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!
