4 Months Old

Our little boy is 4 months old today! We are so lucky to have such a happy boy!!




Raylan loves to:

  • Smile
  • Laugh and giggle
  • Make funny faces - especially his scowling face
  • Stand up (whether someone is holding him, in a jumper, or ExerSaucer)
  • Grab and hold toys
  • Bite and suck on whatever he can get in his mouth
  • Drool
  • Pop his nook in and out of his mouth all by himself
  • Talk!! (and make funny sounds using his tongue!)
  • Be scared!!
  • Snuggle with his Sophie the giraffe
  • Listen to music
  • Have tummy time
  • Sleep/relax in his crib (getting better each day!)
  • Have warm baths
  • Get his hair brushed by Daddy ;)
  • Play peek-a-boo or where is Raylan?
  • Roll over (rolled over for the first time 1/11/14)
  • Make raspberry noses
  • Watch TV
  • Keep an eye on his big sis, Bailey 
  • Be naked!


Whoa, bright flash!

Florida!

On Christmas Day, Raylan and I hopped on a plane to go to sunny Fort Myers, FL to meet up with Mimi Molly, Papa Dave, and Uncle Ryan. It was the first time Ray has been on a plane and my first time going on a plane alone. It is a little different having to lug everything around by myself! Our flight was delayed 2 hours but Raylan didn't seem to mind...he was 'talking' to everyone around us :) Raylan was such a good boy on the plane - slept the whole plane ride down :)

Ready to go to warm Florida!


Mimi, Papa and Uncle Ryan greeted us when we got off the plane


On Tuesday, December 31st, Tyler came down to Florida. We were very excited for him to come!



This trip was the first of many for Ray! He got to:

  • See the ocean & touch the water with his toes (he wasn't quite sure what to think of the cold water!)
  • Ride in a boat on the ocean 
  • Wear a swimsuit and go swimming with Uncle Ryan in the pool
  • Have Uncle Ryan change his poopy diaper for the first time! Without gloves even :)
  • Sleep in a pack-n-play




Headin' to the beach to see the ocean


"You have a baby...in a bar!" Taking a break from the boat ride and getting some lunch at Parrot Key


Batman loves to stand up! But only on his left leg!


Soakin' up some sun! 


He loves his Sophie the giraffe! He is always snuggling or chewing on her ears!


Happy Boy! Ray LOVES to be naked!


Papa helping with bath time! Look at those cheeks! Uncle Ryan also liked to help with bath time and get Ray dressed for the day :)


He loved the swing! All smiles!


A cold day shelling! 


A BIG thanks to Mimi Molly and Papa Dave for letting us come down to visit and stay in their beautiful Florida home! We had such a wonderful time!! We are so very lucky to be able to go there! And thank you for helping out with Raylan! It's always nice to have an extra hand :)
