Ryan turned 16 months old on Sunday, October 7. The biggest change I see
in Ryan from last month to this month is his increased vocabulary. He
is saying many, many words clearly. Some new ones include "Night-night,"
"bye-bye," "Mamaw," "get buckled," "COME!" "bum," "butt" (for button),
"bapple" (for apple), and a few others. Of course, these are just the
new words. The old ones are still there, and I'm sure I'm forgetting
some.
Ryan has a mouth full of teeth now. In fact, he got five new teeth over
the past few weeks, most of which are coming down on top on the sides of
his mouth. Poor little guy!
When we went shoe shopping, Ryan now wears a 5. But, he HATES the size 5 sneakers we had for Caleb Luke. ???
My little man will love some foods one day and turn his nose up them the
next and vice versa. He used to smoosh peas all around his plate and
not eat them. But the other night he ate a ton of peas and carrots. He
used to LOVE yogurt and now will barely eat two bites for us. I think it
goes in waves. I guess that's why the doctor says to offer things at
every meal because you never know when it will take.
Ryan still won't hold his own cup. He says 'CUUUPPP!' and waits for us to hold it upright for him to drink. When we let him have it, he throws it on the floor and cries for it. I'm not sure if he can't quite get it upright enough to drink or if he's insulted that we're making him do it on his own. ???
Ryan is a sweet baby, though. He walked right up to Dr. Tifft when he walked in the room, and he'll give a "high five" to just about anyone who asks. He loves to give hugs, too, and one of his favorite activities is climbing on Daddy like he's a jungle gym. He and "Dadda" have a great time together!
Ryan loves to listen to books and he also loves to be down playing. He's not a big fan of being in the stroller anymore, which makes formerly easy tasks a bit more difficult. But, we're heading into that 'independent' phase. Each season is good for its own thing; I'm trying to just savor each moment with him since he is my last baby. :)
