a look back

On the 5th of every month for Ryan's first year of life, we did a little homemade photo shoot.  Early on, it was hard to catch him in a good mood.  Later on, it was just hard to catch him...period.  He is so hard to pin down these days!  Anyway, here is a look back at Ryan through the months...

I think the bunny must be at the other end of the crib, but I couldn't pass on this cute of a face

8 months....the pictures in the crib weren't so good this month

10 months

11 months

On a side note, Ryan had his 12 month check up today.  He weighed in at 25 lbs 11.5 oz (80th percentile) and is 31.5 inches tall (90th percentile).  All in all, a great checkup.  However, with the 12 month well check comes the 12 month vaccinations.  Ryan has not had one bad reaction to any vaccine yet, and he actually has never had a fever in his entire life.  Until today that is.  The poor kiddo got 5 injections this morning, and by 1 o'clock he had a fever of 102 degrees.  I thought a dose of Tylenol and a nap would help, but by 6 pm his fever was up to 103.5 degrees and he was crying uncontrollably.  Thank goodness for Baby Advil, within 45 minutes he was almost back to his regular self, a little worn out and much more snuggly than normal, and finally got to sleep.  Our fingers are crossed that tomorrow is a new day.
