Rylan's Update

Ok, Grandma T. I know I've been slacking on the blog lately, but here are some new pictures, and I promise there are more to come in a day or two.

We have had a busy week. We came to Abilene for Thanksgiving. For those of you who have babies you feel my pain when it comes to packing. I swear our next car needs to be a 15 passenger van just to get all of Rylan's things. Plus, we have the added luxury of fitting a 65 pound dog somewhere in our vehicle. Anyway, we got here and we are very happy to say that Rylan slept the entire 3+ hour car trip.

We had snow...actually lots of snow on Thanksgiving Day. It was so much fun and for once it finally seemed like late Fall/early Winter in Texas. We rushed out to get some family pictures in the snow because snow on the ground doesn't last long here.

Since I haven't posted lately here is an update on Rylan's newest things:

1. Rylan now has 2 bottom teeth. The first one came in on the 17th and the second followed close behind on the 2oth. During that time we had no idea he was teething because he was never fussy. My friend actually was the one to notice his first tooth at a football game.
2. Rylan is now crawling!! He started off crawling a little last week, but now he is basically on the go as he pleases. I guess it's time to make a trip to Babies R Us for some baby gates. Our days of leaving Rylan on a blanket on the floor while we do some chores are over.
3. Apparently our baby is half human half crocodile. We are having the hardest time changing his diaper and dressing him. He is constantly trying to roll over onto his belly when we lay him down. No matter how much you hold his legs down the entire upper half of his body can still twist all the way around! Diaper changes are now mostly a 2 person job...one to hold him down and one to wipe...guess which one I get?!

Well, we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We feel like this is absolutely the best holiday season ever for us since we have our precious baby this year.

Nonni bought Rylan a Jumper Roo for their house and it was a hit!

Rylan after a Biter Biscuit. I have to say the idea of a Biter Biscuit is great, but the Swiffer Sweepers and Spray and Wash should be sold right next to them in the store.

As Daddy would say...Just Chillin'

Rylan, you are the best looking little man I have ever seen. I can just barely see some hair on top of your little round head. I believe you take after grandpa Torke.

And your looks! Wow! I would just love to squeeze you.

Love
