Flashback Photo of the Week

Here is a cute close up of the drool fest from a year ago.  He was learning to pull up and would often do it and get right in your face.

Clean Up

Gloucester/Woodbridge - Ryan's cousin, Belle, was nice enough to give him her old play vacuum.  Ryan had an irrational fear of the vacuum and scream and hold on to Mommy every time Daddy vacuumed the floor.  Now that he has his own the fear seems to be gone.  Ryan cleaned Mammy's house for her and then came home to vacuum his house.

Yee Ha

Mathews - While out with PeePooh this weekend, Ryan tried on his hat.  It is still a little big, but he looked good.  Here he is sitting with his favorite Aunt Cheech.

Many Bedfellows

Woodbridge - A few months back Ryan started sleeping with his seahorse.  It then progressed to one Mickey Mouse and an Elmo.  Then another Elmo was added.  A week or so later another Mickey Mouse came into the bed.  Then there was a request for Cookie Monster.  Last week he asked for Scout to sleep in the bed.  Now tonight he insisted that Snuffy AND Ernie be there as well.  On top of it all, there is a blankey.  Maybe he likes the company.

A year ago Mommy and Daddy took Ryan out to to enjoy a pretty fall day.  He liked discovering the leaves and just being outside.

My First Trike

Woodbridge - Over the weekend Ryan got a really cool tricycle.  One of Daddy's very nice co-workers has a little boy older than Ryan that had outgrown it and they were nice enough to give it to Ryan.  He was so excited the moment he saw it and climbed right on.  We took a stroll around the neighborhood.  Ryan couldn't quite reach the pedals, but he held on and enjoyed the ride.  We know he likes it because he cried and screamed when it was time to go inside.  Mommy had to take him to watch Daddy put it away in the outside closet so he knew it really was his and it was staying at our house.

Here is Ryan on his very first Halloween.  He went trick or treating at the mall with his buddy James.  As you can see, he was Darth Vader.

Happy Halloween

Woodbridge - Frankenstein invaded our home on Halloween and then terrorized the neighborhood demanding  asking for candy.  The little monster was excited to start out, but Mommy ended up carrying him from house to house.  He ended up getting a nice amount of loot.  Mommy and Daddy let him have one piece of chocolate before going to bed. 

Happy Halloween!!!!!! 

Eyes

As you can see, Ryan had an exhausting day.  Check out the bloodshot eyes.

Pumpkin Patch

Centreville - On Saturday, Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, Grumpy and Ryan went to Cox Farm to the pumpkin patch.  The farm had giant slides, animals to pet, a hayride and all sorts of fun things to play in/on.  When we left Ryan got a free pumpkin.
