Sorry I've been so bad at updating lately. It's been a busy few weeks and going to continue to be that way for a little while. Also, I recently got Mike's old iPhone since he got the iPhone 4 and so I check everyone else's blogs and all other Internet related things that way. I tried to start a blog post from the phone, but it just wasn't working out so now that Ryan is happily napping I thought I'd provide a quick update.
Lately, one of our favorite things to watch is Ryan's fascination with the 'waving/turning' of his hands. He discovered his hands quite awhile ago, but just recently has I guess noticed that he can rotate his wrist so at various times during the day I will see him intently studying his hand as he turns it each direction (think pageant beauty wave ladies). It is really adorable and I always ask him if he's waving to me and when I mimic the movement with my hand he watches and will reach out to grab my hand or smile. Perhaps our little guy is going to be a music conductor like his great-grandaddy Bob.
Another recent fun thing for him is loud grunting/growling or otherwise what I call his "man noises". He will be so loud sometimes practicing all his different noises and you get some high pitched mixed in there as well. It is really funny and we can't help but laugh at his growling, etc. He seems so pleased with himself as he tries out these new vocalizations.
In the world of solid foods, he's had avocados, bananas & peaches. He liked the avocados pretty good the first time, but wasn't as thrilled the next two. Doesn't seem to care much for bananas, but generally likes peaches pretty well. I've tried mixing with cereal to get him to like cereal, but still no success quite yet. I have tried that stuff and I can see why he wouldn't be a big fan. He's had rice and oatmeal baby cereals and I just switch back and forth every couple of days now. So, we'll just keep trying- I believe peas are on the menu this week.
Other news, I enjoyed visiting with some old college friends last weekend at Elizabeth's bridal shower and luncheon in Dallas. Mike got to stay home with Ryan for over 3 hours (so far the longest I've been away from him). We also enjoyed entertaining our friend Kristy Wood from San Antonio and look forward to visiting she and her husband John in San Antonio in August. Lastly, I am excited for Vivian's baby shower that is coming up this weekend and happy for some more girl-time. I think that's it for now, hopefully I'll update again soon with pictures! :)
