Big Boy

Ryan has really been growing up this week! I've been trying to teach him the signs for "more" and "all done" the last few days which he refuses to do, instead he looks at me as if to say, "I'm not stupid you know" and says "a duh"... okay, I'll take it! You don't want to sign because you'd rather just tell me you're done! So, now we have about 4 words: mama, which often means more, dada, which only means dada ;), ball, and all done. Such a big boy.

Last night, Ryan sat down with Daddy to help put together his John Deere tractor we've been waiting to see him ride that his Aunt Christina got him at birth! 11 months later and we're finally ready! Riding a John Deere requires you have no shirt on!

He can climb off easily, but getting on is a bit trickier.

Also, lately we've been having trouble finding Ryan... he's figured out how to climb the stairs really fast when we're not looking.... uh oh. And tonight I found him sitting on top of the ledge by the fireplace... not quite sure how he got up there.

He is also getting very good at opening the screen door and letting himself outside to the second floor deck! not good. Notice his expression... "what? I didn't do it..." He's a sneaky little ninja...
