Rockin' some tummy time

Play Date

Thanks to Jules for having us all over to play. Diane and Patrick made the drive down from Cleveland!

Ronan fell asleep while I was dressing him the other day. Let's hope he doesn't still do that when he is old enough to dress himself.

Apple Picking

Apple Picking

Out to lunch

Ronan sitting at the table with mom and dad... maybe he needs a booster seat.

Kristin's Party

Nora and Kevin all dressed up for a grown up party... Chris and Kristin were nice enough to invite Ronan too.

Ronan and Rogan hanging out at Kristin's b-day party

Getting ready for family pics

Nice Shot

Nice shot from off the changing table...he seems to prefer to pee (and poop) on me more than Kevin

Ronan visits dad at work

A future employee?

Resting

Artie and Ronan sleeping of a bender?

Kiss Me I'm Irish

Don't mind if I do

Fun at the Zoo PJ's

I would hate to see what a bad day at the zoo looks like

Little Man

Dad is so proud of how strong Ronan has become...holding up his head like a little man.

I guess we need to keep working on it...

Ronan has started smiling this week (real smiles, not gas smiles). Much to Grandma Jane's dismay, she has not witnessed it yet. I caught a couple on camera and made a video to appease her. A shout out to Kevin's work pals who got us the video camera which is super easy to use. It is so easy that I find myself taking videos of very mundane moments (I will try to edit myself on the blog).

Ronan Smiles

Swing

The little boy with his momma enjoying his favorite outdoor activity, the swing. If you watch closely you can see Nora freak out when a bug flies too close to her face.

Yawn

It's great when you catch Ronan mid-yawn in a picture. This one is a keeper.

Scoops

Ronan chilling on his playmat. This is one of his favorite outfits despite the fact that mom and dad call him "Scoops" all day when he wears it. Aunt Clare bought him this outfit at her sisters store Planet Green in Rocky River- it has tons of cute onsies like this.

Feelin' good

Looks like he overindulged on milk again.

Wide Awake

Can you tell which one of us is a morning person? This is usually what he looks like at four in the morning. Oh well, at least my hair looks good.

Claire and Ronan hanging out

Finn visits

Drew and Claire brought Finn over to visit with Ronan. Finn was brave when Artie barked at him, and Artie allowed him to leave in one piece. Finn also helped Kevin feed the fish in the pond.

Argyle

Ronan got some sweet new socks from his friends Aaron and Jen-- he thinks they add a splash of color to his outfit.

Rogan and Ronan

Mark, Jules, and Rogan had us over to watch the Buckeye game. Ronan and Rogan are fast friends, born just two days apart. They dig each other's names, too.

Little Man

Mom and her little man.

Go Bucks!

Dad and Ronan get ready for the big game. Kevin thinks that Ronan is all Murphy, but I definately see a resemblance.

Nuts for knits

Ronan's friend Pat has made him some great hats and a blanket that he loves!

Mom walking both boys at the same time-- that's talent.

Lazy Saturday Morning

The boys letting mom sleep in on Saturday... looks like they caught a few more winks themselves.

Good, clean fun

Showing off

Ronan is showing off how nicely his legs and arms are starting to fill out (I think he has a ways to go).

Baby's first bottle

Dad gives Ronan his first bottle

Mary, Jen, and Aaron

Now that's a good lookin' group.

Fast Friends

Uncle Dan is such a natural!

Auntie Katelyn stopped by on her way home from Cincinatti...she made him sleepy.

She loves him so...

Aunt Alicia

Aunt Clare

Careful buddy, she's engaged!

Tastes like chicken?

Artie gets a taste

Snuggle

"What the hell...lets get crazy."

Bedtime

"I was thinking...you stay on your side of the bed, and I'll stay on mine."

The boys relaxin'

The Murph's latest visit

Artie

Artie is getting a little tummy time on Ronan's blanket. It's nice to see brothers so willing to share their toys.

Ronan and Dog

Ronan on his new dog blanket and wearing his very first pair of shoes!

It's been a while since we have posted (the complaints department is overloaded at the moment). Unfortunately Ronan seems opposed to mom blogging during the day. He also seems opposed to her sleeping, eating, or going to the bathroom anytime that he is awake. Ronan is now over a month old! He weighed in at a whopping 9lbs, 11oz at the doctor last week. He is a long and lean little man (80th % for height, 45% for weight). He is more awake now during the day than ever. Sadly, this does not make him more tired at night. Enough info...lets see some pictures!
