Flashback Photo of the Week

Now that Ryan was 7 months, here he was showing us he was over the bouncy sheet and it was time to put it away.  He was officially on the move (army crawl) and didn't want anything holding him back.

Hello?

Ryan loves to hold conversations with a mystery person on the phone.  He did this today while riding home.  I guess it was a good thing he wasn't driving.  We don't want to encourage driving while talking on the phone...or he needs a hands free device.

Lunch with Elbow (aka Elmo)

Williamsburg - Friday was one of the best days in Ryan's life so far.  He got to meet and have lunch with Elmo.  He also got to meet Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Bert and Ernie.  From the time they came on stage, he was in awe.  He waited patiently for his turn to meet each character and then gave them big hugs.  We thought he wasn't going to let go at some points. There was probably no better experience for our little guy.

Busch Gardens

Williamsburg - On Friday Ryan took his very first trip to Busch Gardens. He started the day taking a nap while Daddy rode some roller coasters.

After lunch, Ryan enjoyed riding rides. He started with Sesame Street Forest of Fun. Check out the fun water area.

Then he picked a duck and won himself a stuffed frog.

He then rode more rides with Mommy and Daddy.

And then Grammy.

It was a long day and he totally passed out on the way home.

This was Ryan one lazy Sunday a year ago. The outfit

he is wearing is one of the first things his Daddy bought him as soon as he found out he was boy. It took nearly seven months for Ryan to grow into it.

I Love It Loud!

This video sums up Ryan's dance moves and how he likes to listen to music. For him, the louder the better. every time you turn it down, he stops dancing to turn it back up. Here he is showing off his awsome dancing with Elbow and a little blanket dancing thrown in at the end.

Row Row Row

One of Ryan's other favorite songs is Row Row Row Your Boat. Check out his awesome singing and how excited he gets!

Sliding

Look...Ryan can do the slide by himself!

A year ago we Ryan began getting around on his own. Here you can see his attempts at the army crawl. He did this for quite awhile before he figured out how to crawl properly.

On Top of Spaghetti

One of Ryan's new favorite songs in "On Top of Spaghetti". He has liked it since getting a DVD where Snuffy sings it and chases his runaway meatball. His favorite part is the sneezing. He now adds the sneeze sound effect at the proper moment. (He also likes to ride down the road and fake sneeze over and over)
