Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!

Big 1 Year old!

Mr cool ;)

 Look at me walking!

At my one year checkup!

Ryan had a nice first Birthday Party!  He had so much fun that he didn't have a nap until 4 or so in the afternoon!  His new toys must be good ones since as he opened each one the kids at the party took off with them to try them out!!  Since he is just one he didn't seem to mind.  

Mommy and daddy got him his very first car track.  Meemaw and papa got him a ball popper which is a HIT with all the kids!  Grandma and Grandpa got him a new ride on motocycle toy.  He likes all the buttons that make noises. He likes his new toys but his Big sister was more excited about them.  New stuff to play with :).

He makes lots of different noises and sounds but as far as I can tell he doesn't really have any words yet.  He says dadadadada a lot, but hard to say if he every clearly says dada talking about his dad.  I still haven't gotten that first mama out of him, but I know that will come in time.  He is very effective at his grunts and non verbal ques to get what he is after!

His favorite drink is a sip out of a big persons glass.  The water they have in that is far superior to what they put in his straw sippy cups of course ;).  We are still working on learning to like more solid foods.  He is a big milk fan (mommy's) and at least that is nutritious! 

His favorite game has to be tossing a ball with either hand and watching it bounce on the tile and then going after it.  Repeat over and over again.  He also enjoys this game outside because everything is better outside!  He LOVES to be outside and has been known to get upset when we have the nerve to let the dog out and he has to stay inside!
