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!
