25 weeks! And another milestone!

Happy 25 weeks to our favorite little guy!

Ryan, 25 weeks

Ryan's 25 week picture also captures a major milestone.  Ryan fell asleep on the way home from Oma's house this afternoon and Joe transferred him to his crib so he could sleep more comfortably.  Ryan is the king of 30 minute naps, so after 30 minutes, I heard Ryan babbling in his crib.  I walked in and saw the back of his head, so I figured he was practicing crawling.  When I came closer, I saw that NO! he wasn't crawling, but he had apparently SAT UP ALL BY HIMSELF!  I'm so bummed that I missed seeing him do this, but I'm so proud of him!!!  So awesome!!

This past week, Ryan has also had his very first cold, which I think was scarier for me than him.  It started with Ryan acting a little funny this past Saturday night, followed by a fever, and then lots of congestion.  Instead of letting him sleep in the crib, we had him sleep in his Rock N Play because it was inclined and not flat (to help with his congestion, etc).  His sleep has been alllll jacked up, so Joe and I have some more work cut out for us in terms of sleep training him (again!).  Ryan's on the mend now, thankfully.  Through it all, he was still a very very happy baby!

24 weeks!

Yes, I fell off the wagon for awhile, but I'm hoping to be back on track soon.

There's our happy boy!

Ryan is still progressing MAJORLY with crawling.  He definitely has the leg motion, but hasn't quite figured out how to move his hands.  Once that happens, our lives will change incredibly.  We haven't started baby proofing at all, and I have a feeling that will come to haunt us!

So, this past weekend, Ryan attended his very first wedding!  He did GREAT during the ceremony--didn't cry or fuss at all.  The reception was another story.  Ryan wailed for a little over 2 hours and would not be soothed.  No walking, bouncing, feeding, or shush-ing would suffice.  I thought he was probably overtired, but even after getting him into a dark room and trying to feed him, he still wouldn't stop screaming.  Eventually, I put him in his carseat and swung him back and forth and he finally drifted off.  I figure this is just evidence that he is a very regimented little boy and does not like deviating from his routine!  It took us a couple of days to get him back into his regular schedule and routine.  Mommy and Daddy definitely learned their lesson that sometimes, a babysitter is worth it :)

We have a 3 day weekend coming up (hooray for Memorial Day!), so we can't wait to spend it with Ryan!

Slack, slack, slack!

I fell off the wagon again.  Surprise surprise!

Check out the latest video of Ryan's progress with crawling!  He is getting SO CLOSE to crawling, which is wonderful and scary all at the same time!

Five Months!

Our favorite wonderful little guy is five months!

Ryan's a little less than 5 months in this picture, but it's too cute not to share!
