Ryan's Favorite Things at 7 months!

Last Saturday, March 6th, Ryan turned 7 months. What a wonderful 7 months this has been! Oh, we'd never have imagined how delightful and joyful she is. Ryan is truly a blessing and a perfect gift from our Father! Capturing this moment, I'd like to share what Ryan's favorites are thus far...

Ryan's Favorites:

1. Babbling and squealing! She loves to say "dah dah", "bah bah", and so much more. Everyday it seems like she is saying something new and different. Each morning she wakes up talking and squealing. It is so sweet. Laying on her changing table she will laugh and talk up a storm.

2. Smiling & Laughing. Ryan loves looking at herself and us in the mirror. Laughter is a part of our everyday life. There is nothing like it. She is always smiling (even when nursing) and giving us her sweet looks.

3. Eating...mommy milk and baby food! To date, she's had rice cereal, oatmeal, pears, bananas, avocado, apples, carrots, peas, and Dr. Pepper (Kris gave her some last night at dinner) :)

4. Rolling over and sitting up...yes, we've officially accomplished these two skills. We go from front to back, but have yet to reverse. Crawling? Not yet...

5. Bath time . Ryan LOVES her baths!! She eats the wash rag, chews on the cup we use to rinse her off, kicks and splashes like crazy! We are all wet when bath time is finished.

6. Being outside with Grandpa! Outside is where she belongs! Grandpa and Ryan have enjoyed the outdoors several times lately and with the weather warming up it will only increase.

7. Traveling. Ryan's gone to Chattanooga, TN (2 times), Dallas, Phoenix, OKC, and Stillwater ( too many to count). She is a great traveler!

8. Johnny Jump Up. It's one of her favorites (along with her exersaucer). Jumping, swinging, bouncing, and anything of the like is a fav!

9. Singing along with her favorite songs "When Mommy Wasn't Looking" and "Bigs Bigs Bigs of the Jungle". She loves her two songs!! Written just for her!

10. Sleeping!!! Ryan still loves her sweet sleep! That and her thumb go hand in hand. She's an awesome sleeper (mommy and daddy are soooo thankful!). We can't forget Sophie (her giraffe)!! LOVES HER!!!!
