One-Year Ryanisms

Sweet boy, here are your little "isms" at one-year old. Mommy's sorry she made the blog about her the last few posts.

WE LOVE YOU SWEET CHILD OF GOD!

-You LOVE to snuggle. You're one of the best I know!

-You love to play with your friends at daycare, but mostly love your independence.

-You'll eat just about anything. But, anything green must be put on the plate first. Otherwise, you won't eat it.

-You do "bed-head" quite well.

-You've discovered the joy of gravity, and mostly on my unforgiving Saltillo tile.

-You'll blow bubbles, but not in the pool.

-You got a car for your first birthday, and look like you know what to do with it.

-You've now had two haircuts, and sorry kid. You'll look Amish for a few weeks.

-You have such a sweet disposition about yourself.

-Your teachers are teaching you how to pray at mealtimes...and, even snack times. Thank you CHUMs.

-You just started brushing your teeth. And, right now you have two that are "up", two that have just made their debut, and four more that are about to show themselves.

-You are loved by all of the teachers at your school...even the ones that aren't your teachers. They all know "Tootle"

-You are brave, but cautious.

-You've taken three steps on your own, but didn't even realize it.

-You're just about to walk. Just need to let go of our hands. Spread your wings, kid.

-You have lots of birthday parties coming up b/c all of your friends are about to turn one.

-You now drink Soy milk. No more of the liquid gold. (Alimentum)

-Your mommy didn't take the time to wean you off of bottles, yet you handled it like a champ. (Thank you).

-You still LOVE your baths. And, baths with Daddy make you the happiest.

-You got tubes in your ears in March. They still look great, even with the dunks from swim class. (Sorry, Dr. McCray...they make us dunk them).

-You are catching on to the book before bed routine... which means more snuggle time with Mommy and Daddy.

-You're smiling at the camera now.

-You love to climb on anything and everything.

-You made mommy purchase Babywise - The Pretoddler Phase so that she can figure out how to "train" you for freedom. (aka...discipline them, and teach them new habits)

-You LOVE the Spurs!!!

Father God, we thank you MORE THAN WE CAN EVER EXPLAIN for trusting us with your precious child! Thank you for making him the cutest dang thing ever!

(Keep in mind, this is your baby book...hence this post).
