This kid can't be stopped! He is obsessed with pulling himself up to stand. Mom and Dad would be proud if it weren't such a terrifying development. He is hell-bent on hitting all of his gross motor milestones as soon as possible.
His tenacious commando crawl takes him through the house in a flash, leading us to install the gates. Sometimes this means Moxie can't be at Ryan's side...
but these boys always find a way back to each other.
Ryan loves the freedom of playing in different rooms. He likes the variety of new toys, like electrical cords, drawers, and kitchen basics. Childproofing was never this intense with me!
Mom needs to cherish the few times in a day when our little monkey is cuddly and not moving around like the Energizer Bunny. He still loves a good hug, but only for a moment until he's ready to go, go, go!

Bath time around here is less about cleaning, more about giggling and splashing. I do the giggling when I see Ryan's baby bottom, then he starts the splashing. He's a maniac!
I am a proud member of the Big Girl Club. We say things to our parents like "I'm pretending to be 5", because we want to be clear that we are not babies any more. We do awesome things like conquer the grown-up swing, scoot across the high bar like an Olympic gymnast, 
charm our baby brothers, 
and take our diapered babies on an "airplane ride" complete with beaded seat belts. 
Lately I am obsessed with earrings, asking Dad when I can get them (he says 18yrs), and asking Mom when she's going to give me hers. Sometimes they think I am a 13 year old stuck in a 3 year old body.
but finds sitting so outdated. From the moment we set him down anywhere, he quickly rolls himself into racing position.
