control, pays attention when we read to him, looks at Charlie, and is finally on a consistent eating schedule! We are still working on consistent sleep! Ryan will be celebrating the big day with the Lembecks at El Azteca!

Happy Gram!

Today Ryan got a Happy Gram for putting his own pacifier in his mouth, and for turning over from his back to front 2 times in a row!

We are so happy that Ryan waited until he was at home that night to show us that he can also go from his tummy to his back also!

Take a Hike

Ryan enjoyed his first hike along the Chattahoochee
