Some randomness

Jason was apparently sharing his toys with Ryan while Ryan slept:


Our future quarterback (these were at his cousin Alex's football game in Point Pleasant Beach)

He loved the bleachers~ running back and forth ~

And just a random pic of Jason with his favorite truck, Scoop. (Or "Foop" as Jason says!)

Two months

I don't think these need captions:





We went to the pedi on Friday, and our little monkey now weighs 11 lbs 8oz and is 21 1/2" long. For those of you doing the math, that's 3 pounds and an inch in 2 months. Eating is not an issue :)

Captain Adorable

Really. Need anything else be said?

Tis the season for... PUMPKINS!

I have a few friends that also use this blogger and they all have their pumpkin pictures up, so I figured I should do the same! :) So, without further ado, our day at Atlantic Farms in Manasquan:
On the hayride to the pumpkin patch:


Sadly, the only picture of the 4 of us. Ever.


He may have a future in the shotput:


Although he tried, this was not the pumpkin we came home with:


This pumpkin was much easier to carry :)


I'm not sure how in the world we got him to stay still long enough AND look at the camera to take this picture:


Jason's conclusion when he saw this: BIG


And this was Ryan throughout the majority of the excursion. Tough life.


Happy Fall everyone!

The tradition continues...

As you may remember, my friend mandi took pictures of Jason every month with a calendar date. Well, even though Miss Mandi moved far away, she's helping to continue the calendar tradition for Ryan. Although the pictures will not be nearly as beautiful as hers, this is what a couple amateurs came up with!




and a picture of Jason, something that we can't always get these days...

Slacker.

Yeah. That's me. Slacker. I've been very negligent in updating this blog. So, here is a mini-recap of the last 4 weeks or so:
1. Ryan turned 1 month old on Thursday the 25th. Wow.
2. Ryan was, well, um, "snipped" on the 23rd. He recovered nicely, and really only had one bad night.
3. Both boys are doing fabulously with each other. Jason loves to "help" and has only shown minimal sign of jealousy. Ryan is beginning to react to Jason's voice, and started smiling when he hears him near.
4. Jason has begun a new thing where he HATES to have his picture taken. Therefore, there are no school pictures this year for Jason, however, Ryan actually smiled for the camera man at school!!
5. Today is Scott's birthday, so wish him a happy day!!

And of course, some pictures for you:

Along Came Ryan

A lot has happened since the last blog post. Not only the layout of this blog, or the name of the blog, but most importantly, Ryan Henry Bostwick has joined our family. He was born on August 25th at 8:25am and was 8lbs 5oz. Needless to say, more than one person has said we should play those numbers in the lottery! And even if we don't become millionaires from those numbers, we are richly blessed. Ryan is a joy, very laid back, and eats and sleeps like a champ. Jason seems to like his new baby brother, although at this point Ryan doesn't do much, and once he starts moving around and getting into Jason's toys, I'm sure that will change. My mom was super-Grandma this past week. She stayed the first couple nights I was in the hospital to help care for Jason, and then returned for Labor Day weekend and cleaned and straightened and played and cooked and everything in between. We could never repay her generosity and hard work these past few days! Thanks to her and Scott, Ryan has a nursery to eventually sleep in!

Thank you for all your prayers and love throughout our pregnancy and delivery of baby Ryan. They were felt and deeply appreciated. You can check out more pictures of baby Ryan and the rest of the Bostwick family at www.flickr.com/photos/karenbostwick (or check out the slideshow in the sidebar!)
