Five months old?!

Yesterday, while I was sitting with Nikki and my little Keizya baby, I noticed that Ry no longer has the "cry" of a little baby. He no longer has the tiny breathing patterns of an infant, nor the small grunts and groans that use to escape his little lips. It is unbelievable how time seems to melt away faster than I can breath. Ry has gotten so big and is learning new skills every day. Somehow, my little Ryu is FIVE months old! How did we get here so fast Ry?


How did you grow so fast?
You were so small...a perfect 7 pounds.
Daddy could hold you with only one hand.

But now, you can sit by yourself...just for a minute. You can play with your toys and have so much fun!

You enjoy you thumb as much as you do your bottle.

And...you always have a new funny face to make mommy and daddy laugh!


I can't tell you how much I love my little family. I am so thankful for this chance to be a mommy and a wife. These last five months have been "life changing." The world looks so much different now...in ways that I never knew existed. Thank you Chris and Ry! I love you so much!!


Grandma and Grandpa!

Do you think Ry could be any more spoiled by these two? He has so much fun with his grandmas and grandpas. He is one lucky dude!

I have a good feeling that Ry will learn a lot from grandpa. You know...fishing, hunting , guns, and all the other boy stuff. Although, I might have to take over the fishing lessons! That's my territory!
Nicole and Gavin


Ryu and I were so lucky today! Nicole and Gavin came to visit us. Man... am I glad that I had Nicole to guide me through the transition phase to MOMMY! Nicole supplied me with a lot of advice and "goods" that helped me make the change. I don't know what I would have done without you Cole! Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! We love you!!

Hey, look at that...Ryu is about the same size as Gavin. Can you believe they are a whole year apart? Wow! What is Ry going to look like in a year? Ha Ha!!

What a little sweetie. It goes by so fast! sorry I haven't called, Am's been sick. I'm actually glad that my mom and I were all dirty saturday and didn't hold Ryu, I hope he doesn't pick up the virus, it's lame! She is almost better and should be good to hang out with everyone on saturday if all works out. Love ya

That little guy is just so cute! He makes me want to pick him up and squish him. I LOVE that smile!! Five months? I cannot believe he is that old already. They just don't stay little for very long!

I want to pinch those cheeks! He has grown up so much in 5 months. I wonder if he will grow up with a collection like grandpa's?

Hi Suzy! This is Steph. Robby has no idea how to add people to our blog, so....when he asked me to add you, I thought I'd drop by and say, "hi." Ryu is adorable. I absolutely love his cheeks! I can only imagine how much fun you are having watching him grow. We are so thrilled for you both.

Suze I love that post. Your picture comparison was so cute! I'm so lucky to have such a happy baby, and there really are times that I almost wish she would keep crying or fussing, because I know the cute little fussy's won't last very much longer. I've officially put up her first round of clothes that she's grown out of :( It was really sad. She's already getting big Sue! She actually fits into her fuzzy jammy's now :( I think her and Ry are a lot alike...she's happiest in the morning, and sometimes I see Ry's expressions in her. Thanks for being such a great Mommy and raising such a great cousin for her! Love you Sue!
