1 year ago...

I can't believe that one year ago today, we welcomed our sweet little Ryan into this world! God has blessed us so much this year with this sweet little guy! It has been wonderful to watch his sweet personality develop. He is very laid back and easy going, unless we are dealing with food. When food is involved, he wants it right then!! He loves to laugh, loves it when we sing, and he loves his big sister!! He doesn't particurlary like being left out.

At one-year old, Ryan is...

*crawling, mostly bear crawling. He's pulling up and "cruising", but really hasn't gotten the courage to let go.

*clapping, dancing, signing "more" and "please", saying "more", "ma-ma", "da-da", "tay-tay", "ball", and "yes"

*eating all table food (no more baby food), and he's almost done with the bottle! He loves all fruits, beans, yogurt, hamburger meat, pretty much anything we will give him...

*weighs in at about 24 lbs! We haven't had his check-up, so this is according to the scale at my mom's.


I took some pictures of Ryan with his first "birthday cake." He was a little confused at first, but once he realized it was okay, there was no stopping him!
