New Tricks

Ryan is now crawling.  Our first day in Texas, Ryan was given a rideable lion from Jeff's Mom (we still haven't figured out what Ryan will call her).  Anyway, Ryan wanted to pull the lion's mane.  He was fascinated by the lion.  We moved the lion all the way across the room and Ryan was bound and determined to get there.

A mere day or two later, Ryan was figuring out how to pull himself up on things.  He now enjoys standing at all times.  Forget laying down, Ryan is constantly on the move.  Jeff and I are in the process of baby proofing our home.  My job this week is to purchase baby gates and outlet plugs as well as those cabinet stops.  My child is into everything now.  

Here are a few more pictures from our visit to Texas.  

Ryan's chair, it's just like PaPa's..

Ryan's Jeep Walker (he could only make it go in reverse)

Mommy you said put the key in the ignition, right?
