Happy Birthday Ryan!

I can't believe Ryan is two! He is spending his birthday today with his Grandma and Papa Doody and cousin Alec, and couldn't be happier about it. I don't think he could get Tim and I out the door fast enough this morning, him and Alec were happily playing. Tomorrow we're having some friends over for a birthday party, and on Sunday afternoon Ryan is marching in a local Halloween costume parade of all the little ones in the surrounding neighborhoods. It should be a great weekend! The picture above is of Ryan in his special birthday hat made for him by his teachers at school yesterday (they celebrated early since he won't be there today!) Cousin Diana stopped by last night with a special delivery for Ryan's birthday, it came all the way from the Magic Kingdom.....

Thanks again Diana for such a thoughtful gift, as you can see Ryan loves it! Tim and I feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful, happy and healthy little boy. He is talking up a storm, loves to wrestle, watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, read his books, play with blocks, ride on his motorized car from Uncle Jim, and have lots of visitors and people around. It's been another full year of laughter and joy with our little guy and just like with the first year, we have had a ton of support from friends and family along the way. We are lucky that everyone else loves Ryan just as much as we do! As he gets older, he is also starting to make his own little friends. He tells me that Abe (at school) is his best friend, adores our neighbor Ava, and also tells me Maya at school is his girlfriend. THAT, I am certainly not ready for :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!
