rj is enjoying time on his own more and more. here he is on a mat that has things dangling from it that he is noticing now...here’s a video to demonstrate!


so talented!

random videos

as expected, ryan is his daddy’s favorite subject...therefore we have quite a collection of videos of the little guy. here are a few for your viewing pleasure!

cool looking dude


two month doctor’s visit (pre-shots!)

two month immunizations

first, i want to thank all of our friends who responded to
my email regarding questions about immunizations. after mulling over all the advice and reading various opinions, we went ahead with rj's 2 month vaccinations, as scheduled. he got all but the rotavirus, which he’ll get at 4 and 6 months.

all in all, he did great...such a brave little guy. the first shot didn’t seem to phase him at all, but the next two...oh boy. in the next several hours that followed he was pretty uncomfortable...just kept crying even when dennis and
i would hold and soothe him. we’re sure his little legs were pretty sore.

however, this morning, he seems like his old self again which makes his mommy and daddy very happy. we have
a couple of months until the next round...thank goodness!

rj and his daddy the morning of his immunizations

all smiles just before leaving for the doctor’s office.

here’s a video clip from the doctor’s office. rj did pretty well, considering, but as you’ll hear, mommy was pretty upset.
