Happy 18 Months Ryan!

Today, Ryan Elizabeth is 18 months old! What a wonderful 18 months it has been having her in our lives. She is such a gift and joy from above and daily we thank the Lord for her being born into our family. At 18 months Ryan enjoys playing and bouncing in her oversized chair, talking almost every waking moment and singing too. Her favorite words are baby, puppy, bye, hi, bah (bath), and shoe to name a few. Each night when we put her to bed or at naptime she always says "bye" I guess that is her way of saying goodnight. One of her favorite foods is bananas and yogurt. She also enjoys playing with Tucker much to his dislike and finds creative ways to put his collar on his head, back, or just knees around holding it in her hands. Often when Kris or I are laughing she does a fake laugh herself to chime in, which is so cute and she's never bashful about clapping for herself after walking or doing something funny. One thing Ryan is great at is being polite. She routinely says "thank you" and the other day after I sneezed she said "bless you" twice in her own sweet way! There are so many precious things she does and says that it's hard to put in writing, but one thing we know, she is a treat and brings a smile to our faces daily. We love you Ryan Elizabeth!
