Ryan's First Halloween

I LOVE my Precious Puppy! Halloween was great this year because we got to dress up our little guy.  Well, I did dress up my other little guy too, Ike, he wore his pumpkin t-shirt. He was not happy.

Ryan loved his costume.  He liked how soft it was and even squealed when we put it on him to go to our neighborhood block party. 
Here's Ryan in his costume:

About 25+ kids attended the party this year. It is always so nice to see the kiddies all dressed up and running around on the lawns at the last cul-de-sac in our neighborhood.  It was the perfect day too. Nice crisp fall weather. Just beautiful.

Here's an interview with Ryan about his first Halloween Block Party.  Please click link below the picture for a 32 second clip.

Ryan - Watch me grow!

Ryan is 5 months old today, so this will be our "Thursday" blog! In 5 short months, he's done a lot already! He's been to FL, WI, and Asheville, NC. Like all good Atlanta babies, he's been to the Georgia Aquarium. He's also learned to nurse, roll from back to front, smile, laugh, squeal, coo, give kisses & get people's attention with his cuteness & his crying. He's found his hands and feet and knows that he is a separate person now. He turns when you call his name.  I am sure I am missing many milestones, but most importantly, he's found a way into our hearts.

This week at babycenter.com, it says that babies Ryan's age should be honing in on sounds and showing a range of emotions. Ryan is, of course, composing a symphony. He's advanced. (-; Actually, he is vibrating his lips a lot to make sounds...precursor to pa, ba? Anyway, he sounds like a little motorboat sometimes. See video with "Birthday Bunny" below.

Finally, to document Ryan's growth, I have taken pictures of Ryan at 5 & 8 weeks and 3, 4, & 5 months old next to a stuffed bunny ~ now known as "Birthday Bunny." Seen in video above. Took this idea from Claire (my neighbor and friend across the street) - she did this with her son, John. Enjoy the changes!

Above is a link to our newest favorite activity, BOUNCING!

It took me days to post this clip because blogspot only allows so much in video size.  To get around it, I went to my youtube account and uploaded there, so you could get the whole video of him bouncing in the door jumper.  Be sure to click the youtube link above and not the picture teaser I posted with this blog.

Finally, Ryan is 5 months on Wednesday & if time permits, we will have a 5-month special edition for that too - if not, Ryan's post will be updated on Thursday. Until then - Enjoy Mommy's Favorite Bouncer!

Special Birthday Edition

Hi Everyone! It was a wonderful birthday today.  Here are a few pics of Ryan and Daddy while having dessert in Historic Roswell this afternoon. Dessert, for Mommy & Daddy, was fantastic.  Lemon Coconut Cake!

Sorry, can't remember the name of new place we had our dessert.  Our lunch was at Ceviche.  Ceviche is great but unfortunately, our favorite places: Fickle Pickle & Kelly Kakes are closed on Sundays.  For our out-of-towners, here is a link to Historic Roswell.

Ry Ry the Superguy-21 weeks today

Wow! Okay, so this is my first ever blog...inspired by my Auntie Jayne in CA. I hope family & friends will use this to keep up with Ryan Charles Puyleart aka...Ry Ry the Superguy...or for an international twist, Ry Ry el Superguy. 

Today Ryan was cranky.  He had many things to say and most of them were complaints. He did; however, have his first bowl of rice cereal.  That provided our midday entertainment.   

Here is a picture of Ryan after his first bowl of cereal. He liked it today. I will wait 3 more days for his next bowl just to see if he has any allergic reaction. Until then, he is just fine nursing & will start purees next month. 

For those who like video, here is a recent favorite of Ryan in his exersaucer.

Hope you liked this one.  Jumper video coming soon.  Be prepared for total cuteness! Well, as if that last video wasn't total cuteness already!

Hugs & Love,
The SE Puylearts
