Ryan's many hats and faces

Ryan turned 8 months on Friday. My how the time flies! Here are some of his recent discoveries and random things we have subjected him to.

Peruvian hat. Brought back from Peru (the country not the city) by grandma Coffman. He wears it when we go out on walks. Then old ladies walk up to him and tell Ryan how cute he his. One time while wearing this hat a few single girls who work for BYU's maintenance saw him and started hyperventilating and almost passed out due to Ryan's extreme cuteness. Jesse tells me I have helped make them baby hungry for life.

I caught Jesse the other day with his sock half off waving his foot around. He told me he was trying to figure out what was so fun about it. Ryan loves to remove and eat his socks. No idea why... Jesse didn't get the same thrill.

South American hats... maybe it's in Ryan's blood like grease and dough are. When I make bread Ryan tries his very best to get at it. Anyway, this is Jesse's Panama hat from Ecuador. That's where they are made. This hat resides on our fire alarm, but they were to be tested so Ryan got to wear it.

Western baby


The toy box. Ryan has discovered that his toys come from here. He will roll over to the box and pull himself up on the corner and attempt to pull it over. He has yet to succeed, but we will tip it over for him. Ryan will spend minutes in front of it pulling out the toys he doesn't want throwing them behind him until he finds whatever it is that he wants. For that matter Ryan rolls all over our living room trying to get what he wants. He did get a pretty good head bonk doing this. He tried to roll through the set of drawers next to his changing area. It left quite the red mark.

Most people are amazed that Ryan will "feed himself" (I have to put food on it and put it in his hand) Really though this was for my survival. It is the only way I get to get a bite in.

This baby loves water in the tub, cup, running faucet, rain, snow or however it will come to him. After eating he will start breathing excitedly and bouncing until you give him his cup of water.

I see the camera! You can't fool me mom.

See you all later!
