Well today has been a really full day of EASY. I cannot remember how many naps Ronan has had today, but I hope he sleeps tonight. But really we have gone through the whole eating, activity, sleep/me time so many times today. I feel like we have done so much, yet thats all we have done. Do you get it? Ronan ate his bananas outside today, because it was so nice out. He liked playing with the humingbird chimes that are outside. I got to do a lot of knitting today and that is really like the new yoga. It is so relaxing. Ronan is sleeping now and I hope he gets a good nights rest. Goodnight Ryan…we miss you so much! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well we didn’t beat the postman today, so our letter to Ryan will get mailed tommrow. We stopped putting photos in the letters because we know he has limited space for them. We will ask him about them next time he gets a chance to call. We have been praying for Daddy and his upcoming PT testing in week 4. Right now he is in week 2, we believe. It is actually 7 weeks of basic training with weeks 0-6. We are so excited about coming out to see him!

Ronan has been a little ‘cranky’ i guess would be the term. He is happy when you are playing with him but dare to put him down and he gets upset. After he eats bananas it makes him a little happier, and sometimes he is crying because he is just tired. But boy, with out Ryan or Grandpa to play with him, it really wears me out. By the end of the night its baby and mommy who crash into bed. Gnight all…

Ronan got to talk to his daddy yesterday morning on the phone…he really misses him! Poor little guy was upset yesterday because he wish his daddy was there. So do we Ronan….so do we.

Today is Mothers Day! It was just Nonna, Ronan and I today. Grandpa is on TDY, Daddy is at Basic, Zoe is antisocial with her own family…We went to church, came home and had homemade blueberry muffins. We had dinner at Chueys and Ronan had a special treat!

Ronan had his first bites of real food! We had been giving him a taste of things like banana and apples (things he could suck on) and then I also tried putting grapefruit juice in his mouth…which he seemed to think was interesting! He had been pretty fussy, so Nonna took some banana, put it in the vita-mix, and then started feeding Ronan. He really liked it! Some came back out and went back in his mouth again…some went on his onesie…and some made it to his tummy. Looks like his is enjoying it!

Ronan made his first drawing for Daddy on the pack of a postcard. He accidentally got a little ink on his face though! He did it all by himself! I know his daddy will really like it!

Ronan in his new baby carrier….what a cutie! He kinda likes it….at least he liked it for a little while and then got upset later. He has been a little fussy today off and on…which is due to missing his daddy and having shots yesterday. Grandpa left today for Columbia. I thought we might be up when he left at 4 am this morning, but strangely enough Ronan slept till 5 am and then only needed to be tucked in again and went back to sleep. Be safe and have fun Grandpa…you will be in our prayers!
