some progress being made...

so i forgot to mention this past weekend that i am sitting up now! i have been toying with the idea for quite some time, i really just prefer the upright position over laying down. apparently a natural progression would have been rolling over, then sitting up, but eh...whatever.

anyway, mommy and daddy are so proud of me that i am sitting up. they do talk alot though about rolling over and i can see as a result my tummy time each day has really increased. don't they realize that is hard to move dead weight! its quite a struggle trying to move on my belly, especially in this heat around here. soon enough though...crawling comes next, and i can't wait to get over by the coffee table and see whats under there!

this weekend is poppop and debbie's wedding, so we are heading to DE for a visit. i don't think i am going to the wedding, maybe to the rehearsal dinner, but not the wedding. daddy says i will get to meet a lot of family members that didn't get to meet me yet. i guess i better be good, as usual! haha.

oh...the pool was great on sunday. we swam a lot more and i was pooped! i think i am really starting to like the pool. me and mommy might go back this afternoon since it is sooo hot out!

talk to you guys soon!

what a week!

a bit of a crazy week here...when mommy dropped me off at daycare on thursday, there was a note on the door. i guess one of the kids (they won't tell us who), had some sort of strange virus. they said they took action to rid the place of it, but it won't be until 5-15 days until you know if you have it. i think mommy has been worried though. she keeps feeling my head and asking daddy if i feel warm?

yesterday was my second trip to the pool, first with mommy and daddy together, but we had a great time. in fact, i think we are going back today. it started off kind of rocky because some sweat (laced with sunscreen, the powerful stuff) dripped into my eye. This caused my eye to get red and irritated, then because of that, my skin around my eye got a little red. So, i think mommy and daddy thought i had "the virus", but it was just sunscreen dudes!

The pool was great though, i got to swim around a lot, and daddy took me into the big pool, until he got yelled at! Geesh...no diaper wearers in the big pool! Mommy and Daddy shoudl really familiarize themselves with the rules...its kind of embarrassing. Saw some other kids there too with their own mommy's and daddys. speaking of which, can someone remind me, that when I am about 1 and a 1/2, not to act like a bumbling fool! if one more kid points out that I am a baby, i am goign to scream. look buddy, i am just trying to enjoy the pool, oh, and ... Stop splashing me!

ok...rant over.

we capped off the day with a trip to our church's festival in hoboken. The st. ann's festival was pretty nice. it was a beautiful night. we also walked around hoboken, and i saw where mommy and daddy lived before they got married. glad i didn't live there, it was a walk up! Plus the idea of an occassional roach sort of turns my stomach!

ok, going down for my morning nap, then off to the pool, hope you all had a nice weekend!

happy anniversary!

happy anniversary to mommy and daddy today! two years ago they got married. they claim it feels like 10 years ago, whatever that means! i love you guys! oh, and lucy said happy anniversary too!

friday night mommy and daddy went out to celebrate their anniversary and left me with my babysitter suzanne. lucy really likes her, i am sort of indifferent. usually don't spend much time with her because its usually almost my bed time when she comes over...

i wasn't feelign all that well yesterday. i had a small fever according to miss pat at knowledge beginnings. she stuck her finger in my mouth to see if i had anything sharp in there, but she said she didn't feel anything. apparently in the coming weeks and months these razor sharp bones are going to be piercing through my gums. can't wait for that...ugh.

daddy heard that some people are actually reading my blog, which is great, but we are not sure if its true. no one has left a comment, or even a note to just say hi ry-man! you can comment on each post, just click the 'add comment' portion below my post.

hope to hear from you all real soon!

where you been ry-man?

well, its been over a week...sorry bout that

had a pretty exciting week. aunt kelly and jake came to visit us from pittsburgh. it was a nice visit . they came in on monday and headed out thu morning. we got to go to our weekly new babies group meeting, then the next day we went to the beach. it was cool and cloudy though, and jake was not liking it that much, so upon everyone else clearing the beach, we took the hint and headed out. we beat daddy home from work, which that day was at the golf course. its still not clear to me what he actually does...but he seemed pretty happy about his score!

jake seemed pretty easy going. i noticed he is pretty quiet, even when he cries. i told him he just belt it out if he wants some attention, but his mom seemed more attentive than mommy and daddy. daddy always wants me to cry it out...mommy disagrees though (thanks mommy!)

daddy had friday off so we hung out quite a bit yesterday and today. he is getting pretty excited about eagles training camp starting. mommy just keeps telling him how sundays in the fall are going to be "different" this year. this seems to be an area of conflict...stay tuned!

In a couple weeks my pop-pop is getting married, so we will be heading down to Delaware for that. I think I am giong to be spending lots of time with mom-mom that day. i guess too i will get to meet a lot of our extended family.

hope you are all doing well, and sorry for the lag between updates!

wednesday in july

just another wednesday in july. actually its my first of many to come, but i heard daddy telling lucy that these are the dog days of summer. i think he thinks she is going to talk back to him one of these days...

yesterday we had a great trip to costco. mommy and daddy spent a lot of money there. daddy got his favorite buffalo bites, and i was even a good boy while he sat and ate! they got some beach chairs and a beach umbrella for aunt kelly and jake's visit next week. apparently it may be back to the beach for the day! should be interesting having another little bugger around the house! I hope mommy and daddy don't get confused as to who is who.

Last night i think i found my feet. i tried to get them into my mouth so i could taste them, but they are just too far away. it seems like an attainable goal though! Daddy got a real kick out of it though! i am here to entertain :)

hope all of you are doing well!

starting to like the beach...

had a great holiday weekend. i didn't make it for the fireworks last night, but i did hear some bangs and pops. Daddy and Mommy watched the fireworks on tv this year, daddy was tired from being away all weekend.

we had a great time at uncle jim and aunt tracy's beach house. we got in late on friday night and left just before lunch time yesterday. Got two great days at the beach. A little girl even came up and started talking to me. She was OK, and I didn't have the heart to tell her, but her swim top was starting to fall down and reveal thigns that i shouldn't be seeing for years!

man was the boardwalk crowded though! so stimulating. i stayed up as long as i could to see as much as i could, but it was getting late. i guess i missed out on trying some of daddy or mommy's ice cream.

i just checked daddy's website, still no recent pictures. Hmmm...he did however put a link to my blog here. Oh well, he always tells me and mommy how busy he is!

should be a fairly quiet week this week. mommy is finally done real estate class, so she will be home in the evenings now for the most part. i think next week mommy said we are getting a vistitor, kelly and her son jake? not sure about this, but i am sure it will go well. nobody likes having a screaming baby around! ;)
