9th Month in Review (and a visit from Grandma Mason)

I love this picture... Ryan tries to figure everything out.

I want to give everyone a quick update on what Ryan has been up to in month 9! (Next week he will be 10 months old).
- He is starting to pick up sign language; so far he has “all done” and “more.” He gets confused about when to use all done, but we are getting it.
- He can stand without holding onto anything for a few seconds
- He waves “good bye” and “hello”
- He has certain favorite books and the second I start reading them he gets really excited.
- He has stranger anxiety with certain people and he doesn’t get over it easily ( it takes weeks or months and you have to do it on his terms).

- He has figured out what a camera is, he poses when I pull out the camera. He closes his eyes and gives a cheesy smile. After the picture is taken he wants me to turn around the camera and show him how it turned out. When I show him he always laughs.

This week we had lots of visitors. Ryan’s great grandmother on my side (as seen in the last blog). This weekend Ryan’s Paternal Grandmother and Great Uncle David came from Massachusetts. They were here for perfect 80 degree weather!

Grandma Mason!
