Okay, so it’s babble- but I swear he’s telling stories. In the last 2-3 weeks Ryan has been keeping us entertained. He’s “talking” quite a lot, punctuated by squeals. We would find this endlessly entertaining, but Ryan is only good for a few minutes of “talking” at a time, when he’s in his best moods. He will bless us with his ‘stories’ a few times a day though.
Dave thinks he’s reaching for toys. To me it looks like wild flailing and accidentally hooking a fist around something. Often my hair, necklace, or sometimes a toy. He doesn’t seem to know he’s snagged anything.
I unofficially weighed him a few days ago (bathroom scale and math: me + baby, and figure he’s up to about 14 pounds now. So hopefully he’s slowing down if he’s only gained a pound or so in the last month. I was afraid he’d weigh 40 by his first birthday.
I’ve been pulling out all 3-6 month clothes that we have – Thanks again Eric and Em. I’m shocked to find some of them are already snug. Some 6-9’s fit and some of his 0-3’s still fit well- kind of confusing!
Ryan’s favorite thing is still to be held, more than not. And I pretty much have to be up and moving for it to be acceptable to him. Good for my innate laziness to be challenged in that way I suppose. Funny that when Dave gets home Ryan can spend hours upon hours gazing adoringly up at his dad as he’s held by him without so much as a whimper…. traitor.
