Ry Guy

My Ry Guy turned two today!  These past two years have flown by, yet I also feel as if I've lived several lifetimes since he has been born.  Every once in a while, I like to do a post all about one of my boys--their milestones, personality, etc.  This seemed like a good time to write about Mr. Ryan!

Ryan is a joy.  He is such a happy little guy and has so  much personality.  He loves to giggle, always has a smile ready, and is so smart.  He communicates very well, it just so happens that hardly any of his communication is verbal.  He knows a lot of signs (more, please, stop, all done, potty, poop, break, hurt, water, milk, eat, help, sorry, scared, cold, please, thank you, and I'm sure there are a few more).  He uses all of the signs appropriately, which is so helpful!  He is such a smart little boy and knows how to get his point across with or without words!  He does have a few words that he uses on a regular basis--Mama, Dada, Noah (Doooh!), Pop-pop (for the bunny), Pa, Papa, Thank you, go, ow, Mommy, hot.  He also can tell you lots of sounds for animals, cars, and people (If you ask him what Anna from Frozen says he will click his tongue like she does in the movie).

He has such a funny sense of humor.  If you ask for a "mooch"  (a smooch), he usually won't do it, but if you say "Don't you kiss Mommy!" he puckers right up!  He also likes to toot and blame it on other people.  Such a stinker (in so many ways!).

Ryan loves:

eggs
to hop like the bunny
to wrestle his brothers
the movie Cars
popcorn
potato chips
clementines
doggies
to kiss Carolyn
giggling
playing guitar with Daddy
teasing
The Pout Pout fish books
being sung to, especially Jesus Loves Me and He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
going down slides
Choo-choos
Chipotle

My sweet Birthday Boy today!

 He barrels through life, and this picture cracks me up!  No fear at all from this guy!
