Milestones

3 months old! Friend Becca (a jack-of-all-trades, whose history includes shark biologist and professional photographer- amazing!) came over last week to get some shots (Thank you Becca!)- here are my favorites:







First movie: Baby Einstein's "Baby's First Sounds" (Thank you LeighAnn!) He thoroughly enjoyed it, as did big sis Cate, seen here hogging the Bumbo.


Ryan has taken to sucking his left thumb lately- a LOT. I try to replace it with a pacifier, and he's fine with that too, but really, it all boils down to the very strong possibility that he may indeed become a thumb-sucker. I have to admit, he DOES look pretty cute, and it's amazing to me that he can consistently get it in his mouth at only 3 months old.


First swim! But no pics, as I was alone at the pool with both kids while Mike was in the U.S. last week on business. We will head to Waterstones again this weekend, and I will be sure to get shots of Ry-Ry enjoying the pool- he does really seem to love it!

Talking! Wonder where he gets it from? If he's anything like me and Catherine, Mike is in serious trouble. Here's a shot Becca took as he babbled away to me. He's got "AAAAA" "OOOOO" and "UUUUU" down pat! And sometimes, if he really concentrates, he'll get a "BMMMMM" out.
