Ryan loves the Olympics!

Well, Ryan has shown us that he loves to watch television. It doesn't matter where he is in the room, he wants to look at the TV. (Scary, I know.) We will put him down on his mat and he will scooch all the way around so he can see it. He has been totally enamored with the Olympics. The bright colors and enthusiastic voices and cheering seems to really catch his attention. It really is funny to watch him. Last week Ryan learned how to flip from his back onto his belly but hasn't quite figured out how to flip back. And that annoys him. He'll get it soon enough, I'm sure. Ryan also likes to stand up a lot so Daddy built the saucer for him to play in on Friday and so far he has really been enjoying it. He needs to get about 3 inches taller and he will totally be able to stand up by himself in it. He is growing and changing so quickly. When we look back at his newborn pictures we find it hard to believe it is the same baby! We are having a blast and Ryan is having so much fun with his cousins Khalid, Tariq, and Mishial. He will be sad when Khalid and Tariq leave on Wednesday. Mommy is going to AZ for work for two weeks. She leaves next Sunday. She will undoubtedly miss him more than he'll miss her. (Daddy will miss her too.) Wish us all luck.
