We cannot believe our baby boy is now 2 years old!! 2! Where does the time go?
{Time, even though we do look forward to what the coming years bring, it would be nice if you could slow down just a little -- please and thank you!}
Ryan is such a blessing to us, and has brought us tremendous joy over the last two years. He is such a sweet, loving, and fun little boy.
Ryan had his 2 year check-up on Monday, and is a perfect and healthy boy. He is 37 inches long {still in the 97 percentile} and 31.5 pounds. He is learning new stuff everyday, and can now say quite a few words -- hi, bye, mama, dada, dog, ball, more, milk, juice, up, arm, nose, eye, hair, go, stay, please, hand, no, yeah, again, mine, shoes, hat, sit, get, two, car, door, bat. He has also recently started saying some two words phrases with his most frequent being "up, please!"
We had a nice dinner last night at Carrabba's just like we did the night before Ryan was born {on the way to the hospital, actually}. As we have decided to continue this tradition every year since, this was our third year of having dinner at Carrabba's on December 22nd :) Ama, Granddaddy, Aunt Carol, Catie, and Candler were able to join us this year as well -- an added bonus!
And we have had a wonderful day today celebrating Ryan's birthday!
Daddy made us a yummy breakfast this morning, which Ryan got to eat off the red "You're Special Today" plate {for the first time}.

Ryan loves bacon and milk. Eggs, not so much.
Opening presents from Mommy and Daddy -- a vacuum. 
And a Children's Nativity Set. 
Getting birthday wishes from Uncle Joe, Aunt Michelle, Erica and AJ -- also enjoying a little naked time :)
Then we had a nice family birthday party for Ryan this afternoon. Ryan had lots of fun being the center of attention, and playing with all the balloons we got to decorate the house :) He also got lots of great presents -- he is a very lucky little boy! Thanks to Grammy, Pop, Aunt Laura, Papa Tony, Ama, Aunt Carol, Catie, and Candler for being with us to celebrate!
Homemade cookie cake that Mommy made for Ryan's party :)
Snacks for the party.
Daddy did a great job decorating! We are ready for the party to begin :)
Checking out the Toy Story balloon -- Ryan loves Buzz and Woody!!
The birthday boy :)
Ryan LOVES balloons. Everyone joked that they could have just gotten him balloons instead of presents.
Aunt Carol and Catie -- so glad they were able to come :) 
Enjoying some Cheetos with Pop and Grammy. 
Opening a Little People school bus from Aunt
Laura. She wrapped everything in Toy Story
wrapping paper -- R was thrilled :)
Playing with Ryan's new Buzz Lightyear phone from Grammy.
Play food from The Young Family to go with Ryan's new
kitchen :) He is a big fan of the ice cream cones!
Another present from Aunt Laura ...
a Toy Story bath set :)
Time for birthday cake and singing :)
"Happy birthday to you!,
Happy birthday to you!,
Happy birthday, dear Ryan,
Happy Birthday to You!"
Ryan loves being sung too! And he looked around the
room and made sure everyone was singing :)
like he has it down in this picture but he struggled
a little with actually blowing it out.
After the party, we ventured across the street with Pop, Papa Tony, and Deedee and had some pizza for dinner --one of Ryan's favorites. It was a perfect day, and Ryan was worn out by bedtime! :)
Sound asleep!
