Temper, Temper

With the latest update I had to decide what to include, should I mention the walk down Reston Town Center for a photo shoot - some teaser snaps are already available - or should I continue with how Ryan is developing.

Well whilst the photo shoot was fun, it’ll be better to talk more about that once all the photos are ready for upload so we’ll bring you all up to speed with how Ryan is learning new tricks.

He’s begun to throw “Boo-strops” when he doesn’t get his way, often accompanied by clenched fists waving furiously.  Of course once he realises that Dad is just laughing when he does that, he moves on to terrorising the cats once again.  Many times he’s looked at us with a “What?” expression with arms wide as if making his point clear (see photo above).

Ryan is learning all about trash, helpfully putting things in the bin when we’re finished with it, and sometimes when we’re not.  Items have had to be rescued, though we suspect Mom’s brush may not have been lucky.  He’s also putting clothes in the washing hamper, which Mommy thinks excuses her for leaving them on the floor!!!!!  This is met with Ryan awarding himself a round of applause.... clearly he’s got no ego........

Now Ryan is totally mobile he’s demanding going for walks often, he’ll go and point at his stroller and then grab his shoes.  This is a fun game for him, as he gets to push the stroller for a while before lying back and enjoying the ride as Dad pushes him round the rest of the journey.

Possibly the funniest new trick is his fearsome ‘growl’.  Ryan has learnt to do this almost on demand, a nice throaty roar with clenched fists, it’s enough to scare Poof back under the bed!

As well as stacking doughnuts, beginning to understand the concept of reading, he’s also learning to feed himself.  Plenty of messes ahead no doubt!

Jessica is on deck and due up with some good news from next week hopefully.
