Sitting Pretty and other things...

Ryan is officially 20 weeks old, my how the time has flown.  His big accomplishment for this week...sitting on his own.  He has been trying to sit for the past couple of weeks but has pretty much only been able to sit for a second or two before falling forward.  This week he figured out how to balance himself in a tripod type style and can sit for a little bit before he starts to wobble.  


Several weeks ago we bought a baby pool but we never got around to using it.  Today was a beautiful summer day so we decided to try it out.  Ryan wanted to use his new found independence and sit on his own in the pool.  He did pretty good but Mommy and Daddy were right there next to him in case he started to fall to the sides.  Ryan loves the water and seemed to like his pool.  


oh yeah...and he likes to stand pretty much all the time now..oh no!!


All wrinkled up...time to get out.

ok and this video is super long...sorry..well not really.  A week or so ago I decided to buy this jumper.  We have lots of toys for Ryan but I needed something I could take upstairs while I was doing laundry or something.  Anyway, it was $26 something and it was the best money I have spent yet.  Ryan loves this jumper.  He goes for a minute, takes a break and goes again.  I like to think he is dancing just a little..enjoy.  



Please excuse the paint can...we are trying to paint some of our house right now and I was using it as a door stop so Ryan wouldn't close the door if he got to jumping a little too much.  :)
