Happy New Year!
We spent New Years Eve in Atlanta, visiting with some of our best friends, Holly and Kirk, and their daughter Charlotte, who is seven months older than Ryan. We hung out at their house, played with the babes, put the kiddos to bed, changed into our pajamas and then had dinner, drinks and football/Wii time (Wii Fit with the balance board is an endless source of entertainment after a few beers). We watched the ball drop (just barely) and then crashed. It was the best NYE I have had in YEARS.
It's crazy to think how much the four of us have changed. We met in college - 10 years ago (OMG) and we have gone from Holly and I being roommates, to all of us getting married the same year (2002), to buying houses, tailgating at many, many Clemson games, going on vacation together, to becoming parents in the same year (2009!). We've had ups and downs, but have become stronger, better friends because of it. I am so, so glad we have.
I really wish we lived closer.

Three Months
Dear Ryan,
Three months! How is it possible? Three months ago you were just being born – all slimy and screamy and then wide eyed and taking it all in, and now you are here and happy and just the coolest thing ever. Your dad and I frequently turn to each other and ask what we used to do for entertainment because you are just too great.
You are still a boob man. You are so funny when it is time to eat. You burrow your head and start eating at your hands (another topic below) and just crack us up. When you are not given your food in a minute or two you start with this great sad face and pouty lip. We love the pouty lip and maybe even try to get you to do it on occasion because it’s so funny.
You are still a good sleeper. You fall asleep around 7:30, wake up around 2 or 3, and fall back asleep until 7 or so. You take a few naps during the day, nothing over an hour unless we are in the car or out and about, but you will sleep at night, which we appreciate greatly! You love your books, your activity mats and taking walks.
You love to look around, to take it all in. You smile at almost everyone and when you get really excited you smile so much and then turn your head away. It’s almost like the excitement gets to be too much for you and your heart gets so full you have to look away because it’s overwhelming. I understand completely because I feel that way every time I look at you.
Love,
Mama
