Labor Day Weekend
We spent Labor Day weekend in H-Town. We drove down Saturday and had dinner at Sinh Sinh...yum! It seems like it's the only restaurant we *have* to eat at whenever we're in town. We did dum sum on Sunday at the old school Golden Palace. Houston is synomous with food to me. Can you tell? At least I've got my Asian food cravings taken care of!
On Monday, we swung by Cindy and John's new place on the way back home. It's a really nice house. It's funny because the house seems to be geared towards really tall people, which is perfect for John!
Ed and Sara were in town along with Ed's dad and step-mom. Alice and Colt were also in town. It was good to see a lot of the family and hang out.
The first picture is of Sara and Ed with Ryan, the second picture is of Ryan chewing on butterfly antennae and the last picture is of the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile!
Ryan was really good the whole time. I think he really likes his Auntie Sara. He peed on Auntie Al...hehe...he really does like giving her a hard time! He started eating the entire 4 ounce jar of baby food in one sitting. Steven and I are both impressed. I've been feeding him half jars mixed in with rice cereal, but he was really hungry for some reason this past weekend. He's still drinking 6-8 ounces at each feeding too. It's no wonder he's moving up in the growth chart!
Within the past couple of weeks Ryan has started jumping like crazy. It looks like he has springs for legs. At least he's making the most out of his Baby Einstein jumper. Ryan has also been raising his arm above his head and bringing it down really fast. It looks like he's trying to flag something down. He usually does it while he's eating, but he also does it when he's playing with his crab rattle. When he does it with his crab rattle, I have to shield his head or else he just bops himself in the head with the rattle! Ryan's also inching along further and further when he's on his tummy. He's still really good at rolling to get where he wants to go. He's also doing better at sitting unassisted. He can go for longer stretches of time, we're up to 2-3 seconds now. :)
Sounds like nap time is over!
We are raising a little baby bully! We went to a music class at Heartsong Music last week with our mom's meetup group and Ryan bullied two other babies! While we were waiting for the class to start, Ryan was sitting on the floor in front of a mirror (because we all know how much he loves mirrors!) and another baby sat next to Ryan. The other baby was a couple of months older and Ryan reached out and grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to the ground!!! Then, during the class, Ryan was laying on the ground on his back and he grabbed the shirt of the baby next to him and yanked, luckily, I stopped him right before he went for the baby's blonde hair! Who knew Ryan would be such a bully!
