6 Months!

The "little" baby is 6 months!!! And what a fun baby he is.  At 6 months, Ryan is still a despicable sleeper.  He is sleeping in our room and has become accustomed to nightly feedings.  Ryan prefers to be fed every three hours so that he never has to feel any physical discomfort slightly resembling a hunger pain.  Despite Ryan's reluctance to sleep, he is so darn cute.  He is quick to smile and giggle.  Clay is also becoming more and more interested in his little brother, and so we've been having fun seeing them interact more.  Luke and I talk constantly about sleep training, sleep routines, eating before bed to help his sleeping, etc.  The main thing on our mind is obtaining longer stretches of sleep... We're debating putting Ryan in Clay's room, but so nervous that Ryan will disrupt Clay's pretty perfect sleeping routine (6:30pm - 6:30am).  And so, we're pretty certain that Ryan will be banished to the downstairs bedroom once we have enough guts to sleep train him. . .

P.S. Ryan weighed 18.5 lbs at his 6 month appointment, in case anyone is interested in his physical stats...

Please sleep more, little guy!

Ryan's belly is so huge.  It's the perfect size to blow raspberry kisses. 

This is Ryan's new sippy cup.

He loves it!

I'm having the hardest time getting Clay to give me a nice smile for my camera.  As soon as I get my nice camera out, Clay's face seems to melt and he becomes affected with the sillies.

Or, Clay forgets how to smile, like in this picture.  

But, no matter what Clay does, he has an interested audience of 1!
