Christmas in Colorado
Hello all!
The last month here in Colorado has been eventful. My Escape has been fixed so now it handles in cold weather. Ryan turned 5 months old on Dec. 15 and we decided it would be a good idea to take some pictures in the snow and by the tree. Tom and I have an offer in on a home, but since it is a short sale we have no idea when we'll hear back. We're just waiting patiently on the Lord to provide the best house for us. Evergreen is a wonderful town that will always be close to my heart, but I am looking forward to having a home in a new town. Christmas celebrations are underway! The Wassmer's will get here this week, and it will be a wonderful white Christmas in our house, one more time.

Ryan liked helping us pack
The first week in Colorado it snowed a few inches, so Ryan and I went outside to play for a couple of minutes. It was nearly 0 degrees outside. And by nearly I mean it was in the negatives. I took a few pics and we ran back inside. But the falling snow flakes didn't seem to bother Ryan much.

Today Ryan got to visit with Santa for the very first time. He enjoyed telling Santa what we wanted, toasting marshmallows by the fire pit, and walking around the Christmas Tree farm. Here's a couple of pics from the day.

This video was shot while at the Gambino's house - Ryan was just cracking up at Chris. I am glad I was able to catch it on video. Until this week Ryan would only squeal, but this is the first time he's laughed like this. It was adorable.
This video I got as Ryan was sitting! I placed him in a balanced position where he was able to hold himself up for a little bit. He's getting so strong now - he can sit and stand with help, and he can spend many minutes on his tummy!
I wanted to make sure Ryan got to experience the beach for the first time before we left Florida, so Tom and I took him to a place in Ormond Beach to stand in the water and see the waves. He seemed to enjoy it all, even though it was too bright outside for him to open his eyes. I expected him to cry, but he was just taking it all in!

Videos of Ryan
Videos of Ryan
I've been catching some moments on video but haven't posted them yet. Here's a few for your enjoyment! One is Ryan playing in his exersaucer, another is daddy and Ryan messing around and the last one is Ryan and Payton getting excited and geared up for Monday Night Football where the Broncos beat the Chargers 34-23!
One thing I've been trying to catch on video is all of Ryan's smiles and words. He's talking so much and it's just adorable. I love it when he looks right at me and has a whole conversation going with all his noises. He'll make all kinds of noises, blowing bubbles, and even squeal with delight as he speaks to me (or sometimes an inanimate object). Ryan loves smiling at Grampa Mike's barn painting on our living room wall. However, once I pull the camera out, he just stares at it and stops all his previous gestures. I've even tried hiding the camera, but it's really hard to get him on video unless I hold it infront of him. I'm sure he'll overcome his shyness one day. We'll see!

Happy 3 Months and Halloween!
Ryan and I went to JC Penny again to take pictures in his halloween costume and to celebrate his 3rd month birthday. As a bystander, I bet it was funny watching the photographer and mommy making all kinds of motions and noises to get Ryan to smile. Being the camera-shy boy he is, he barely smiled. Of course he's all smiles when we get home. Ryan also had a hard time looking away from mommy for the pictures. I'm okay with that. I literally had to be cheek-to-cheek with the photographer to get him to look at the camera. And the shinanigans begin!
I am astonished at how quickly he's growing. He's becoming such a big boy. He can hold his head up 90 degrees when on his tummy, roll over and he's more vocal than he's ever been. He like talking to the ceiling fans and smiling at Grampa Mike's barn painting on the wall. I guess it's funny? His favorite time to talk is when I put him down for a nap. He'll spend 15 minutes talking himself to sleep. Ryan also is learning to laugh. He's squealed with delight a couple of times when I've played with him. Talk about making your heart melt! I am not sure how much he weighs now, but I'm going to guess he's in the 14-lb range now. His next appointment is in November.
Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

Ryan's learning to talk
I caught Ryan doing his best to talk. He usually does this when he's starting to get tired and it's close to nap time. I love it though, just watching him make these noises, it's so cute!

New Things
One my hats - it's the smallest one I have right now. It was too big to go swimming in.
Me and Grammy chillin' on the bench in my backyard.
My first time swimming in my new floaty. I don't fit quite yet, so we stacked it with towels to keep me snug. The water was cold at first and I cried, but I was also tired and hungry. After mommy fed me I was okay until I started shivering. I wanted to go down the slide, but mommy said no. Bummer.
