Halloween 2011

Thanks to the seemingly unending creative talent of +Karen Joseph, Amber and Evan once again had seriously excellent Halloween costumes this year. They were characters from Toy Story, with Amber being Jesse and Evan being Woody. They wore their costumes to Sea World and Magic Kingdom and got crazy amounts of attention wherever they went.

Another Month

By: Shelsy




Evan is getting bigger by the day. He's now up to 15.5 pounds. It's practically an Olympic sport to hold him. He constantly tries to propel himself out of my arms and across the room. And he just rolled over today for the first time!

Three Months

By: Shelsy





I can't even believe it's been three months already. The time is flying by. I blinked and suddenly he wasn't a newborn anymore. He is quite a happy baby. He smiles all the time. He rarely gets upset, and when he does, it's usually because he's sleepy. This child loves to sleep. He gets upset if he wakes up and still wants to be sleeping. He fights hard to fall asleep. He is very different from his sister in this way. Amber, even as a newborn, used to fight hard to stay awake.

Amber's first Bible verse

Amber has successfully memorized her first Bible verse. She loves reciting it and is (of course) super adorable doing so.

Site redesign

If you always read our posts via email or in Google Reader, you should definitely take a minute to visit the site itself. Just head to RyanAndShelsy.com to see the complete redesign. It's faster and cleaner, while still maintaining the original design idea of the first site.

Posts are now collapsed, making it easier to scroll through the main page without having to scroll past an entire post to see the next one. Beneath each post is a big, "continue reading" link that will take you to the full post with more pictures, etc. You'll also notice new social sharing buttons below each post, including Google's new +1 button.

Thanks for continuing to read our little blog here. It's hard to believe this site has been up for over 3 years.

Big Boy

By: Shelsy

Believe it or not, yesterday was Evan's six-week birthday. I can't even believe it's been six weeks already! He weighs 12 pounds, 9 ounces. He can hold his head up, though he's still a little wobbly. He also smiles a ton--so cute! Everyone always asks how he's sleeping, and I'm happy to report that he's an excellent sleeper. He's slept "through the night" (5 consecutive hours) a couple of times now. He generally wakes up 2-3 times during the night to nurse. I can't complain at all.
