Ronan had been crying because he had a very poopy diaper…poor baby! He gets really uspet if he even has a wet diaper. I cleaned him up and he started smiling at me! Posted by Picasa


Ronan loves baby einstein…i’m just wishing we owned a different copy! I heard you can get a whole set of them at cosco, which saves you lots of money from buying them individually. Posted by Picasa

I am really tired! Ryan’s office/storage room is now just an office. Sure it needs some organization and finishing touches, but contains no storage items. Even the closet looks nice and neat, with everything being easily accessible. Ronan took some good naps today, which was the reason I got so much work done. I was able to put him down for movie time and finally eat something too. He did bite me today, twice. The first time was on my arm and it really hurt! I was so upset and put him straight down for a nap. He fought it for awhile, and finally I realized he needed a diaper change. But then he went right back to sleep. What a good baby! He seems to have gained a whole lot of more personality in the last couple of days. He makes a lot of funny noises and expressions now too. He actually tried to stick his tongue out (for the first time!) at Ryan and I tonight! I laughed so hard! It seems like he will not go to sleep with out his bottle at night. If I try feeding him, he just keeps latching off and getting distracted and fussy. He ate some more swede tonight at dinner and loves his fruit puffs!

Left the camera at home

No pictures today…
though there would have been a lot of good photo ops:
1) As we left the house for church, we saw the usual seven wild neighbourhood turkeys in the yard next to ours.
2) The look on my face as we pulled up to a church we chose to try out, and saw jumping castle set up next to it.
3) Ronan, facinated by the ceiling fans, keeps looking up and leaning his head back.
4) Ronan singing and dancing to the worship band…he loved the music!
5) Daddy holding Ronan in his arms as they sing out praises to God.
6) Already chewed, soggy, and sticky fruit puffs (in a new cherry flavour) going from Ronan’s mouth to his clothes….gross!
7) In the nursery, Ronan plays with a over-sized rattle on the floor. He love rolling it around and hearing the noise it makes.
8) Ronan smiling back at everyone (from his jeep) who comes over to tell him how cute he is!
9) Ronan meeting Justin and Audrey, as we wait for the potluck to start (a. this is the reason they had the jumping castle, b. what a great day we chose to start coming to this church). Justin has been in the USMC for four years and they just arrived last week from his last duty station in Hawaii. He will be learning Arabic. They also found the church from the website. What a coincidence!
10) A very little girl walks over to Ronan to see why he is crying. (He has missed two naps already…) He immediatly stops crying, when he sees this adorable little girl (reminded me of shirly temple meets olivia from the Cosby show) I wasn’t sure if he was facinated by her or intimated. He loves “older women” but when girls near his age come over, he clams up. If their mother comes over, he smiles away!
11) Ronan being rocked to sleepin his jeep by one (of many) friendly church members, so Daddy and Mummy can get their food.
12) Daddy and Ronan looking for a super soaker at Target
13) Daddy and Ronan looking for a super soaker at the PX
14) Daddy and Ronan sad because they cannot find a super soaker.

15) Mummy trying to figure out why they don’t have any socks for Ronan’s foot size. They have 0-3 months and then shoe size that is three times bigger than his foot!
16) Ronan sitting in between Mummy and Daddy on the couch as we watch the Godfather, pt. 2.
17) Ronan laughing and talking with Daddy as he is swaddled and in his bed. (Around 1700 sometime.)
18) Mummy and Daddy wondering how long Ronan will sleep for as they finally make it to bed (its now 0200)
