A new lifejacket

Ryan finally outgrew the infant lifejacket - so it was off to the store to get a new one for our vacation. Ryan paraded around the store with it on, much to the amusement of all moms and store employees. Here he is modeling it at home

Steve Urkel? You be the judge...

Mommy and Ryan in the new chair

We got a new chair a week ago, and this is Mommy's favorite place to sit with Ryan

"I'm a baseball man"

Ryan wanted to try his hand at baseball this weekend, so we used his birthday money to get him his first bat, ball and tee.

oops (but note the concentration!)

Fireman Ryan

We have discovered the Sprout show "Fireman Sam" - Ryan is hooked! He found his boots in the closet and plays "Fireman Ryan"

3 days later... we add the jacket

Ryan's Tree

Ryan and Grammy and Papa planted this tree when we moved to this house 2 years ago. Ryan had just turned one when it was planted, so he gets his picture by it every year.

Happy Birthday, Old Man

Sean turned a whopping 40 this year...

It's a BOY (shocking!)

TA-DA! I know you are all shocked that we would be having another boy, but here he is - everything looks great so far. He is due December 8, but I will be having a C-Section no later than December 1st

And for comparison.....

and here is Ryan's - I think it's the same kiddo
