Raspberries

Ever since Mimi taught Ronan how to make 'raspberries' last week, it's been nonstop babble around here:

Bedtime Fun

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:31:00 +0000

Our boy has been having fun at bedtime recently, always giggling after his bath and spending fun moments playing with his mom and dad (or is it his mom having fun with his hair?).

Visit with Kevin and Dana

R with his Great Aunt Dana

Happy to be with his Great Uncle Kevin

Ronan wouldn't stop grabbing my beer glass and putting his lips on the rim! It was hilarious. I'm sure the other restaurant customers thought I was the mother of the year...

On Venice Beach at sunset

Our Uncle Kevin visited Aunt Dana in SoCal this week, and Ronan and Michela spent a fabulous day with them in Venice!

Sunny SoCal Winter

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:51:00 +0000

We're loving our sunny California winter with walks and runs every day!

Bikes!

I really hate to take away from any of the Ronan cuteness, but because this is still technically still the SB blog, one post in ten won't make too much of a difference! So here is an update from the SF contingent of the SBs...

Gordon got a bike! And without hardly any prodding from me, I swear. He picked out a great 80's Fuji that has been all fixed up by our local bike shop, Citizen Chain ('Rosebud was a Bike' is their motto).

After my shift yesterday we went for a great impromptu ride down to the pier outside Ghirardelli and along Marina Green almost to the bridge. We lucked out with a beautiful sunset and warm night that really felt nothing like January. Its hard not to love San Francisco.

Sorry for the low-quality pictures, I only had my phone with me. Love from SF!

Desert 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:21:00 +0000

The Bedards arrived to spend their third winter in sunny Palm Desert. We were lucky that Ray could join Marianne for the first two weeks of her trip. We love visiting them and soaking up the sun.

REB at 4 Months!

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:15:00 +0000

REB is a nonstop kicker these days, a healthy, active boy at 4 months. He is 25.5 inches long and 13 lbs, 11 ounces. He looks like a tall skinny basketball player but acts like a soccer player!

Thanks for such a wonderful trip, Grampa and Mimi!

Swimming!

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:06:00 +0000

This little boy discovered that pools and oceans are not as fun as tubbies!

Not enjoying the kiddie pool

Rather than take him 20 miles to the Pacific Ocean, Ronan traveled 4,000 miles in order to see his first ocean, the Caribbean!

He's not exactly Michael Phelps...

Fun in the Sun

Tubby Time

You mean splash time is over? I love my tubby time!

Christmas in Paradise

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:18:00 +0000

Off to St. Thomas!

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:14:00 +0000

Ronan was a real trouper, getting up at 3am for our flight to Miami.

He was a perfect baby on the flight!

Our layover in Miami was very special because we met up with the Massachusetts contingent of the trip and Ronan met Nana, his great grandmother, for the first time!

Current Family Favorite

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:28:00 +0000

Thanks to Brady George for passing on the Current Family Favorite onesie! I'm guessing it was never quite so baggy on BGB!

More Jumpin

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:34:00 +0000

REB held court in his jumper for over an hour today. He's so darn cute with only his head clearing the seat!

Jumper

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:19:00 +0000

R is way too small to really JUMP in his jumper, but he loves being able to jerk around in it and play with all the attached toys.

Growing so fast!

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:48:00 +0000

Dear Ronan,

Please stop growing up so fast.

Love,
Mom

Hamhocks

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:45:00 +0000

His 2-month stats of 11 pounds (25%-50%) and 23.5 inches (75%) seemed pretty skinny, but now we're finally getting some chub on this kid! Check out these ham hocks - they'll be thunder thighs in no time!

Various Christmas Photo Outtakes

Picking out the Tree

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:39:00 +0000

Picking out a Christmas tree in 75 degree weather will never seem right!

All Smiles, All the Time

Champion Flyer!

noreply@blogger.com (Michela Bedard) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:36:00 +0000

Ronan was a great passenger on the flights, let's hope the same is true over Christmas when we fly all the way to St. Thomas!

Special time with Georges

We are way behind on posting, apologies!
