I Want to See!

Ryan likes to show off how strong he is and how much he likes to see things while on his stomach. He was even trying to get up on his knees. Grandpa Kim thinks he'll be crawling early...considering how soon he rolled over, we better be ready!!!

Five Generations

Kari's Great-Grandma Harriet (Ryan's Great-Great-Grandma) loved watching Ryan during our recent visit. She didn't want anyone else near as she was worried we would wake him up!


The five genereations. Back L-R me, my mom Lois Dummermuth. Front L-R my Grandma Marilyn Larson, Ryan, my Great-Grandma Harriet Olson.


My brother, Matt, was also there with Caleb and Lydia.

Farmer-in-Training

Ryan wore his new John Deere clothes this past weekend in hopes to farm with Daddy and Grandpa Kim. He got to eat dinner with them in the field and see Grandpa Kim's new planter, but he wasn't quite ready to ride with him yet. Maybe he can ride the combine this fall!

3 Weeks Old - Look what I can do!

Mommy put Ryan down for a nap on his tummy on Friday (his 3 week birthday). She heard him moving around, so she looked over to see his feet going the opposite direction than when she put him down - see picture one. She went over and looked in his pack-n-play and discovered he had rolled over!!!



Originally thinking it may have been a fluke, Mommy was surprised to find Ryan had rolled over again the same day during his next nap.



Daddy got to see Ryan roll over twice the next day. The little guy is growing up fast!


We took a video of Ryan rolling over - we'll get it posted as soon as possible.

2 Week Check-Up

I'm getting bigger! At my two week check-up today I weighed 9lbs. 4oz. and was 21.5 in. long. I'm in the 75th percentile for height and 60th percentile for weight.

The Putney Men

Mark was the last Putney to be able to carry on the Putney name - now the pressure's on Ryan! Standing is Mark's dad, John (L), and John's brother, Mark (R).

Ryan's Buddy

This is Ryan's buddy Michael Sage (born one week earlier). They hung out for the first time last Tuesday at Small Group. Michael didn't want to leave....or maybe he had enough?
