So much has happened since Ryan's first birthday! Ryan is now One and a half years old! He weighs 26 pounds(50-75 percentile) and is 33.5 inches tall (75 percentile). Ryan is doing all of the typical things an 18-month-old does...runs around, says more and more words each day, can point to many body parts, ect...
So here's a little about Ryan besides the "basic developmental" things. Although Ryan is not much of a dancer, Ryan obviously loves music because he cheers at the end of every song that he hears. He loves to be outside, either in the stroller or running around and kicking a ball. Ryan has no fear of dogs...if they lick him too much, he is not afraid to puch them out of his way (which we have to watch out for!) Ryan also loves to flush toilets...even knows the word "flush." He loves to blow kisses, and already says please and thank you!
This year for Chanukah, Ryan had a lot of family in town! His Nanna and Poppo were here along with Grandma and Grandpa. And Aunt Jody, Uncle David and cousins Noa and Ethan. (I will put more pictures below since it would not allow me to put enough pictures on here!) Luckily at the end of Feb, we will be home to see Uncle Brian and Auntie Laura!!! Ryan got spoiled with presents, and learned the word "open" as in "open" the present.
Ryan loves his "Cha Cha" (Charlie)
Playing with Daddy's hat is one of Ryan's favorite games.
Poppo teaches Ryan all about trains during he and Nana's recent visit to Atlanta.
Although Ryan really is an outdoor kind-a-guy, he has found one show he really watching on TV. It's called "Baby Boost Nursery Rhymes" on Comcast On Demand. It's the only thing he has watched that keeps his attention, and Ryan now knows the word "show" because he likes watching it so much! The chair from Auntie Laura and Uncle Brian has proven to be a great addition for our family room! 
Henry, Ryan and Cara get ready to go to a big street party near our house! Or should I say, Elmo, a lion, and Minnie Mouse?
Henry and Ryan....we asked Ryan where Elmo was and he pointed to Henry and said "Elma" (actually, he says Alma)
The school's parade of costumes!
