Messy

Woodbridge - Because it was a bath night, Mommy and Daddy gave Ryan yummy pasta shells and meatballs. As you can see, he really enjoyed them...he ate almost every bite. This is, by far, the messiest meal to date.

What Drives Daddy Crazy

Woodbridge - The one thing Ryan does that drives Daddy crazy is when Ryan pulls the DVDs off the rack. He likes to try to get as many in the floor as he can. However, if there is any consolation to Daddy, Ryan does ALWAYS go for the Ric Flair set. (WOOOOO)

Random Playtime Cuteness

In the event that you can't get enough of this adorable little guy, he is some cute playtime for your enjoyment.

Tent Play

Ryan likes to put his beads around his neck and crawl around.

Yay...score!

I know there are more toys in there.

A favorite pastime, pushing Scout around.

Oh no...Mommy got me and Scout.

Ryan discovered he knock over his dumptruck and climb on top of it.

Forks

Woodbridge - Ryan really loves to feed himself. He really wants nothing of Mommy or Daddy trying to help. Ryan took a new step towards that independence by learning to eat with the fork. He hasn't figured out how to stab the food (obviously that is what Mommys are for), but he can shove it in his mouth. MMMMMMMMMMMM

Picture Time!!

Fairfax - Today, Mommy and Daddy took Ryan to the portrait studio to get some new shots of him. Ryan was on his best behavior and didn't complain once. The photographer took about 140 pictures of Ryan in three different outfits and in different poses.

Below is a small sampling:

Baller

Woodbridge - For Christmas Aunt Mickey sent Ryan a really cool sports activity set. At first he liked to spin the baseball and football, but then Daddy showed him how to dunk a ball. Ryan caught on pretty quickly and even began double dunking. He can't wait until he can start schooling everyone on a real court. For now he will just continue practicing before bed. Thanks Aunt Mickey!

Look, any ball works.

Are you sure that is the score?

First Boo Boo

Woodbridge - In learning to navigate around this world, you are bound to get boo boos. This past weekend Ryan did just that. While pushing Scout around in his dump truck, Ryan fell and busted open his lip. he is a tough guy and didn't really cry that long. Also, Mommy gave him a really cold gel pack to make it feel all better.

Taking Scout for a Ride

Woodbridge - Ryan decided to give Scout a ride in his new dumptruck. He needs to work on his driving skills a little, but we think Scout had a good time.

On Fire

Woodbridge - When Ryan was only a few weeks old, Miss Elizabeth gave him a super cool pair of shoes with flames. Now Ryan has finaly grown into them just in time for really cold weather. He thinks they are really cool.

Ryan's First Christmas

Ryan's first gift - Christmas Eve pajamas



Christmas morning...a new truck



And Scout - he knows all about Ryan and sings about it.



Ripping paper is soooo cool.

A fun gift from Grammy and PeaPooh

Peapooh gave him his first buckle.

The coolest part of all, Grammy got a new vacuum and Ryan played in the box.

The morning was so exhausting that Ryan fell asleep in the cars while chewing his keys.

However, he quickly rebounded to play trucks with Belle.

But he fell asleep again when it was time to open presents,

Once he got to Grammy and Grumpy's, there were more presents to open.

See the mess he made with all his new toys.

When he got home, he saw Santa had left stuff there too.

Check out his new dump truck

Aunt Mickey sent a really cool toy too. Thanks!

Hope everyone had as Merry of a Christmas as Ryan did!
