Ryan is now 4 months old, and he's still growing! He weighed in at 15lbs 9oz at the doc's the other day. We've been enjoying our time as a family the past couple of weeks since we are moving to Colorado next week! We're still awaiting the lender's conditions, but it's looking like we just might end up owning a house. Yay! Either way, we're still moving to CO.

Last weekend we went to Florida for a friend's wedding, and this past weekend we joined from friends on the Madera Wine Trail Tour. Madera is a small town just north of Fresno. We ventured to 5 wineries where we enjoyed music, art, live animals, food samples and many wine samples. It was a lot of fun. Ryan tagged along the whole day, and he seemed to enjoy most of it. He was definitely tired by the end of the day. Below is a pic taken at our last winery stop of the day.


Today was a beautiful Fall day in Fresno, so Ryan and I spent some time outside and took some pictures. I think they turned out really good. ENJOY!

This past week was spent in the sunny state of Florida! Ryan and I went down early to spend time with friends in Jacksonville, while Tom came down a few days later to attend a friend's wedding in Daytona. All in all, Ryan's first major trip was a success, however, it is hard to travel with an infant. The change in time, along with all the outings way past his bedtime led to a very tired and often cranky baby. He was great on the plane - everyone around him loving him. Now that we're back home it is time to re-impliment the routine!



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!
