Ryan is 4 months old!

Ryan turned 4 months on October 21st. He has grown soooo much!
We just had his doctor's appointment this week, where he received 2 shots + an oral vaccine, but he was a super-duper trooper, and cried for only about 3 minutes.
He is weighing in at a whopping 7.2 kilograms, which is 15 pounds, 14 ounces! Now remember, he started off at 5 pounds, 11 ounces....which means that the kid has packed on over 10 pounds in 4 months! WOW!
His personality is really starting to develop now, and so far all signs point to a very happy boy! He's already a huge talker and will literally talk to the wall if left on his own for a period of time. He's getting stronger and stronger and has mastered holding up his own head. He can sit up in the Bumbo now, and has been introduced to his super-cool excersaucer, which he already loves and will stay in for as long as 20 minutes. He likes direct eye-contact, and will wiggle and squeal with excitement when he gets it- so cute! He has a HUGE smile that melts my heart every time!
Ryan LOVES LOVES LOVES Catherine and giggles in delight whenever she gives him attention. I remind her that she is his first friend, and she seems to take this responsibility pretty seriously, sitting by his side, cooing at him and holding up toys for his entertainment.
We are really enjoying Ryan and are so thankful for him!
