RYBA FAMILY: 5 months old! Happy Thanksgiving!

Daniel J. is now five months old and what a happy baby he is. He is still full of smiles and laughs too (he's pretty ticklish)! He wants so badly to crawl like his cousin the Jackman, and is starting to lift his little tush when on his belly. He also sits pretty well and tries to stand up if you hold his hands. Like daddy, he loves watching college football and Bears games. He is starting to really take an interest in others. The other day, he and Jack were just gazing and smiling at each other; Daniel tried to get Jack's toes to his mouth! He also reaches to pet Buddy now. He LOVES to grab at Mommy's and other people's hair (especially the really small ones on the back of your neck) and pull you in to bite your chin or cheek. We think this is his version of kissing you! We had a great first Thanksgiving spending time with the Ryba/ Massucci clan and a late night at Yia Yia and Poppy's. Tonite we put up the Christmas tree...we are looking forward to a fun holiday season.
