Naked baby!

Nothing makes me happier, than losing my clothes and being allowed to roam around.

"That's what she said"....

Mom's little helper...

Sometimes when dad isn't home from work yet, there's nothing good on the tube, I'm over my toys and mom wants to attempt to make dinner, she has to throw everything but the kitchen sink my way to keep me entertained. Case in point, my impromptu play station in the middle of the kitchen. Frozen chicken box (empty of course, no calls please)? Check. Can of artichokes? Check. Mixing bowl? Check. Milk all over my face after attempting to self serve my bottle? Check.

Loving my sippy cup! You can even get a sneak peak at my first tooth! (#2 has already popped up next to this one).

Oscar Sunday

Just like a Hollywood celeb, Ryan spent her pre-Oscar hours prepping for the big night.  Nap, liquid diet, numerous wardrobe changes, hitting the red carpet (or alphabet mat, whatever) with her new gal pal Sophie....

Outfit drama:  I emptied my laundry basket and I have nothing to wear! 

Seriously mom, you couldn't have bought me something new for the occasion?

 

Do you think this cap will make me look skinny?  Will it go with my spatula? 

Thank god Sophie went for understated elegance as well.  

Working the crowd on the red carpet...

Raise your hand if you think Slum Dog is going to sweep...

New foods....

Our little Ryan still prefers a liquid diet, but we're slowly getting there.

Likey:

Peaches

Bananas

No likey:

Avocados

Green Beans

Peas (can you blame her?)

The jury is still out:

Pears

Squash

Avocados.....not so much

Thank you Debbie Outlaw!

Ryan's love of the spatula has become a phenomenon.  For Valentine's Day, she was given.................a red spatula!!!!!  Thank you to Debbie for such a thoughtful gift.  Mom likes it a lot too and secretly tries to steal it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Crawling backwards....her new favorite sport.

I love 'U'

Where in the world is Ryan?

Our future world traveler getting the lay of the land...

Perhaps a safari in Africa?  Grandma, Grandpa would you guys like to spring for that?  

Today was 65 degrees so we went for a stroll around the block.  Guess who also made the trip?  That's right, it's baaaaaacccckkkkkk --- Mr. Spatula!

Even kitchen gadgets can use some fresh air every now and then...

Learning my letters while crawling backyards (we haven't quite mastered the forward motion just yet) - stay tuned....
