Goin' a Mile(stone) a Minute

I wonder, if a blogger isn't posting any blogs, does she exist?

So the last time you heard from me, Ryan had figured out crawling. I had no idea what was coming in the next few weeks...

The following week he mastered pulling up...
The week after, he started cruising...
The week after that, he began trying to stand on his own...
Thank goodness, he's still on the mastering cruising, and still only stands for 2-3 seconds!

He also cut ALL FOUR front teeth.
And learned how to give kisses!

Thanks to all that, Ryan forgot how to sleep - I'd find him awake, at 2am, practicing standing. Or more likely, screaming, because he was practicing, and hit his head for the 127th time. It got the point where his lumps & bumps had their own lumps & bumps! Cutting four teeth at once just served as icing on the lumpy, bumpy cake!

Throw in a few birthday celebrations, a stay with Isabella, a trip to Chicago, and a fun virus that ran its course through the house. Needless to say, I went into walking zombie mode. Not capable of much more than a short Facebook quip here and there. I have unorganized photos comin' out my wazoo, unpublished videos, a million cute stories floating aimlessly in my brain.

I think we are now on the other end of that round of mini chaos. Just in time for...vacation! We leave tomorrow for a week down at the lake. And, unfortunately, Ryan picked up a nasty habit of a 4:30-5:30 wake up time. That habit must be broken, because that's just not cool!

So that is what's up with the Latta clan. Look for quick pix, or links to pix - as much as I can before we leave. But to not keep any grandma's waiting for their Ryan fix, I shot this video this morning, trying to get some teeth. My baby is getting So big So fast!
