First Art Project!

I have wanted to start art projects with Ryan for a while but being that unfamiliar things scare him I wanted to wait until he was a little older. He has made such great progress lately and he is becoming less afraid of thing so I thought it would be a good time to bring on the arts and crafts. I even found a little smock for him at the dollar store and in my opinion he looks so stinkin cute wearing it. At first he tried to lick the paint and didn't like it on his hands but after he got used to the idea he went to town and created 4 beautiful works of art that are all framed!

Go Michigan State!

My husband has looked forward to the day where he can sit and watch college football with his son and today is that day! Go Michigan State!

Silly Boy!

My camera was sitting next to me when Ryan just started looking up at me with a big smile and then started laughing. It was so sweet so I grabbed my camera and captured a few pics of our happy little boy and his ever so sweet smile! I love that he is so silly and to hear him laugh is one of the greatest sounds I've ever heard!

Baptism

This past Sunday we had Ryan baptized and what a special day it was. It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day as we celebrated with our close family. I've looked forward to having him baptized since the day we brought him home. Thanks to my parents we had a nice celebration after church at their house and everything turned out wonderfully. Ryan was a good boy (for the most part during church). He did however start crying during the actual baptism ceremony when the priest poured the water over his head. Poor baby. However, he looked adorable even when he was crying. Joey and I chose my brother and my sister as his Godparents who are two very special people in his life.

Here are a few pics from the big day.....

Ooh, ah, ah!

Ryan has discovered a love for monkey's and has one favorite monkey stuffed animal in particular that he just loves to hug and kiss. Every time he sees his monkey he says "ooh, ah, ah"! It's so adorable and just cracks me up. He had a very rough night last night due to teething and nothing was soothing him. Well, nothing until I grabbed the monkey and put it in his crib with him. He put his monkey close to his face and shortly after that, he finally fell back to sleep.

Baseball=Fun....Pool=No Fun!

This morning I did the ultimate task....cleaned behind the refrigerator! This was because I dropped our salt shaker behind there and I figured while we had the fridge pulled out it would be the perfect opportunity to vacuum it up and gather any other mystery items we could find. Amongst one of those items was a baseball! Not even sure how the heck a baseball got behind the fridge but yay for balls....Ryan's favorite toy to play with other than trucks of course! He had lots of fun playing with the baseball with daddy and Cooper.







After that we went for a walk and then decided to take a little dip in our crab pool. I thought that because Ryan has been extra happy lately that he just may enjoy his pool. NOPE! He screamed pretty much the whole time and kept saying Uhhhhhhhhhh.....Ohhhhhh! Oh well! Maybe next summer we will have more fun in our pool.

Wordless Wednesday..Books
