Ryan is "all wet"

Ryan took a long drive with his mom to Pinecrest Gardens way down South past his Aunt Lindsay's - so far South you're actully in "Northern Cuba" ;-). He had a blast playing in the water sporting his new swimming outfit for the summer.

Ryan's creative version of English

While Ryan has a very wide vocabulary for a two year old, he is still developing his pronunciations. Here are a few phonetic spellings of words Ryan uses daily that are quite cute:

• Cold - "chold"
• Couch - "Tao"
• Cracker - "Tawchoo"
• Chocolate - "Chee-chaw"
• Brother - "Brah-wah"
• Colin - "La-la"
• Maggie - "Manny"
• Coffee - "Fah-fee"
• Open - "Ahhjum"
• Barney - "Narney"
• Bubble - "Bahboo"
• Please - "Tease"
• Thank you - "Tay-tay"
• Nasty - "Tassty"
• Lollipop - "Meatball" (don't ask - we have no idea how he gets that)

First Post to Ryan's Blog

After setting up the blog for Maggie, it ocurred to me I should simply have one for each child so I can share what's been going on in their lives. Ryan has always had a domain name (I used to host a picture gallery at my home office) so I thought I'd setup this blog so you all can share in the Ryan's joys and triumphs.

Ryan turned 2 this past April 26th (4 days before Maggie was born). Below is a recent picture we took just before Mother's Day.
