Picture Updates

We haven't posted a blog in awhile, so here are just a few pictures from the past month. Stay tuned for pictures from our trip to NYC, Christmas pictures, and hopefully a video of Ryne attempting to crawl (or inch forward)...

Wanted for Christmas: New Carpet

So Ryne's favorite thing to do is spend time is his walker that goes around and around. Up until just yesterday he mostly stood still with the exception of a few very small movements. But all of a sudden yesterday, he just started busting into a full-out walk. And he was so proud of himself. Now Mom and Dad just have to be careful that he doesn't wear out the carpet!

Playful at 6 months old

Ryne was extremely playful after his bath a few nights ago. Luckily the video camera was charged up and ready to record. He is at such a fun age!

The Future Happy Couple?

We had friends over for dinner on Friday night and were able to capture some great pictures of Sarah and Ryne. Who knows, perhaps we'll be snapping similar pictures like this in 16 years for prom? Sarah is a little aggressive as you will see. Check them all out in our November Album to the right.

Mirrors and Sinks

The little guy is getting to be so big! One of his favorite things to do is look at himself in the mirror. I can't really blame him with as cute as he is.

Ryne's Dedication at Church

On Sunday Ryne had his baby dedication at church. We were blessed to have so many family members there to help us celebrate the event. After church we went back to our house for lunch. It was a fun day!

All of the excitement made Ryne sleepy.

Grandma and Grandpa H. gave Ryne this special blanket.

What a cutie!

Halloween and Trunk-or-Treat

On the Sunday before Halloween we went to the Trunk-or-Treat at our church. It was pretty cold but Ryne was able to snuggle up with some of his favorite babysitters at church.

On Halloween we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's house. Danielle, Titus, and Addison were there too. The kids went trick-or-treating to about 5 houses.

I Love This Picture...

Stuckey Farm

Ryne, my mom, and I went to Stuckey Farm yesterday. We got some apples to make apple pies. Ryne got his first little pumpkin to take home. We decided to take some pictures before we left. Here are just a few...

Weekend in Elmhurst

My mom, sister (and Addison), Ryne, and I went up to Elmhurst this past weekend to go shopping for my sister's birthday (Happy Birthday Dee!), and to celebrate my friend Susan's baby shower. Susan is having a twin boy and girl very soon and we are so excited for her and her wonderful family. The shower was at Susan's gorgeous new house. We also got to spend time with my friend Jenny and her son Jackson. Here are a few pictures from the shower including pictures of Ryne and Jackson in their matching outfits!

We love the matching outfits!

Cowboy Ryne

I went shopping with my mom and sister this past weekend and bought Ryne his first cowboy hat! When we got back to the hotel we did a little photo shoot. Check out my sweet boy...

Maybe Next Year

Ryne's face says it all...
