5 Months, and life's Good!

Ryan is thoroughly delightful lately. It's hard to imagine she's the same girl who was colicky for awhile. This clip is a great depiction of her general demeanor.

Thinking on her Feet...

Ryan is enchanted by her feet lately.

It might be these ADORABLE flip flops. (Just what is it about baby shoes that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside anyway?)

Or the fact that when I put her into her sling she folds up with her feet up to her chin.

Or maybe she's just bored.

Whatever the reason, I'm grateful. When we found ourselves at the water park with no pacifier she got resourceful. Look closely...that's her TOE she's gumming.

She was so popular, too. Everywhere we went peoplesaid, "Oh, look at those beautiful eyes! She's so perfect. So beautiful." I agree.

Fireworks and Friends...

Ryan's 1st 4th was a hit.

We had a delightful cookout at Nana and Granddad's followed by fireworks.

Here Ryan and Cayd Russ sport the colors.

Brother and Bryton had fun, but didn't like the fireworks.

Cayd busting a move. We need to get these two a "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet!

Grosing Out Brother...

Driving with the kids:

Ryan: Aah-choo!

Wyatt: Beh-Doo (Bless You)

Pause

Wyatt: Eeeeeewwwww!

Ryan Sierra at 3 Months...

This is my baby blankie, given to me in 1976. I love this blankie.

So when it was time to make Ryan her blankie we opted for a similar color scheme...May our similar blankies tie us together in love!

She does look precious in it. She is so beautiful.

World's Best OB!

Ryan can't have a blog without a picture and shoutout to the man who helped her into the world.

Despite the ominous-sounding name, Dr. Hannubal is the best. We had a fantastic birth experience with him at the helm. He adores Ryan (as well he should) and has such a gentle, loving spirit.

We're starting a Dr. Hannubal fan club if anyone is interested. Ryan's the President.
