15 Months!

Ryan turned 15 months old on the 2nd. And boy has so much changed. We took him for his check-up and he weighs in at 24lbs 3oz (46%) and is 31 inches long (46%). Dr. Gillespie went ahead and did an x-ray of his hips to make sure everything was ok since he was still not really walking. Thankfully, that turned out well; however, he still wanted me to contact First Steps (a program that helps kids with development issues). But apparently Ryan did not want someone to come look at him because that very day he started really walking. He will walk from Jonathan to me and back several times. And is getting braver each day. He gets so tickled and thinks it is a fun game! We, of course, cheer and appalled to encourage it. I was so happy to see that he is catching on to it. This morning when we took him to daycare we had him walk into the room, everyone cheered for him and it was such a bitter sweet moment. Sad that he was growing up but happy that he is growing up, guess that's the motto of being a parent. Besides that, we are doing well. Ryan has two more teeth, molars. He is so funny, never does anything in the right order. So now he has 8 teeth; four on the top in the front/middle and four on the bottom, two in the middle and now the two molars. He is very vocal and more words are coming out all the time. He is still a big momma's boy and I am loving every minute of that. Below are some pictures of this past weekend.

Here Ryan is trying to walk and ride his toy all at the same time.

He loves Toy Story and wearing these pj's.

We switched his walker to a rider this weekend trying to get him to walk more, here he is enjoying it.

Ryan loves to play in the cabinets while I cook, he is literally in the cabinet.

And our proud moment, Ryan walking!!!




We made chocolate chip cookies Sunday, we both enjoyed them.

Playing in his play hut.

He is getting pretty good at working his puzzles too! And he gets excited when he does it too!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year! Ryan's first Halloween we dressed him up as a pumpkin but did not go anywhere because he was still so little (plus, he had a little cold). This year he was a dinosaur. We took him to our church's fall festival and trunk-or-treat. Thankfully the weather was beautiful out! We enjoyed getting to see the costumes and showing Ryan off. He was the cutest dinosaur ever! Below are some of the pictures that we took.

Mommy and the cutest dinosaur ever! (despite not having a nap on Sunday, he did really well at the festival).

They had pony rides! Ryan was very excited!

He wouldn't hold on though, made me nervous.

At home with his pumpkins.

He still isn't walking. We did get him to take 3 steps and then 2 steps this weekend though so hopefully it won't be much longer. Maybe I need to take his walker away.

He took his role as a dinosaur seriously and would roar and get you with his hand. It was so cute!! Here he is getting ready to roar and attack me.

He loves to attack his mommy!
