Ryan's 20 months

Ryan is 20 months today!  I can't believe he's getting so big.  He definately has had a little word explosion adding apple, brother, sissy, back, juice, pizza and there to his vocabulary.  Some days it's easier than others to try to figure out what he wants/needs.  Other days you can tell him to take you there or show you and he pulls you and points to exactly what he wants.  He loves when the big kids and Kelly go out on the trampoline.  He thinks he's a big kid too and runs out there to jump with them.  They are very careful to let him run around while they sit so they don't knock him over.  He's so cute when he picks up trash and takes it to the trashcan (if only he can teach this to his siblings).  He also wants everything to be in it's place (or the place he knows it to be).  We were outside the other day and the hose for the rain barrel had fallen down and he immediately went over and pointed and talked to me about how it needed to be put "back."  

Ryan loves school and his friends.  He was very happy to go back to school after the Christmas break.  He just went right in and started coloring and playing.  I think he missed being around kids his own size.  He was tired of being bossed around by his big sister and brother.
