Playtime

I just LOVE these squeals of joy and laughter! This ball is by far her favorite toy.

Christmas

Ryn was a really good girl this year. She was a trooper with her hip harness, multiple casts for her foot, surgery on her foot, and special shoes to correct her foot. Sounds like a lot and she handled it so well, just like a big girl. She was also willing to try new foods. So, Santa was really good to her. He brought her some of her favorite things - toys and lots of books! She loves them all! Thank you, Santa! And, thanks for leaving me a couple of cookies! :)

Baby Food

We've been experimenting with baby food lately. So far she's tried bananas, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and a chicken and apples combination. She seems to be okay with bananas and sweet potatoes but her favorites are pears and the chicken and apples.

Sitting Up

Ryn gets steadier sitting up every day. She is growing up way to fast for me. I'm so proud of her. She hasn't let her hips and foot set her back one bit!

Santa Claus

Eric and I took Ryn to see Santa Claus when we were in Atlanta on December 3rd. She just sat there and smiled. She is such a joy! We are keeping our fingers crossed that she will do as well next year :)

First Thanksgiving

Ryn celebrated her first Thanksgiving by joining Grampy, Grammy, Uncle Allan, Aunt Jennifer and Cousin Caro in Wedowee for an awesome breakfast. Then she rested up for a late lunch in Jacksonville with Pawpaw, Nana, Uncle Manley, and Cousin Lauryn. She loved the attention and had a great time!

Sound Effects

Ryn loves "talking" to us and making sound effects. Lately, she sounds like a motor boat. Of course, she stops when I pull out the camera, but starts again at about 19 seconds into the recording. So cute!
