Ryan's Baptism - February 21, 2009

I think this has been the longest I have gone with a post and I have a ton of new pictures.

Ryan received The Holy Sacrament of Baptism on Saturday, February 21st. It was a wonderful celebration with family and friends. It was great to have my family from Arizona there. We had about 50 people at the ceremony followed by a reception at Theresa Teran's house. Richard and Frances are Ryan's godparents and Monsignor Sheahan, a long time family friend and priest did the ceremony. Ryan was such a good boy he did fanatic, we couldn't have asked for more. He was happy, talking and smiling the entire time.

Thank you to everyone who attended this special day. It means so much to Ted and I that all of you were there and shared in the event.

After church it was only fitting to have Ryan change into a more comfortable outfit!!

On the move

Ryan decided today was the day that he was going to give in and crawl. Up until now he has been doing the elbow crawl. This morning I looked down and he was crawling straight towards the TV remote as if he had been crawling for months. Being the planner that I am you would think that I would have the house baby proofed but I haven't even started. I guess I need to go get some plug things and a couple of gates.

Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds for my Valentine's Bear!!

First pictures we have that show off his teeth!!

Love this picture

Not much new............

Not much new in our house. Ryan is still trying to crawl, he is getting his four tooth, and is babbling all the time. Those who say it just gets better and better I now believe you. He is so much fun and I never realized that I could be so attached to this little person. He is such a blessing.

Ryan and I went to Sydnie's 1st birthday party this weekend, it was unbelievable. Sophia did a wonderful job. They had everything you could think of for birthday party she even had a butterfly release. I was trying to think of what Ted and I would want if we had a big party for Ryan's first birthday. Our dream party would be to have the USC band and the In and Out Truck but I am sure it will be more like cake and ice cream for the kids and alcohol for the adults.

Superbowl

Ryan turned 7 months the same day as the Superbowl. My mom sent us all shirts but since Ryan's was a little to big I decided to make him one. If the Cardinals make the Superbowl in 2015 Ryan will have a shirt to wear. I am not sure where the creative thought came from but it worked. Although the outcome wasn't what we wanted it was a great time.

We also took Ryan to the doctor on Friday and he has finally slowed down in gaining weight only a few ounces but grew almost an inch in 3 weeks!!!
