So obviously, I haven't blogged in awhile. We have had an extremely busy summer and boy has it flown by! Ryan celebrated his 5 month birthday in June and 6 months just last week. This boy has changed so much over the past few months that there might be a picture overload in this post. :)
Ryan has been eating baby food all summer and loves it! I am making it all from fresh veggies and fruits. It's easy to make and only takes about an hour every couple of weeks to stock the freezer. He has had sweet potatoes, green peas, avocados, pears, apples, carrots, bananas, and apricots (yuck!). He did not like the apricots, but has loved everything else. He is also drinking some juice and water. Thank goodness our little one loves to eat!
We have been to visit Huntsville Pediatrics twice this month due to Ryan having a "summer cold." He has been congested, hoarse, and puny. A lot of that comes from teething, but we were given the ok to start giving him Motrin, which helps a good bit. His bottom gums are swollen, but we haven't seen any teeth yet. We have a good friend, Heather Pettit, who works at Arab High School as the nurse. She has been such a blessing to us because she has saved me from calling the doctor a few times. It is so nice having her right down the street and she loves Ryan and really gives me good advice. :)
I have been working on my School Counseling Intern hours this summer at the high school which means I have had to leave the little guy three days a week. My mother in law has been keeping him two days a week and then he has had the best babysitter, Mallory. He loves Mallory and we were so blessed to find a babysitter who loves him like we do. He will miss seeing her every Monday since he will be starting Gilliam Springs CDC on August 12th (more on that in another post).
My sister introduced Ryan to dirt this past weekend! He LOVED it...like any boy should! Ryan loves his Aunt Babby because she is very entertaining to him! :)
Alright, now for some updated pictures. Sorry for the long post...I will try (haha) not to wait two months until the next post.
