Fall Festival

We had our Fall Festival this past Sunday. Ryland had a great time looking at all the sights and talking with all the people.

Here is Ryland and his buddy Kendall.

Ryland and the Pumpkin Patch

Today we went in search of Ryland's first pumpkin! He had a great time and was more interested in picking up hay than picking out a pumpkin. Here are some pics!

Grumpy.....

Ryland is definitely just like his momma in the way that if he doesn't get good sleep, he is a grump! He fussed and fussed this morning until I put him pack to bed. Once he got up a second time, he was a different baby. Good thing....

I would like to go a get a pumpkin this weekend. I'm going to take my camera and try to get some good pics for his 10 month pictures. Wish me luck!

Sign Language

Ryland did the sign language for eat yesterday for the first time. As soon as I do it, he will copy me. I was very excited! He will also blink his eyes when you blink yours at him first.

We went out to eat lunch today with some friends from my old work. Wow, that was weird typing that. Anyway, Ryland had a great time and is quite the little flirt. I had fun hanging out with the girls...it was like old times.....

Where is the fall weather?

I am so ready for fall weather to get here. The weather is so warm for October, we'll probably be wearing shorts to our Fall Festival at church. We bought Ryland a pumpkin sweatsuit to wear, but he may not be wearing it if it doesn't cool down more.
Fall is my favorite season and it's already mid October and I'm still waiting for it.....

Catching up

Ok, so James said I need to update more often. Sometimes I don't know what to write about but I will try to do better.

Ryland just got over being sick. First, he had a stomach virus for 1.5 weeks and then he had a fever on and off for about 6 days. He is finally back to his old self which is great b/c no sleep was wearing on me and him.

Last night I watched a friend's 4 month old. He was so good! It's hard to believe Ryland was small like that. Ryland wasn't so sure about it. It was funny to see him watching us.

ok....that's all I have for now....

Can it be true???

Ryland has gone 4 days without spitting up the quantity he usually spits. Ryland has reflux real bad and spits up more than any child I've ever seen (he and Kendall are a close match). Anyway, he has done so well, I've not put a bib on him for 2 days while we are at home! That in itself is amazing!

I hope he continues on this path....it is so nice!

Then and Now

Just a couple of pics to compare how much Ryland has grown in 6 months. His feet were hanging in the first pic.

Little boy

In one of my previous posts, I said Ryland was little. Here's proof! He's 9.5 months old and wearing a 3-6 month pair of jeans. hehe
I need to buy him a pair of jeans soon, those JUST fit. I think they're cute though!

Sick in Virginia

We just got back from Virginia where we visited James's Dad. Ryland had a virus and it ended up spreading to James. So I had two sick guys. Then I got a little bit of it, so we were pretty pitiful the whole trip. I won't lie, it is so nice to be home. Nobody likes to be away from home when they're sick.
We did get to visit a historical museum and had a good time.

Home sweet home....
