Hi everyone! Sorry its been a while. Ive had a busy few weeks. My dad and step mom were up from Florida, my uncle died, we had Ryan, Steve and Ally (my niece) baptized, I went back to work, and Zachary has been on all kinds of trips with explorers, Its been just crazy. I survived work Ok. Poor Steve. Ryan was giving him a hard time when I was gone. When I called home he was cleaning carrots out of the babys nose, and (jokingly) said he was looking for my work number to call them and tell them I quit! I said "its not too late! I will find the number for you!!" He did just fine. He is a great dad. He is better than a great dad, he is the best! Im not worried what so ever. Im actually enjoying working nights. I have all day with the kids. Ryan is now 5 months old already. I can hardly believe it! He has grown so much. He is about 19 lbs and already so smart. He reaches and grabs for things (like Steves chest hair, he grabs and twists, sending a grown man to his knees. He also likes to pull my locks from the roots.) and he just started rolling over a few weeks ago. He is a busy kid. Constantly moving or squirming, jumping and bouncing and twisting. Makes it hard to hold him sometimes! We were at the Doc yesterday who called him the energizer bunny. He always has to go go go. Ryan is gonna RUN before he walks! He is already starting to crawl. Not quite a crawl, more like a scoot. Today I put him on the floor in his room, on his playmat and surrounded him by a bunch of toys. I was in the bathroom (right next to his room) drying my hair and he was talking up a storm. I go in there, maybe 3 -5 minutes later and he has scooted himself about 6 feet toward the door of his room! Ive got to be careful, cant do that anymore! I will post a pic of that later. He has started on baby food and cereal. Its fun to have him try new foods. The only thing he doest like so far is peas. Zachary is getting out of school tomorrow. Explorers has kept him busy. picnics, rope obstacle courses, fitness training, shad derby security. Its such a cool program. He went to NYC for the day, saw a ground zero, a police museum and even had free time in Times Square (in groups). I was a wreck all day worrying about him! He has a girlfriend, but now that schools over Im not sure how that works. He doesnt actually communicate with her outside of school. I try to get the 411 but the last thing he wants to talk to me about is a girl!
