More Milestones

Last Friday Ryan had his first check-up with the pediatrician - he is developing right on schedule as a happy, healthy baby. We had to take him to the hospital lab for the second PKU genetic testing, which I was really nervous about, but he sailed through it like the calm fellow he is.

Later that night he had his first bath in the baby bath tub, which was apparently more traumatic than the blood draw:

Christmas week was spent visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Fleming and Great Grandma Vieweg, who was visiting from Indiana. Ryan and Daddy went to Grandma and Grandpa's house on Wednesday while Mom started preparations for Christmas dinner, and he took his first bottle of breast milk (and then nursed successfully later).

Ryan slept peacefully through the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at our neighborhood church, Green Mountain Presbyterian. It was a nice service, but I think we'll "shop around" a little more before settling on a regular church.
