The Mountains

Grandma and Grandma took the family on a vacation to the mountains in South Carolina! (yep, there are mountains in South Carolina!) We also spent time in Brevard and Asheville, NC. Ryan had a great time with his cousins Ethan and Noa.
After a day of hiking and shopping with the mothers, Ryan and Noa were exhausted!
We got to see lots of beautiful waterfalls! Ryan enjoyed an hour and a half nap in his stroller by the waterfalls as we pushed him up the mountain!
Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed having all of their grandchildren together under one roof!
Ryan learned the joys of being swung by mommy and daddy.

Centennial Park

In honor of the upcoming Olympics, we spent the morning at Centennial Olympic park! I played in the fountain with Ryan...he cautiously enjoyed it.

We went over to the grassy area and Ryan played with his favorite toy...his ball! Ryan loves to chase his ball around outside or in his playroom, and say "baaalll, baaalll"
It was an exhausting day...

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!!!

We spent the weekend in Las Vegas at a wedding...while we missed Ryan a lot, we still had a great time! I even won some money!!!

Our hotel, the Wynn was beautiful...we recommend staying there whenever possible!!!

Glamour Shots

Popo and Nanna came for a week and stayed with Ryan in Atlanta while we went to Las Vegas for the weekend. Grandma and Grandpa, Eileen and Mindy were so helpful!!! Before leaving, we went and had a photo session for Ryan's 1 year pictures! Poppo chased Ryan around the place while we picked out the pictures...

cookout!

Ryan enjoyed a cookout with his friends Henry and Darren. Here, Ryan sits in Darren's lap...a rare moment when they were sitting still!
While Darren played in the sandbox, Ryan just played from the outside. The highlight was when Ryan dove in head first with his mouth open to eat the sand...
Henry, Ryan and Darren enjoyed their cookout...hot dogs, corn, fruit, and milk!

Some Steps!

Here are some of Ryan's steps that we finally caught on camera!
