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.
