Learning to Smile :)

This week Ryan has really been working hard on his smile.  Even though smiles are still often followed by a dirty diaper- we are convinced he is learning how to use it to impress us!  Here are some fun smiling pictures.

This weekend, Daddy celebrated his 30th birthday!  Here are a few cute pictures of Ryan and Daddy:

Here are some other fun pictures from this week:
Where's Ryan?

Tummy time is just too exhausting!

Duke has his own ideas for how to use the Boppy pillow:

One Month Old

This weekend Ryan celebrated his one month birthday- October 17.  Here are some pictures from the last week.

Duke really enjoys time playing on the floor with Ryan.  He can't wait until Ryan can actually play ball with him.

This week Ryan and Mommy took their first trips out of the house.  Here we are at the mall.  Mommy looks a little tired!

Ryan also took his first trip to a winery.  He hung out with his friend James.  Here are some pictures of Ryan with Courtney, Fred, and James.

Finally- here are some pictures of Ryan on his one month birthday.  He is getting so big!  Gotta love the hair- mommy forgot to brush it after the bath and this is what you get!

Meeting the Cousins

It was another busy weekend in the Chiu household!  JC's family drove up from Florida for another visit with Ryan.  This time everyone came including Ryan's two cousins.  It was fun to have everyone in one place.  Here are some pictures.

Here is Ryan with his great grandmother and cousins, Aiden (5yrs) and Evan (16 months).

A Busy Few Weeks

Ryan is now 2 weeks old and has had many new adventures.  Here is a fun picture of Ryan with Papa John out on the deck during his first barbecue.

 

Once the 90 degree weather was over, Ryan was ready for his first stroller outing around our neighborhood.

 

We soon realized that living in Charlottesville would require a stroller more capable of "off-road" adventures and climbing steep hills.  Here is Ryan at Nana and Papa's house in his new adventure stroller.

Last weekend, we took Ryan on his first trip to Richmond since Daddy had to attend a work retreat.  He had a great time at his Nana and Papa's house.  

Here is Ryan's first try at "tummy time."  Definitely not his favorite activity. 

   Having fun with Uncle Scott.

During the trip to Richmond, Ryan got to meet his friend Pax (5 months old), Lindsey's son.  Hard to believe they grow so fast!
