Holiday Happiness

Ryan: "Who's this Santa guy? And why is there a tree in my house? Ooh...I like the lights, and I really like this paper and ribbons! Wow! More things for me? I'm so lucky to have so many nice people in my life!"

Happy Foosball!

We finally fixed up the game room (now family room) with new flooring and paint, so we moved the furniture and recently added a foosball table. Ryan got to be the first one to break it in and attacked the soccer ball like a good boy!

Rollin' With The Homies

Ryan rolled for the first time all by himself today! Grammy Liu leaped with great agility to snap these photos. As you can see below the little guy was quite proud of his accomplishment. All the cheering in the room probably didn't hurt either...

5 months old

Since it's chilly out, we've been squeezing beanies onto Ryan's big noggin; this one is supposed to fit babies who are 6-9 months old (we'll see how long we can keep it in use). He's now about 18.5 lbs and has lots of smiles and laughs for friends, family, and even strangers. He's eating a bit of rice cereal once a day and sleeping more at nighttime (from 10 PM - about 4/5/6 am then back to bed until about 8/9 am) but still only takes 30 minute powernaps during the day. He still loves his fish balloon but is now entertained by fingers and feet, especially ones with white socks on them. We've also pulled out the Graco entertainment seat (thanks to the Giffins for passing this one down to us) and he seems to like all of the toys on it.
