Only wants to stand

Since Ryan figured out how to pull himself up all he wants to do is stand up. We have propped up his play mat in front of the coffee table to try and avoid him eating the table and hitting his head. I really don't want him to start walking yet. It is so cute to watch him scoot around on his hands and knees.
We have started giving him finger foods and he is getting really good at picking things up. His favorite is Gerber Puffs but as long as the puffs are not in site he will eat most everything I put in front of him. Tomorrow is Ryan's 9 month birthday.

First Overnight Trip

This is the longest I have gone without posting. I apologize it has been a few weeks. Work was absolutely insane. I worked 19 days in a row and the last 7 days were LONG days!! My mom came in town to help out, I couldn't have done it without her. I didn't have to worry about what time I left or got home. Now I am off until April 27th and I am so excited to hang out with my little guy. Ted and I had been planing on going away for a couple of days since my mom was in town but he wouldn't let me in on where we were headed. Ted surprised me with a trip to San Francisco. That wasn't the last of the surprises. Our friends Chad, Megan (who live in SF), Kelly and Lloyd were there and trip to Napa Valley in a strech limo was planned for Saturday. It was a wonderful weekend. It was so great to get away, Ted and I needed it but Sunday morning I was missing Ryan something terrible. It was great to get home and see his smiling face.

Ryan had so much fun with a card and envelope - who knew!

Ted & Ryan

I have to post these before Ted tells me to delete them.

Standing Up

In one week Ryan went from barley crawling to scooting all over the place and now is pulling himself up. I went this morning to get him and he was standing up holding on - it was the cutest thing.

Lets Dance!!!
Thank you Allison for taking great pictures or Ryan while Ted and I are at work.

Lovin the camera

I crack up every time I look at this picture. I am not sure he can get his mouth any wider.
