Ryan may be getting big, but he still fits in the kitchen cupboards!




Yep, he still wears that hockey jersey all the time -- but at least he has pants on this time. (I note that "jersey" is pronounced "zee-bee.")

Here's Ryan in the same cupboard almost 1 year ago:



We have found 2 to be a very fun (and non-terrible) age. Ryan has been asserting possession of things for a while now (as in "no, that's mine!" if the cat walks within 5 feet of him while he's playing with his trains). Lately this has taken on a new form that we find very amusing and sweet. If the cat (Alby) walks up to me to be petted while Ryan is nearby, Ryan will often say, "No, Alby, that's MY mommy!" and will run over and wrap his arms around me. (Or, if it's the dog seeking Rob's attention, "No, Jessie, that's MY daddy!") I just want to keep him this little and sweet forever!
