Father's Day

2011 Fathers Day

Sunday was my first father's day and we had the entire family over.  Both Grandpa's, Marc and myself celebrated Father's day with some BBQ on a nice sunny Sunday.

Ryan is growing each day and looks a little different every time I look at him.  

Ryan was also able to land a job at Richmond Elevator, he will be the official check cryer.  Every time my father writes a check, Ryan will cry for him.  This will save my father some time as his tears sometimes smear the ink on the check.

Cousins

Cousins

This week Ryan was able to meet his two older cousins: Nicholas and Emily!

Since Kari and I come from such big families, cousins are just like siblings.  So it was really nice to see Emily and Nicholas with Ryan.  This is just the beginning as there are a slew of new 2nd and 3rd cousins to meet...most recently, we welcome Brian James to world.  He was born on Thursday, June 9th.  He was 8lbs 1oz and 22 inches long.  All the best to Liz, Sean and Liam!

Cry if you want to

Ryan's First Bath

It has been an interesting week trying to figure out Ryan's feeding patterns and more importantly his sleeping patterns.  For the most part Ryan is giving us a solid 3 hours of sleep at night.  We had 1 or 2 nights where he woke us up, but otherwise has been great.

We decided it was time to give Ryan a little sponge bath and see how he liked that.  To sum it up, he hated it.  I captured some nice photos of him really testing his vocal range and came close to popping a few blood vessels.
