RYAN LOVES the WATER!

Ryan has gone from being terrified of taking a bath to wanting a bath at least once a day if not more.
I was watering plants and Ryan wanted to help. He didn't stay dry long so I took off his clothes and let him play with the hose. He played for almost an hour and loved it. He kept spraying himself with water and then would take off running away from the hose. It was fun to watch him and see how he would shake and move the hose to make the water go everywhere.

Day at the lake

This weekend some of us spent the night at the lake house and then spent the day at the lake. I need to be better at taking pics but here are a couple I took while I had a second when Ryan was sleeping. We always love going to the lake. We went Tues. with Mike, Joe, Neal, Laura, and Rick and then Saturday the whole Hart family was there except for Grandad and Grandma. It was a lot of fun.

Game Time!

This year Nate and I are playing on a coed softball team and Nate is playing with the guys on a team. I think this is their sixth year to play together. At this particular game all three of the boys were playing in the dirt. Ryan is always nice and dirty by the time it's time to go home after the two games. Between talking with the girls and watching Ryan I don't see much of Nate's game.

Howling Ryan.

I found this and thought it was cute so I'm putting it on here. He used to howl like this all the time. I don't know why but it was cute and funny.

Ryan first walking

This is the only video I have of him walking right now. It is when he just started. I think the first day or so of him really walking. Now he is a pro. I need to take new pictures and video of him.

Trip to the zoo

Ryan loves animals so he loved going to the zoo. They had a petting zoo for the kids so he was able to feed and pet the animals. He loves to see the chickens and kitty cat with grandpa Hart and the horses with grandpa Nothum. He even loves the dogs that we have next door to us. They bark and look like they will bite your head off but he doesn't care and tries to touch them through the fence. I on the other hand am not so brave so I keep him away from the fence. He makes the same sound for every animal. It's a mix between a cow and a dog sound. He also loves our fish and everytime he hears their feeder go off he runs into the room and says fish.

Ryan is walking now also. He finally decided he wanted to walk the first of June. He goes everywhere he can now. At the lake he walks all over the dock up and down all of the slips.
He also likes to push around the broom and help me sweep. Anytime I leave the laundry door open he wants the broom so he can push it around. He gets really mad when it gets stuck on the carpet and won't go.
Ryan throws everything, including his food he doesn't want. I have tried everything that I can think of to get him to stop but it doesn't seem to help. I guess I will just wait it out.

Ryan still loves anything that goes. He is always wanting to drive. Especially dad's truck. Every time he sees cars, trucks, tractors, boats, or lawnmowers he makes the "vrooom, vroom sound. He had his first trip to the lake this week and loved it. When he got in the ski boat he could hardly stand it he was so excited. He even loved riding on the tube with Nate and I behind the boat. It was more like a couch than a tube, but we were still bouncing up and down and going everywhere on it . He just sat back and had a good time and almost fell asleep because he was so tired.

Ryan's mean look. Ryan has quite the personality. Sometimes out of nowhere he will look at me like this. I give him the look back and he smiles and will do it so more. It's pretty cute. I never know when he will start doing it. He will go for days without doing it and then all of the sudden do it again. Sometimes we can get him to do it on call.
