Well, we did get a new vacuum. We got a Dyson thanks to Aaron's hot tip we got a smoking deal and now our carpet is clean, clean, clean. No hair to be found. However, since the shedding is so bad, I have to vacuum EVERYDAY (maybe other people vacuum everyday but I'm more like a twice a week kind of gal) in order to keep the hair under control. Evidently this lasts until nine months, so we have a while to go.
We don't have much to post about. Ryan went to his four month check up. He is in the 95% for height, so he is about to hit the height limit on his car seat and some of his toys, so I guess he really is growing. He is certainly learning a lot of new things. He now gives kisses when you say "Ryan give me a kiss" and pucker your lips. But his kiss is open mouth slobbering all over your face. We still think it's cute. He is really working on sitting up on his own and can sit for longer now but he still ends up in the carpet at some point. He hasn's yet perfected rolling from front to back WHICH IS A HUGE PROBLEM. As we put him in his bed at night and he rolls to his tummy and then cries for help because he can't flip back. He is working on it, and hopefully in the next week or two will be able to do it.
We can tell that he wants so badly to crawl as he flips on to his front and them moves his legs like he is crawling, problem is that he doesn't have the arm action down. But it must be working somewhat because he moves around the floor a little bit so he is actually getting somewhere! We are enjoying him immensely because he now has so much more of a reaction to whatever we do. He gets so excited when one of us comes home and he laughs so hard when we play with him.
I feel like I have funny stories, but then they get so old because I don't post that they really don't seem funny anymore.
I have been working on this post for too long as Aaron gave me the tip on the vacuum the day I last posted, and Ryan is now 5 months. Instead of updating everything....here is a nice stale post.
