Christmas 2009

Ryan is a great traveler. We had a 1 hr flight to SFO, then a 2 hr flight to Seattle, and Ryan didn't cry once. I think he's ready for a trans-Atlantic flight ;-)

On Christmas Day, Ryan got his first taste of solid foods. We gave him some rice cereal mixed with breast milk. He ate the first spoonful, but then blew bubbles or spit-out all the following bites....

It's becoming more difficult to take pictures of Ryan. If left alone, the first thing he'll do is reach for his feet, then proceed to fall over....

Are those teeth showing through the gums? They may explain all the crying at night....

On Saturday, we attended the quinceaƱera of my coworker's daughter. The entire ceremony was conducted in Spanish, so we didn't understand any of it. It was fun anyways.

According to house rules, you could challenge anyone for their gift. The challengee gets to select the game. The gift is "safe" after one challenge.
