2 months old!

Today Ryan is two months old. He had his Dr. visit and weighed in at 8 pounds 13 oz. and is 20 1/4 inch long. Today he also received his first set of shots. Poor Ryan was so happy and chillen on the table getting examined until the shots came. He was not a happy camper, and has given mom a hard day of crying and being Mr.cranky, grumpy, fussy pants!

Ryan has really started to come into his own. He is pretty good with a schedule of eating every 3-4 hours and loves his baba.(bottle). Ryan is also spoiled by his mommy and daddy who let him sleep in bed with them so they can get a few more hours of shut eye. He is able to track toys above his head (mobile and jungle activity mat). His head strength is also getting stronger and he enjoys tummy time to an extent. I am still trying to get him to smile for me when I make a silly face, but were just not quite there yet. He may be 2 months old, but because he was a month early some things may need a bit more time to catch up. No worries, he has a lifetime to smile for mommy!

Grandparents visit

March has been a busy busy month of visitors. Today Grandma C left. We are now on our own for a couple weeks until uncle Henry arrives April 14th. Ryan has enjoyed all his company and getting to meet his family.

He has really begun to see the world around him. He likes to relax under his jungle mat, and enjoys watching his music mobile go round and round in the crib for a couple minutes. We have also started doing bath time in the tub, and he seems to do okay.

Ryan weighed 8 pounds 3 oz on March 17th when we went to the Drs for a visit. He goes for his 2 month shots on Thursday.

We are getting excited to hop off the island April 26th, and also have another trip planned to North Carolina to meet his extended family and Great Grandparents and NJ for a week!

Visitors

Ryan has had lots of visitors over the last two weeks. He met his cousin Cara last week along with Aunt Amanda and Uncle Michael and we made our first trip to the beach. This week his Grandma Dicob and Great Aunt Jane came to visit him. We have been busy touring the island, and today he had his first trip to the Aquarium and Zoo.

Ryan has enjoyed having lots of people hold him, feed and change him. He is not going to know what to do when its just back to the two of us all day long.

Next week Grandma and Grandpa C are coming to visit!

In other news we finally have all the documents needed for his passport, social security number and US citizenship filled out, along with the cutest passport pictures ever. We have an appointment with the US Consulate here on the island on March 29th to submit everything. Our first trip planned off the island is to Boston for the week of April 26- May 3rd. Andrew has a conference in Boston for work, and it will be good time to visit his "Aunt" Shannon, and "Uncle" Jeff, and Chris as well as Amanda, Michael and Cara.
