Christmas




We stayed in Murray for Christmas this year. After two years of terrible travel conditions at Christmas we decided not to risk the long trip with a baby and stay home. It was hard not to see family but it was also nice not to be on the road during such a busy time of year. We still had a white Christmas. It snowed in Murray Christmas eve and early Christmas morning. It was the first time in YEARS! It was all melted by the day after Christmas...my kind of snow! Attached is a picture of Ryan Christmas morning.

5 month update



Ryan is almost 6 months old which means I am a little behind getting his 5 month old pictures posted and updated:)

Ryan's two bottom teeth came in about 4 weeks ago! Yes, at 5 months old he had two teeth come in. He had a few days were he was a little fussy but it seems to have passed...for now! We continue to try baby food. Rice cereal did not go over very well. Ryan favors sweet potatoes and squash over green beans or peas. Ryan is also sitting up on his own! He likes to sit up to play with his toys. He likes anything that lights up or anything mommy and daddy are holding (like the tv remote:) We are also working on crawling. He is able to pull his legs under his body and he will start to rock back and forth but he can't support his weight with his arms completely...yet.

Ryan will have his 6 month doctor's appointment on Monday. I post a height and weight update at that time.

Some other fun things that happened during Ryan's 5th month...Christmas and New Years, 1st Murray State University basketball game and Big Kev came to visit. I have also started adding dairy back into my diet and so far so good! I recently had my first slice of pizza in almost 6 months! Yummy!
