First teeth and other accomplishments

Ryan got his first tooth around 5 months and the second a couple days later. When this happened he started sticking his tongue out all the time, I think he likes the feel of his new teeth. (THANKS GOOSIE) Every time I see it I giggle because he looks so cute.

He takes a pacifier, which I may have mentioned once or twice but it bares mentioning again because it has CHANGED MY LIFE.

In this picture he obviously has assistance, but at around 5 and a half months he started sitting up by himself without falling over.

He also sucks his thumb! Chio and alex would only suck fingers so I've ever only heard of this. It's hard to convey the adorableness of this act with pictures but it also makes me dissolve into giggles. Yes, there are lots of giggles with this one. I'm trying to get a movie of it but every time he sees the camera he goes looks like he's in a trance and stops doing what he was doing.

If you look closely you can see the teeth (they are the bottom middle two, he got the one on his right first).

He's eating his toes.

I woke up to this scene. That is Chio's "twirly" umbrella in the background she must have brought in at some point in the night. I'm not sure if it was in Ryan's hand at one point or not.

Chio's Stapples

Frankly I'm shocked that Chio has not been more injured in her short lifetime; she is fearless and crazy (as long as there are no bugs involved). Anyway here is the latest disaster, I was pushing her on the swing and she fell off right onto a root in the back yard (side note: I'm the one who went in with chio and they had no idea what had happened to her because I couldn't say root correctly. Finally had to spell the word...Alex knew this would happen before I want and didn't say anything). She ended up with seven staples but no shaved head which is what she was most worried about so all in all it turned out okay. Also, her hair looked awesome for the entire week the staples were in because there were no flips allowed.
