That's Elmo's World

Woodbridge - While visiting this weekend, Mammy taught Ryan to sing "That's Elmo's World."

Flashback Photo of the Week

A year ago Ryan was really starting to get around on his own.  He had mastered crawling and was pulling up and cruising.  He loved to pull himself up on whatever he could get his hands on and look around.  The window was and still is a favorite place.

Surfing

Woodbridge - On Sunday afternoon Ryan decided to do a little web surfing.  He checked out some Elmo and Snuffy and Cookie videos.  He also checked in on Mommy and Daddy's fantasy football teams (both were kicking butt) and finally he looked at his blog.  It was a nice way to kill time.

This  was a rarety a year ago.  We struggled to get Ryan to nap anywhere other than on Mommy or Daddy.  When he did fall asleep somewhere, we would just cover him up and let him be.

More Lessons in Ryanese

This is Mitchy, but it started out as Meat.

 

This is Snoofy.

This is Nuffy.  For some reason we hear this a lot.

And these are french fries.  Not sure why, but when we went out for Mexican and these were delivered to the table, Ryan called them french fries and wanted to eat so many that he didn't really want his quesadilla.

Pants Removal

Woodbridge - Ryan is becoming more and more independent.  He likes to undress himself at night and take his own pants off.  It is quite the process (as documented below), but he is very proud when he succeeds.  Unfortunately he thinks he can remove his shirt the same way he removes his pants. 

Potty Talk

Woodbridge - We have started talking about the potty with Ryan and trying to get him to understand what it is all about.  We now ask Ryan if his stuffed animals have to go pee pee.  He will then place each on the potty (some with reading material) to let them do their business.

Wait For It

This is just a regular video of Ryan at the playground.  Wait for the end.
