Last weekend, the weather was so nice that we were able to eat lunch outside! Ryan joined Mama and her girlfriends for a ladies brunch. Ryan knew he was going to see Ava and Demi, so he started practicing his poses.
As Banking Center Manager, I have to be sure I hire and retain the brightest and best bankers and tellers. Meet our newest teller...Ryan! Ryan was greeted by his boss, Client Care Manager Mr. Bernel. (or Uncle B) Ms. Danielle helped show Ryan the ropes.
Ryan learned how to use a money counter.
I showed Ryan how to use the microphone at the drive-thur station. Ryan just wanted to eat it.
After all of his training, Ms. Danielle and Ms. Jasmine put Ryan to the test and let Ryan run some transactions! He had a great day at his first day at work!
Ryan is 8 months!This is the first month that he would not sit still for his monthly picture. We sat him up and he lunged towards the sign and crumbled it up. Everywhere we put it, Ryan moved towards it with his new "wounded soldier" crawl. 
A lot has happened this month. Ryan is suddenly mobile. He can pull his body all over the place, in his strange-type of crawl. He can eat little finger food with his pincher fingers (not very well), he started eating yogurt, he is more vocal than ever, he has learned how to have a temper tantrum, he went on the swings at the park, he can almost hold a bottle, and he finally goes back to sleep when we let him "cry it out."
Ryan met baby Ava Wilensky also. He was very fascinated by Ava's grandparents home, because it has lots of pretty decorations, and Ryan loves looking at new things! Ryan thought that Ava was ery pretty too!Of all the toys Ryan has, the one thing that Ryan really moved towards was a 1099 Interest Statement for our tax returns. When we took it away from him, it was actually the first time Ryan cried when we took something away from him. Maybe Ryan wants to be a CPA? We don't know if this is crawling, but whatever it is, we're putting up a baby gate!
Today, Ryan and his friend Ari Myer went to the park. It is nice that we have added the swing to the list of activities for Ryan, since it's starting to get nice outside! Here's a video of Ryan swinging with a cameo by Ari.
The teachers at Primrose did a photo session of the babies dressed as Cupid for Valentines Day. We liked the pictures so much we couldn't wait until then! We think our little cupid is so cute, we wanted to share him with all of you!
