We have a 2 month old!

Ryan turned 2 months old on December 29th. He has been growing so fast and has really put on some lbs. Dad weighed him on his birthday and he weighs 15.6 pounds.  Mom has had to pack away all of his newborn clothes and most of his 3 month outfits. He has been wearing mostly 6 months clothes!

First Smiles

Ryan is now smiling. He had his first smile while playing on his tummy time mat 2 days before he turned 6 weeks old. Mommy got so excited she screamed and scared him out of smiling again for a day. Mom and Dad love spending their time trying to get a smile out of him. Although he smiles a lot now, it has been hard to get on camera.

First Playdate

Mom has a friend that had her baby, Jackson, 2 days after Ryan was born. The boys got together to have a playdate - well, it was probably more for the moms.

First Christmas
Not only was this Ryan's first Christmas, it was his first time visiting Santa. We had a great experience visiting Santa at the San Jose POA.

Ryan has been a social butterfly attending all kinds of holiday parties this month. He went to Jeff's work holiday dinner and met all his Schwiers cousins at their annual Christmas get-together. He celebrated Christmas Eve at the Vidmars'. His cousins Jack and Justin were very good with Ryan and Jack even offered to teach him to do summersaults - we may have to wait a couple years for that.  Ryan also got to celebrate with his soon to be family the Bernardos. On Christmas Day, Ryan found that Santa had come. He got a lot of presents that came in his very own personalized sack. ]

Later in the day, he celebrated at the Maisens and met his Great Aunt Theresa, Uncle Mike, Aunt Heather and Cousin Finn.

First trip to the snow

We left for Tahoe on Thursday after Christmas. We couldn't believe how much stuff we had to pack. The trip up, we only had to stop once, and it was more for Dad to get a Starbucks. Ryan got to see snow and Mom and Dad even had a chance to ski a little thanks to Grandma and Grandpa. We were up in Tahoe for Ryan's actual 2 month birthday.

We got a smile!!!
