Just a short one...

Hello family - just a short picture update, then it's off to bed. The first picture isn't really of Rya at all, but thought you might like to see who we got to meet...


Yuppers - that's us with DANE COOK 12/6/07!!


Rya's first visit with Santa - she was captivated by him


Awwww!

So that concludes this edition of picture update. Stay tuned for more later this week ;)

9 Month Check-Up

She's 9 months already...can you believe it?! I can't!! Craziness.

So, here's the scoop: She's 18 pounds 4 oz (just under the 50th percentile - blame it on the teething). Her head measurement is 17.5 inches which is in the 50th percentile. She's 29.5 inches long which puts her...are you ready for this...in the 95th percentile!!! WHOA BABY! Can we say TALL?? Mommy's little model - ha!

She's clapping and walking and eating regular foods like a pro. She's ahead of the game and Mommy and Daddy couldn't be any prouder (um...more proud??...whatever, you get the point!).

Now we're anxously waiting for the big 1 year mark. That means no more formula and on to whole milk - yay! I can only imagine what she'll be doing in another 3 months. She'll probably be creating her own Blog and chatting with all of you...LOL

Picture takin' fools...

Here is a picture update. Rya turns 9 months this coming Sunday, with her doc appointment on Monday. You can expect another update then :)


She poses like a model :)


Look close - there are 2 teethies there!

October Picture Update

Here is a short slide show with the latest and greatest pictures of Rya Faith. We got her play area set up and it's SOOO cute. Now she has a safe place to play, and if she takes a tumble, doesn't get any major injuries. She got her first cold and fever on Thursday thanks to daycare (gotta love mothers who refuse to medicate their sick child) and then Roy had it by Saturday. Luckily, I've been given a reprieve this time around **fingers crossed**. She's started using a sippy cup - doesn't quite have the hang of it yet, but we're working on it. She also waved "hello" for the first time on Saturday, but that's still pretty irregular at this point. It was more of a mimick action than really understanding what it meant - though it was still cute :) We're gearing up for Halloween, which is just around the corner...can't wait. Stay tuned for tons of pics of Rya in her first costume :)
