Christmas, Round 2

We spent this past weekend and the New Year with my parents (a 5-hour drive away). Ryan is becoming quite an experienced little traveler. He does much better on long car trips since we were able to turn his car seat front-facing, and no longer clings to me 24/7 when we're visiting long-distance family, as he did on our first few visits.

Ryan was thrilled to be in a house with a Christmas tree he could walk right up to and touch!



Hanging upside-down, again! (We are beginning to suspect Ryan's ancestry is half Chinese and half bat.)



Parallel-playing with one of his cousins:



"Who needs pants? At least I'm half dressed this time."



Stopping to give Daddy a hug:

Happy New Year to everyone! We hope 2008 will bring lots of referrals and court rulings for all the waiting families.
