Ryan's 4th Month - Feb 2012 part 2

 A day in the Life - Ryan modeling the photographers very outfit - (hint: She owns the I-phone who took it) Getting Ready for his Morning Walk to see the Fish!


 Ryan enjoying a little snack - his teething Giraffe - just loves it!


 Ryan spending his afternoon with the Rugby Club the "Dingos"  - lot's of great individual photos with each of the Girls - he was passed around so much he has a new nickname - "Gilbert" - of course all the passes were backward.



 This is not a new fashion statement - only One Glove - but rather Mommy's attempt to prevent him from scratching his right ear.  Ryan is getting clever and learning how to remove it with his left hand - he is trying to distract Mommy by staring into her eyes - but the photo doesn't lie!


 Mommy's little Angel - starting his morning in a good mood after a nice relaxing snooze........ Waiting Breaking new from Mommy - Ryan is debuting his Polo pajamas - note to all they were purchased at FOS - the factory outlet store so Mommy got a good deal - so she says!



 Editor Note:  Although we do our best to pick only the shots that capture Ryan's best moments - we have received so much feedback on how much Ryan smiles and how happy a Baby he seems to be - let the record show - he does Cry!



 Ryan enjoying his morning walk - looks like Mommy is riding a bit close to bushes - believe Ryan lost his Binky on this close encounter with the shrubs!



 Play Gym time with his good Buddy - the singing COOKIE MONSTER!



 Ryan back out for an Afternoon walk - he is loving the outdoors!



 Enjoying his walk around the Condo - going to miss the nice Warm weather in KL - need to take advantage as much as possible these next few months!




 Just Chillin in the Rocker - waiting for the Evening Bath.



 Ryan inspired by his trip to the Rugby pitch decided to try his hand at American Football - looks like he will be a Righty - but showing good form with his grip!



 Ryan back in the pocket - looking for his Mommy to get open - a few pats of the ball while he buys some extra time!



 Ryan showing his disappointment at the lack of open receivers - decides to pull the ball down and get a push from Daddy in his trolly in search of the First Down!



 A few candid shots of Ryan hamming it up for the Camera - takes after Mommy - he has never met a camera he doesn't like!



Ok - maybe Daddy is pushing the Football a little early but after a day at the Rugby pitch with Mommy- I want Ryan to get used to a game where he can throw the Ball!



 Almost time for a bath - a little game of catch before cooing down!



Ryan is closing in on the Big 4 months - but he is much more active during the daylight hours - is developing his hand eye coordination - and starting to play catch with Daddy - well at least he likes to suck on the football - but you have to start somewhere right?

Ryan's 4th Month - Feb 2012

 Ryan starting his morning in the play gym working on his Tummy Time!


 We are lucky if Ryan lasts 10 mins before he is ready for his cool down and onto his next activity - but luckily today he is a lunch date with the Popescu's -so his schedule is full. 


 Ryan's first lunch date - he was chaperoned but he still loves to be held and enjoyed his date with the Popescu's - Thank you to Auntie Dana for the lovely flowers for Mommy and the great new toy for Ryan!


 Mommy is getting more clever - just when I thought we have debuted all Ryan's new Head Gear - Mommy buys the Hoodie - Ryan seems to like it!


 Mommy and Ryan Modeling the new transportation device the Pouch!  Ryan is still getting used to it but we are looking forward to making good use of it.


 We are all taking advantage of Ryan's new interest to explore the neighborhood by taking regular walks to the Coffee shops!  Ryan is really enjoying the fresh air and taking in all the new surroundings like the trees, flowers, and Coy Fish - more to show on that later!


 One of the nice advantages of these Neighborhood walks is the fresh air really gets Ryan tuckered out - here is a nice shot of him fighting the sleep before he snoozes away - just for a quick nap allowing Mommy and Daddy to enjoy some breakfast and hot coffee!


 Ryan refreshed after his nap and excited as he is expecting company in the Afternoon!



 Yeah, Uncle Ragesh who is new to the Neighborhood stops buy to spend some quality time with Ryan - thanks for the nice gift as well - like how he is new to the neighborhood but brings us a nice gift - will need to prepare a nice Welcome package soon!


 Mommy and Daddy are really lucky - we have qualified another possible Babysitter - now just need to plan an evening out!  Ragesh passed the hold test very well with Ryan - who loved his time have Ragesh carry him all through the Condo!


 Ryan's favorite hangout at the Condo - the Coy Fish Pond at our Condo - he nows goes there 4-5 times a day to relax from his stressful days of eating, sleeping and playing!


 Mommy and Ryan enjoying the Zen of the Pond!


Enjoying Lunch with Mommy and Ryan and Daddy's favorite Restaurant - Chili's - best buffalo wings in KL!

 Will you be my Valentine?  Mommy and Ryan spending a tender moment to celebrate the Day - Thank you to Grandma Schuster for Sending Ryan his first Valentine!


 Mommy getting ready for a day out with Ryan - she is thinking Daddy needs to loose a few inches around the waist so he can wear this wonderful new "Transportation Pouch"!  With a few more months of our Neighborhood walks - who knows there may be a photo of Daddy using this Pouch!


Another great week for Baby Ryan  - as he continues to explore new things and meet new people - a little R&R for Mommy and Daddy as well!

Ryan's 3rd Month - Jan 2012

 Mommy loves to pick out new Hats for Ryan - as much as she loves new Handbags - Ryan will be sporting a lot of new Head Gear to keep his bald head nice and protected from the KL Sunshine.  One of Ryan's last days having Grandma time in the morning.


 Ryan spending some quality time with his Cousin Diana - she was a great help for Shima during the early weeks of Ryan's coming home!


 Ryan is going to miss his Uncle Kregg and all the Superman flying time he spent with Kregg lifting him overhead - here is a great shot with him returning to the seated position - you can see how much fun he was having.


 Ryan sporting some that great new Head Gear - I love the shirt again a great gift from the Biggest Yankee Fan Ryan knows his Uncle Kregg - the shirt reads - If anyone wants me, I'll be at the Yankees Game!


 Proud Mama - she is wearing her Million Dollar smile because she can share the photoe with her pride and joy ( the new Head Gear!) - just kidding Mommy!


 Ryan is really beginning to fill out the Swing - this is one of the final shots with the Activity Bar still installed.


 Uncle Kregg checking his Fancy Shirt to make sure Ryan didn't leave any extra surprises - by the look on Ryan's face - it would seem that he may have left a little more than some drool there!


 Ryan modeling yet another new piece of Head Gear - Mommy is telling us something with this wardrobe selection - she needs a nice Beach Vacation - we we will work on - but Ryan needs to get some swim Training done in the Big Pool first!


Mommy showing Ryan how to smile for the camera - but Ryan prefers sucking on his hand this month - but still loves it when Mommy holds him close.


 It is now official - the Activity Bar on the Swing is no longer in use - we can only use the Automatic feature on the swing after Ryan passes out!  And even then - we are risking him opening one eye to check and make sure we are close by to push him when he wants us to!


 We added a new Toy to the mix - a Vibrating Rocking Chair - complete with some Activity Toys that can rotate out of the way allowing for easy access.   Daddy wants his own Rocking Chair that can recline into a sleeper!


Mommy having a little to much fun with Ryan's stacking toy - I like the shirt!  



You know it's 5:00 PM in KL when Ryan is sporting just his diaper as he chills before his Evening Bath!  No more Happy Hour for Daddy - it Bath Time for the Boy now!



I like this shot much more for the Background - which is to say that Ryan's photos are everywhere in the house now - he has taken over the entire house - of course he has his Bedroom - the middle Room is now his play room - the living Room is set-up to accommodate his Swing and Rocker - and a museum collection of photos - he of course just loves it!


 Quality time with Mommy - Ryan is spending most of the day very active and alert - with a few cat naps to recover.  We are doing our best to get a fixed routine in place - and Ryan continues to grow every day.


 Just a Classic Shot - had to capture this for his Uncle Kregg - again, sporting his Bills Gear which looks like it will only fit him for the next month - so hint - hint to his Uncle - will need some new Gear before the next season starts this fall!



 Ryan celebrating his 3 Month Day - Feb 4, 2012 - with a swim in our Bath Tub.   Ryan is a real water bug and enjoyed his first day of swim training!


 Ryan basically pushed his way back and forth in the tub - with a little help from Daddy to turn him around so he could do his laps - it is only a matter of a few months before we get him into the Pool.



 Ryan celebrating his 3 Month Day with Mommy - he got to stay up later than normal - but was feeling it in this shot.


 Daddy getting ready to get Ryan into his Crib - Ryan has graduated from sleeping on my shoulder to just hanging out - sleeping in his Crib has become his routine - yeah for Ryan!


Mommy and Daddy really enjoy celebrating his Special Days - we get to enjoy the sweet treats!   Ryan at 3 months old is now 18 pounds and 27 inches long.  He is about double his birth weight and continues to bring us great joy and purpose each day!
