Ryan has always been "energetic" but now it seems he has crossed the threshold into full blown boyhood. He is constantly climbing chairs, dancing on tables, leaping down the stairs, and jumping off the bed, along with many other feats that give his mommy and daddy daily mini heart attacks. He loves going on walks down to the nearby field to run down hills and try to steal balls from the soccer practices. Balls are without a doubt his favorite thing in the world right now and every day ends with daddy and Ryan bouncing balls all over the house.
Not only is his body non-stop motion but his language is picking up too. Although he doesn't have many understandable words yet, he sure chats away as if we're comprehending every word and we have to struggle to keep a straight face as he enthusiastically babbles away about this or that. He also loves to try to make us laugh by acting silly or even doing his latest trick: making himself fart! Yup, he has already learned that a good fart equals lots of laughs, and all I can say is that "he got it from daddy's side". ;P
A super sweet side is also emerging as he loves cuddling and giving us hugs and kisses. He also enjoys reading books with mommy or daddy and is quite particular about which books he wants to read and in what order.
His favorite outdoor destination right now is the BEACH! Sand and water, is there anything better to an 18 month old?? Mommy also loves it as there is nothing there for him to climb (or fall off from!) and it's the one place that wears him out and guarantees a decent nap. :D
Here is a recent photo shoot by daddy that captures some of the many Ryan expressions. Budding actor perhaps?? (cuz drama definitely runs in MY side of the family!) Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
