2 months old

On November 17, Ryan turned 2 months old!  We can't believe how much he has grown and changed so far!  He loves to smile and "chat" with us.  His favorite activities are playing with his toys on his playmat and watching the mobile over his crib.  Ryan had his checkup last week and was lucky enough to have his doctors come to our house for the visit.  Mommy was excited to see some of her friends.  Unfortunately for Ryan, they also brought his shots :(  He did great, though, and Mommy is glad he is too young to remember that they were given right on his own kitchen table.  Here is a fun picture of a happy Ryan ready for a walk around the neighborhood on a chilly day.

Ryan's Trip to Richmond

Last weekend, we had another great trip to Richmond to visit family and friends.  Ryan always enjoys staying at his Nana and Papa's house.  Mommy and Daddy enjoy having the extra hands around to help and spending some time with their friends.

Here are some great pictures of Ryan with Nana.  The last one is taken in Papa's office at the law school.  Ryan went for a visit to meet all of Papa's co-workers.  He was a big hit!

Next, Ryan visited Andre's salon so Mommy could get pampered with a manicure and pedicure.  Luckily, Nana was there to take him home, so he didn't have to sit around and inhale those fumes!

On Saturday, Ryan met his friend Libby who is only 2 months older than him!  Libby is Barbara and Josh's daughter.  They were visiting from Charlotte, NC.  These pictures of Ryan and Libby are hilarious.  Apparently he thinks girls have cooties. 

On Sunday, Ryan met Jake, another 2010 baby!  Jake is 6 months old.  Jake's mom is Katie, who was a resident at UVA with Mommy. 

Look at these great Dads!  Jake and Ryan are so lucky!

Finally- poor Duke is still trying to get Ryan to play ball with him.  It'll be a few more years buddy!

Ryan's Nursery

As many of you know, we have been waiting a long time for Ryan's crib and dresser to arrive.  They are finally here!  We are excited to finally start decorating the nursery.  Here are some photos of the new furniture and Ryan enjoying his mobile.  There's still a lot of work to do, but at least the basics are finally here!

Ryan's First Halloween

This year for Halloween the Dynamic Duo arrived at the Chiu household.  Ryan joined his brother Duke as Batman and Robin.  You can tell from the pictures how happy they were to be dressed up!

I think they've just seen the bat signal!

Even superheros need a break!
