The latest on Mr. Ryan

He CLIMBS.  A lot.  He climbs on to the chair to play with the shutters.  Well, actually – he climbed on to Nate’s green chair to get on to this chair [which happens to be from my grandma flo].  He’s getting creative.

He moved a chair closer to the oven so he could stand on it to watch Wes’ bread bake.  He kept saying pointing saying “hot.”

. We have the “pull handle” doors, not the “turn handle” doors so he can open them.  And he loves it.

. He can reach the top of the kitchen counter.  Wes learned this the hard way when Ryan pulled a hot plate of mac and cheese off the counter and it landed all on his arm.  The edges of our counters are now completely empty.

. He loves whole milk.  We’re on our last can of formula.  Hallelujah.

. He signs “more”.  He thinks he’s pretty cool that he communicates at least one thing now.  He’ll point at something and then sign more with a huge grin on his face.  It makes me smile every time. 

 

. The other day, Kiley and I decided to use a Spicy Picky Groupon and take four kids to lunch with us after preschool. We were mid-conversation when we both realized Ryan wasn’t really moving.  He was almost asleep!  Poor guy.  Preschool mornings are a little rough for him without a real nap in his bed!  This particular day he refused to take a morning nap so while he was acting happy – he was apparently exhausted!

 

He’s turning in to quite the little kid!
