We recently got all of our pictures back from our photo session with Kim Rahn.
I love them all!
Below are a few. Look how handsome our little mister is ... :)

Stella's 3rd Birthday
A couple of weeks ago we went to Stella's 3rd birthday party at Gymboree. It was lot of fun. Ryland still did not participate in the "group activities" but had a blast running around and playing with everything.
I did not get a lot of pictures but here are a few.
The birthday girl!
Woody and Buzz Lightyear
Lindy sent me a picture of Ryland from the UGA/Tenn football game.
He was in LOVE with Maddie's Woody and Buss Lightyear. Luckily Maddie was very nice about sharing them with him all day and letting him carry them around.

Sharing is Caring
Scene: All of us were eating cereal at the breakfast table. Ryland picked out his 2 boxes of cereal (Kix and Cheerios) and was on his first bowl. Tab is eating Honey Combs. We keep Ryland away from the "sugar" cereal so he is not allowed to eat Honey Combs.
Ryland: "Daddy, can I have some of your cereal?"
Tab: "No, this is daddy's cereal. You have your 2 boxes of cereal that you picked out"
Ryland: "Daddy, sharing is caring. Can I have some of your cereal?"
Tab: "No, this is daddy's cereal."
Ryland: "My teacher said 'sharing is caring'."
Tab: "Yes, sharing is caring. So you can have one bite of daddy's cereal."
I guess they have been working on sharing at school. We have never heard Ryland say "sharing is caring" and he held it until the perfect opportunity. And how can you say no to that request :)

Lately ...
I cannot even begin to document everything that has been going on lately but I will try ... Our little mister is growing up so fast.
His personality is the best. He is such his own little person. I am sure that all moms say that about their kids but Ryland really has a great personality and is so funny. He makes us laugh all the time :)
He still loves all sports ... loves to play them and loves to watch them on tv. Loves to kick balls, loves to swing a golf club, loves to catch balls, loves to bounce balls.
Breakfast is his favorite meal of the day. I think he eats enough at breakfast to last for the entire day. During the week he eats cereal most of the time. He ALWAYS has to eat 2 types of cereal. He will pick his 2 boxes of cereal out of the pantry each morning and then take them over to his chair. He has been eating 4 or 5 small bowls of cereal every morning. But now we are trying to get him to only eat 1 big bowl of each cereal (2 total) so that we can get through breakfast time a little quicker. On the weekends he loves to make blueberry muffins. We have an animal muffin pan with 8 animal shapes. Ryland picks out 4 of them for himself and then he gives me 2 and Tab 2.
Ryland loves his routine! This morning I drove "daddy's big truck" into work so that I could get it cleaned and he was not happy about it at first because that was the car that he was "supposed" to go to school in. And Codi could not ride in my car with them (yes - Codi goes to school every morning with them in daddy's big truck!)
Ryland has been pushing the limits with not listening and pitching your typical 2 year fit. It is hard for Ryland to unwind after he starts throwing a fit ... nothing is right even if you give him what he is asking for. Time outs are hard because he does not want to stay in his time out spot. Got to love the terrible twos! Lets hope this stops when he turns three in December!!
Ryland has zero interest in potty training. All of the excitement that we had back in the summer is gone. Lets hope he is ready soon.
Ryland is already excited about his 3rd birthday! We talk a lot about it. And he tells us what kind of cake he wants. Originally it was Sponge Bob (ummm - no!) and now it is Lightning McQueen (much better). One time I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday party and he said that he wanted to take his friends to Publix to get sprinkle cookies. Now that would be easy!! We still have not decided on the birthday party details but I need to get them confirmed so that I can order and send the invites. December is going to be here before we know it!
Ryland is going to die when Dash (elf on the shelf) reappears next month. He is starting to talk about him and Santa Clause again and how they are in the north pole together.
Ryland is really into counting stuff right now. Counting cars, road signs, chicken nuggets, anything!
Ryland is getting really good at recognizing all of his letters. We are working on him being able to spell his name.
He LOVES his "tennis shoes". He has moved from wanting to wear his crocs every day to now wanting to wear his tennis shoes every day. They allow him to run faster and jump higher :) I am a little picky about shoes for him and I do not like most tennis shoes that are out there for toddler boys. But I love the gray New Balance tennis shoes so that is what he has. And after they started falling apart from being worn so much and being washed so many times in the washer I got online to order a new pair and found out that they were sold out of his size! Luckily my mom was at the outlet last week and was able to find them in the New Balance outlet store so now he has a brand new pair. Ryland was so excited! The first night that he had his new shoes he had to put them on and go outside to see how high he could kick the ball!
Food loves ... apples, grapes, chick-fil-a, cereal, muffins, cookies from publix, avocados (he is back to loving these!), grilled cheese sandwich dipped in tomato soup, marsh mellows & raisins, sauces to "dip" his food in and cheese pizza (he has started to not like toppings on this pizza).
Most of the time he has to have shoes on. He does not like to go barefoot unless it is bed time.
He loves to whisper secrets or when he is sneaking up on something.
He loves to hide and have us find him.
He loves Cars and Toy Story!
Got to love our Ryland!

Pumpkin Farm
We met the Fabregas' at Big Springs Farm yesterday and had so much fun! There were donkeys, goats, pigs and sheep there. And Ryland got to feed them - which he LOVED.
After hanging out at the farm for a while we all went to lunch. The weather was beautiful and it was grant to hang out with Jorge, Kari, little Jorge and Estella!
Ryland was not the best "listener" while we were there which is always fun (he is definitely going through that phase right now)!
I will post more pictures soon but here is a quick preview ...
Eating a "Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treat" ...

October Fun
Kissing the frog on the way to lunch.
Eating his first ice cream sandwich in the car ... making a mess :)
Playing outside with Easton ... they both came out in their Superman tshirt. 2 of the balls from the picture below were lost 5 minutes after this picture was taken - they now live somewhere in the Honeysuckle Street drains or ivy covered areas!
On a side note:
Ryland came into our bedroom yesterday morning after climbing out of his bed (yes - he is still in a crib. he loves his crib too much for us to move him so we have not been a rush). Tab and I were still sound asleep and did not hear him climb out of his bed or close his bedroom door. He walked over to my side of the bed and "plopped" 2 things on the bed ... (1) his water cup and (2) his entire Saturday football outfit that he dug out of his dirty clothes basket. As he put them all next to me on the bed he said "Dont put it away". He was upset that I had thrown his football shirt, pants and socks in the dirty clothes - He wanted to put them all back on. Can you tell that he loves his new football shirt for this season :)

Lindsey and Jim's Wedding Fun
Kim sent me some pictures from Lindsey and Jim's wedding back in May.
The ones of Tab dancing are too cute not to post on the blog.
What a great night and great wedding ...
Goooooooooo DAWGS ...
Ryland went to the UGA vs Tenn football game with us on Saturday. He has been talking about going to it for weeks and was really excited! Chuck and Lindy brought Maddie and Lainey for tailgating so it was perfect. Ryland and Maddie played together and on the drive up Ryland wanted to make sure that his friend Maddie was wearing her "football" shirt too. I did not get any pictures of them together but they were really cute running around together. And luckily Maddie brought her Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story ... Ryland carried them around all afternoon :)
On the drive up .. holding his "Georgia" football for the entire trip.
Ryland was so good in the game. Kickoff was at 3:30pm and he was exhausted from all of the tailgating fun. He ended up passing out in my arms in the first quarter and slept for around 30 - 45 minutes. He then woke up and got right back into the game. His favorite part was watching "Harry Dog" on the field. And watching the bands at halftime. And he did not like it when we cheered ... I think it scared him so we were not allowed to yell or clap :)
After a long and very stressful game Georgia ended up winning!
Go Dawgs!
