Spoon

Here are a few pictures of Ryan learning how to use a spoon to eat his cottage cheese. We've come to the conclusion that Ryan will be left handed just like his Uncle Brent!

Thanksgiving

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great time celebrating the holiday in San Antonio with Grandma and Grandpa and the rest of the Weilbacher clan!

Here we are packed up and ready to hit the road. My goal was to leave at 9:00am and we miraculously pulled out of our driveway at 9:03am. I am very thankful for my time management skills!

Here is a picture of Ryan getting ready for the 5-hour + drive to San Antonio. I am thankful for such a happy, go-lucky kid.

The ride down to San Antonio was not bad at all. Ryan did a great job sitting in his car seat for such a long period of time. Of course, Mom and Dad took turns entertaining him by reading countless books.

Once we got to San Antonio and got settled in, we decided to go to Kiddie Park. This is the oldest kid's amusement park in the United States. It was built in 1925 and is still running today!

Here is a picture of Ryan and Mommy on the carousel!

Grandma, Grandpa & Ryan

3 Generations of Weilbacher boys -- Daddy, Grandpa & Ryan

All the rides at Kiddie Park were made just for kids. At first, I was a little worried that Ryan would be too anxious to ride by himself. Oh. . . how I was mistaken. Check out the "No Fear" attitude that Ryan has in the next few pictures and videos. . . .

Ryan got some bonding time with his cousin, Lauren. I am thankful that Ryan has cousins of all different ages that he can grow up playing with.

Ryan also got to hang out with Mia, a daughter of one of Bobby's childhood friends.

Check out how much they have grown since last Thanksgiving . . .

Upon our arrival home, we found that our neighborhood rabbits had their own Thanksgiving feast while we were away.

Ryan's Run-in with a Chair

Ryan had a run-in with our living room chair, specifically the leg of the chair. Check out the knot on his forehead - this one along with many others looks extremely painful but if you can imagine the kid shed one single tear and then moved on.

Superman is so Sleepy!

We had an eventful day in the Weilbacher household this past Saturday. We discovered Ryan is cutting not one but two teeth. And, they just so happened to be the most painful one's because they are the dreaded molars. As most know, Ryan is one tough nut. He's really been acting good given the circumstances but on this particular day he was fighting his afternoon nap with everything he had - crying and carrying on. I put him on the couch and turned on some cartoons for him to settle down and have some quiet time. And look what I found a short 5 minutes later. . . . (turn your volume up to hear the snoring and all!). . . .

Fall 2010 Pictures

Here are "just a few" of my favorite pictures from our most recent Fall Photo Shoot with Jill Ann. I laugh because I was so worried that Ryan wouldn't smile for the camera. . . boy, was I mistaken! ENJOY!

Oink! Oink!

Here is our little piggy enjoying his new favorite food -- Cheese & Broccoli Rice. Yummy but very messy to clean up!

Beers & Burgers

Ryan and his cousin Lauren met up for beers and burgers this weekend. Here are some pictures of them catching up on the latest happenings. . .

"M" stands for Mischief

I feel like I am constantly blogging about Ryan's mischievous ways. I can't help it - he gives me so much material to work with! Here are some things that I have caught him doing within the last 48 hours. . .yep, all of these things happened in just one weekend. Can you imagine what we discover in a week timeframe - mind blowing!

Here is a video of Ryan learning that a bar of soap doesn't taste as good as food!




After dinner, Bobby and I were busy doing the dishes and we look behind us and found Ryan standing on the table.



This was just a matter of time - he's been eyeing those fun pine cones for weeks now!



Then, we had an incident where we needed to get the BIG ladder out. I was throwing a blanket up to Bobby standing on the 2nd story. I threw it so hard that it got caught in the chandelier!

Of course, Ryan had to help Daddy on the ladder. . .

Funny!

Here's a quick video of Ryan laughing at Daddy. Too cute!

Welcoming Santa to Frisco!

We, along with every other family in Frisco, went to Stonebriar Mall to be a part of the Santa Celebration. Ryan loved watching Emmy-winning David Chicken and his sidekick Chachie "The Chihuahua" entertain the children. Check out the crowd at 9am on a Saturday morning. . . WOW!



Ryan loved looking at the various characters that were walking around. In the comfort of our arms, Ryan loved touching the Build-a-Bear Characters. . .

We went over to Santa's station and checked out the clowns. . . this one in particular caught Ryan's eye because he was standing on stilts.

Here we are waiting in line for our balloon animal. . . took a matter of 5 minutes before Ryan had it in his mouth. Are you surprised?

Mommy and Ryan watching the David Chicken Show.



Towards the end of the show, David Chicken asked if there were any parent volunteers to come up on stage with their kids to do a little song & dance. To my surprise, my dear husband jumped up and grabbed Ryan to join in the festivities. Here are my two shining stars on stage. . .

Doin' the fish dance. . .

At last it was time to welcome Santa to Stonebriar Mall, we were right in front to make sure Ryan had the best seat in the house (AKA: Daddy's shoulders).

Ryan is stilling thinking about what he wants Santa to bring him for Christmas. So, we'll come visit him again once we can get our list together. . . .stay tuned!
