6 months already?!

That is what I said to Michael when we woke up Wednesday morning!  They say time flies by and they weren't kidding!  Holy Cow where has the time gone - sounds like a true mom huh?!

Our sweet baby boy was a CHAMP at the dr. for his check up.  He even laughed when he got his shot - at least the 1st one - he screamed for the last 3!!!  But he was back to smiley as soon as they let me hold him.  Doc was impressed with his strength and how well he was sitting.  I think Doc also said "Man he is an active baby" about 42 times in our 30 minute appt!  Welcome to my life Doc, welcome to my life :)

here are the stats:
Height - 26.5" (but I don't think they measured him right :))  That is the 60 something percentile
Weight - 14lbs 14 oz - that is the 9th (yes NINTH) percentile (Tall and Skinny like his daddy)
Head - 16.75" - 22 percentile
we are working him up to solids 3x a day and Doc says he'll be crawling in no time...here we go!!!!!

And of course, I will bid you farewell with some pictures of the little booger learning to read, acting like a monkey, playing with his toy bin at Grandma's,and enjoying dinner with Daddy at Tokyo...

Cousins, Babies and a Krispy Kreme Doughnut

Personally, I think all weekends should be 4 days... but that's for another post :)
We had a very nice weekend around the town and it was very nice - one small problem...I FORGOT MY CAMERA all weekend :( 

Friday was a mommy/ Ryan day which always makes me happy!  We hung around the house, I got some shopping for baby boy done (thank you Carter's 50% off everything sale!), and we had a nice dinner just us 3 Galloway's!  BTW, Michael has now started calling Ryan Baby G or Little Man G - it's kind of funny!

Saturday we woke up to the FABULOUS news that our friends Nathan and Laura Ealy had their sweet baby girl.  Evelyn Ruth came into this world Saturday morning in the wee hours.  So of course, we had to take Ryan to meet his future girl friend.  He was really chatting her up, but like a true lady she played hard to get and chose not to respond - her beauty sleep was more important!

Sunday Ryan actually took a nap at church - can you hear the angels singing?!  We ventured out with our friends to Moe's after church.  Imagine my disappointment when it was my first time ever at Moe's and they didn't say "Welcome to Moe's!"... let down of the century!!!!  BUT - my burrito was amazing!  Can we say mushrooms on my chicken burrito heaven!  We had a very nice dinner at the in-laws with 4 generations present.

We were a little concerned about the weather on Monday given that weather.com called for a 100% chance of rain.  But, in true meteorologist fashion - they were wrong.  Well, I guess it depends on the definition of 100% chance.  It did rain late in day so I guess technically that covers the 100% chance, but it implied that it was going to rain all day which is did not do... anyway... the day was actually very pleasant.  Overcast with a slight breeze, perfect temperature; couldn't ask for more!  We set up a blanket in the backyard of my in-laws house and spent all afternoon outside with Ryan's 4 cousins.  He had an absolute BLAST!  That child smiled and laughed and played like he never has.  It was very enjoyable to watch.  And of course, he got enjoy his first piece of heaven - a Krispy Kreme Doughnut!  Michael let him lick his doughnut which resulted in pure joy.  So naturally the next step is to break off a small bite and let a 5 month old gum it to death.  He's ruined!!!!  :)

Here's to a short week!  Hope you all enjoy it :)
