Little Mr. Personality - Ryan at 2.4 years old

I'm slightly obsessing over this stage of "Ryanhood".
His little personality is peaking through more and more each day and I LOVE watching him grow.

( However, he is my baby and I'm wishing he would just stay this little forever )


He just learned how to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
ALL by himself and he asks to sing them multiple times a day to me.
"Mommy, Listen... Yayan ( Stills calls himself Yayan ) Sing" - he says to me.


He has a dance move and he calls it the "Go Ryan" move.
It's his signature move.
Aaron and I are a little obsessed with it and we practice dancing every day.
He's got a little "swag" as my husband would say.


He hates the vacuum. He is absolutely terrified of the vacuum.
I made the mistake of pulling the hose off the vacuum and "slithering it like a snake"
screaming "It's a snake, it's a snake"!!
( I'M SO MEAN! HA )
*Clearly an A+ move on my part.
In the process of slithering the hose like a snake, it got stuck to my shirt, ate half of my shirt and turned into a traumatic experience for both of us HA.

Now every time I pull out the vacuum to vacuum he shakes and cries yelling "No Vacuum! No Vacuum!"


CARS TRUMP ALL in Ryan's book.
At the ripe age of 2 he knows more about the bulldozer, and bucket truck, and digger than I ever will in my lifetime.


He has started saying prayers by himself every night and it's the cutest thing.
His "AMEN" is the loudest, most strong Amen I have ever heard.
It melts my heart!

One day we had a really crazy morning and Aaron was running to get out the door for work and I was running around trying to get things ready...
Aaron had kissed Ryan and I goodbye and had started to walk out the door when Ryan started to cry and scream "Prayers, Mommy! Daddy! Prayers! Forgot Prayers!"

Gosh, what would we do without this peanut running around our house!
He is our little angel.


Still asking me how many days until Santa comes again.
Awesome child.
I am thinking this will fade off but it's not looking promising.
 I think we are on 350 or something like that.


He asks for a Peanut Butter Sandwich about 3 times a day - not exaggerating.
I have to make him a green smoothie almost every day to make sure he is getting a few more nutrients in his diet :)
He is however, on a Salmon kick and I'm pretty happy he likes it considering Salmon is my all-time favorite thing.


And here he is showing his "blankie" that he will probably carry around until he is 15 at the rate he is going.
This piece of fabric causes so many tears!
"Obsessed" doesn't do it justice.
Ryan talks to it during the day and it concerns me a little HA.
"Blankie play cars? Blankie have milk?" - Seriously my child.

Ryan will be making an appearance on the blog here soon talking about his new house that we are moving into in a few weeks.
Stay tuned.

We love you to the moon Ry- man! You are our everything!

  6. What is it with kids and vacuums?! Our little girl was terrified of them when she was a little smaller. I've pulled it out so many times now...I think she's finally overcome it. However....she still hates the sound of public restroom dryers and toilets flushing. The child screams. lol
