Ryan's 8 Months Old!!!

WOW!!!! 8 months!!! let's see... well ryan is a master at rolling around and he can scoot himself left, right, and back... but he's still not crawling. about 2 weeks ago 2 teeth buds popped up! he's got the cutest little bottom teeth ever! he continues to make us laugh with the funniest faces and noises! and he is baby babbling a lot more these days! still no real words yet though but i have a feeling they are just around the corner! ryan can also sit up on his own... as long as he's placed in that position... he can't push himself up to sit up. he's still eating really well and we just recently got him to sleep through the night! its been bliss! now we just have to work on him sleeping in past 6am! we started him on a routine he eats dinner, takes a bath, relaxes and nurses with me, we read him a story, and we lay him in bed. the first few nights we stayed with him in his room while he screamed himself to sleep... but after that we are now able to just put him in his crib and leave the door a crack open. he plays for a little bit with his bear and is usually out by 8pm! its nice to have our evenings back! kaylee and austin are doing well so far in 2007! they haven't gotten into TOO much trouble at school or at home! On January 6th we welcomed the newest member of our family! My cousin's Nicole and Matt had their baby boy named Lukas! My aunt has sent me a couple of pictures and he is just too adorable! i can't wait to meet him! Well thats about it for now... so here are some pictures!!
