Best picture ever

Okay, for 4 months we've been trying to take a picture of Ryan
that shows just how cute he really is, I think we nailed it!!!
Call me a little biased, but I think he looks just adorable!!!!!

Ryan was priviledged to have his first taste of real food a

couple days ago...Mason thought he'd be nice and share his

gummy bears with his little brother(the one time Mason has

been willing to share!!!). Thankfully Scott was right there and

noticed Ryan choking and was able to turn him over and give him

some good back blows, but the gummy bear managed to slip down

his throat into his little tummy. Scott said after the fear of the whole

situation was over, he couldn't help but laugh as Mason sat there crying,

saying, "Why didn't you tell me he couldn't have gummy bears???"

I guess what had happened is while Scott was installing a shelf in our

kitchen cupboard, Mason was helping him out and Scott vaguely remembers

Mason saying something about "Ryan" and a "Gummy Bear." It was one of those

not so great parenting moments where you barely hear what your child says and

you agree to it anyway. So, poor Mason was so confused about why dad said he could

have a gummy bear one second and the next his little brother was choking to death.

Life is just full of surprises, I guess the earlier he learns this the better! ;-)
