Grandma Savacool's Birthday Weekend

We went up to PA this weekend to visit with the grandparents and to celebrate Grandma Savacool's birthday! Ryan loves spending time in PA because, though mommy and daddy love Rye very much, there is only two of us and in PA there are a TON more people around to shower him with love and attention - especially his friend Ashley (Ashey, as Ryebread likes to call her).

Rye was very brave and joined Grandpa in Heather and Ashley's pool. He didn't venture far from the edge and hung on very tight, but stayed calm long enough to snap a photo!

After some fun in the sun, Mommy let Rye eat a peach (whole - not cut up into pieces!). He did good, but was making a mess, so she tried to teach him how to make the slurrrrp noise to suck in the juices. He thought that was pretty silly.

Earlier that weekend, Rye had his first taste of beets (even though Mommy thinks they're gross). He did good at first, but must have gotten full from the Mac n Cheese, because pretty soon he was turning his head in protest. Daddy thought it was funny that Ryebread had noodles all over his chest and tummy!

In a strange change of roles, Ryan decided to be a gentleman and let Ashley ride his scooter. He even tried to help her a long and gave her a good push! Such a good little man...
