Ryan Update!

Our lives are slowing down a little after all the excitement that happened in September. We've been able to rest and relax, and we've been enjoying watching Ryan grow. Ryan is getting so big, so fast! He will be 8 months on Sunday, the 19th. It's hard to believe that in just a couple of months we will be planning his 1st birthday party!

Ryan is getting his 5th tooth in! Unfortunately, we are still working with him on sleeping through the night. When he's teething, he seems to wake up once and then go back to sleep almost immediately. When he's not teething, he will usually go several weeks without waking up during the night. We are looking forward to the time when Ryan has all his teeth! He's been eating one fruit, one vegetable and still drinking about 3, 8 oz. bottles of formula a day. He will feed himself the bottle if we place his hands around the bottle for him. We like that!

Ryan started talking a little more. He says "da da!" He hasn't learned to crawl or walk yet. He will just spin around in a circle if he's laying on his belly. It's still nice that we can put him in one spot and we know he's gonna stay there. We aren't too concerned that Ryan isn't crawling yet.

Here are a few pictures that have been takeng recently. Check back in to see more!
