What a joy Ryo is!!! He amazes me everyday with the little things he does...lately he has been very curious with textures. Likes to feel things...he especially loves touching Aaron's 5:00 shadow. It is one of the greatest feelings when he takes his two little hands and feels around my face. He also takes a keen interest when I am eating. He seems to look at me and think, why isn't mommy giving me some of her food?

August 9, 2009 - Ryo's second plane ride. This time to Oakland, CA. He did well on the ride to Oakland, was fussy on the way back to Southern CA. We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. We had a mini suite, but a queen size bed. With an infant sharing the bed, we would have gladly taken a standard room at a King size bed instead.

Ryo sleeps through the night, waking up only once to feed or a diaper change. It's a bit surreal to think of those first weeks of his life when we were up around the clock! I never thought those days would end!
