Well hello again, old friends. It's been about 1/2 of Rylan's little life since I've blogged--- sad, but true! Needless to say, life has been busy! I'll touch on some of our fun "Firsts" that we've experienced in the past few months! Rylan continues to be such a cool kid. I think I can say that cause I'm his mom and it's my blog, darn it! Thanks, as always, for taking a peak. I'll admit that I'm sad I don't keep in touch with anyone very well, but hopefully this is a glimpse into what is going on in our lives!

 Rylan's 1st Halloween-- He was a Park Ranger and we were Bears. For a very short time he had a sign that said "Don't feed the bears". But then he ate the sign...

Rylan's 1st Dinner - He's much more efficient now by the way :) Haven't found anything that he doesn't like yet - what a shocker

 Rylan's (2nd) haircut-- thanks to brave cousin Tiff, he gets pretty regular trim cause his hair is CRAZY!

This was taken at Rylan's friend Lilly's 1st Birthday. Funny picture if you ask me!

Rylan went on his 1st Christmas Tree chopping trip-- a Jacobs Family Tradition. My parents got to join us this year and we all had a great day!

One more shot from tree chopping!

The best little Christmas present ever!!

Rylan and Cousin MaKenna enjoy their 1st Christmas. Like most 6 month olds, Rylan loved the wrapping paper the most!

Our attempt at a family photo. We'll keep trying, I promise!

Grandma Hildreth showing Rylan her goldfish at Christmas- although it's been a rough winter for her, we think she's doing really well and Rylan thinks she's pretty great! We also enjoyed her 80th Birthday celebration, but forgot the camera!

Rylan's 1st Christmas present. It's for 6 year olds but he's a big kid.

 Meet Michael- Rylan's new cousin (to be)! We already love this spunky kiddo and they are going to be good buddies! Looking forward to Katy and Kevin's wedding this summer!

Most kids learn to smile when you say "CHEESE"- Rylan just squints so we have a lot of pictures like this!

We had a wonderful Superbowl weekend with our friends (please ignore the beverages :)

This is Caleb, Rylan, and Lilly all strapped in to their chairs-- literally the only time all weekend they held still for 2 seconds. 

 I know, he's cute. We're aware!

Seriously, cute

One more family photo

Relaxing with daddy-o. 

Thanks again for checking out the pictures. I've some other cute/recent ones on another memory card, so at this pace, you'll see those in July! Take care to all and keep in touch!
