Ryan Update

I know it's shocking to find a post about Ryan, but anyway, here goes...

This morning I laid Ryan down on a blanket on the living room floor while I made breakfast. I do that pretty much every day, but when I went to pick him up a little while later, he had scooted his way completely off of the blanket! Pretty impressive since he was on his back!

Usually I leave him on the middle of our bed every day when I shower, and today when I did he turned himself around 90 degrees and moved about halfway toward the edge of the bed. So from now on I won't be doing that!

From the very first time we took Ryan to his doctor when he was just a few days old, the doctor said, "Start childproofing your house now." All we've done so far in that category is buy cabinet locks and electrical outlet covers, but I'm thinking we'll start installing some of those this coming weekend. Not that he'll be crawling tomorrow, but it'll be here before we know it!

Ryan's Blessing


This past weekend was Ryan's blessing. I have to say, the moment you realize that you are married to a man who worthily holds the priesthood and is able to bless your healthy, happy little boy is pretty amazing.


My mom came for a visit to coincide with his blessing, and it was really special to me that she was there.


We took tons of pictures, but none of just Ryan. Boo. In any case, here's one of the better ones...

Isn't He Cute??


This is Bryan's and my new favorite picture of Ryan. We took this at the airport on our way back home from San Diego when Bryan decided to let Ryan borrow his hat.

This past weekend we took Ryan to San Diego for a little getaway. He was an awesome little traveler and we all had a great time. It seems like when we're at home, there's always something to do, either around the house or for the business or for our callings. So when we get out of town, it's like being in a different world. We had a fabulous time taking in the perfect weather, great food and fun shopping. Bryan even bought Ryan his first kite!
