We went sledding in the our back yard. Rhys only seemed to notice that his feet were a little cold.

Look who was standing up in his crib! He can pull himself up by the railing.

Almost Crawling...

Rhys has been working on trying to crawl, and is almost there. For now, he is able to get on all fours, and then he scoots...backwards. Well, at least he has the right idea!

Lil' Blogger

Over Christmas, John, Rhys' uncle, taught him how to blog. To view Rhys' first blog posting, click here: http://www.johnpla.net/275/guest-blogger-rhys-elliotts-first-post.html

First Visit to Santa

Happy Half Birthday!

On November 20, Rhys celebrated his six month birthday (and only needed a little help blowing out the candles!)

The Ocean

In August, Rhys made his first visit to the ocean at Pescadero State Park, about an hour outside of San Francisco.

Tummy Time

On his sixth month birthday, Rhys finally decided that he actually enjoyed tummy time!

Rhys and his pumpkin!

Rhys at 4 months. What a happy guy! If the blog had audio, you'd hear that he has just learned how to giggle, and he does it A LOT!!

Smiley Guy

The first weigh-in

Rhys came into the world on 5/20, weighing in at 6 lbs 7oz, and 19 3/4 inches long! His cry was really soft, and it sounded like he was singing a "laaaaaa".

Baby's First Headshot

Here's the latest photo from the ultrasound today. We would have had one of the face, but just as the technician was about to snap the picture, the baby shoved its foot into the shot! Guess the baby is a little camera shy (maybe it isn't Hallie's after all!)
