these are a few of his favorite things....

Ryder is a funny kid. He has these incredibly dramatic expressions that, even when he is in trouble, I just want to laugh.
He is also very articulate about things that he likes, with baby blabber, pointing, laughing, the waving of arms... you don't have to wonder if he likes somethings.
So as a 15 month old, these area few of his FAVORTIE things:
~Kit
~Humus on crackers or carrots (first he licks the humus off, and then proceeds to eat the cracker or carrot)
~his extended family and friends (he goes particularly ape when he sees my dad...)
~being outside
~being ANYWHERE near or in water (our fountain, the hose bib, the hose, the bath...)
~Kit
~the vacuum cleaner (which makes me laugh because he used to be so scared of it but now he loves it when I vacuum. go figure.)
~going "bye-bye" (first you tell him he is going "bye-bye, then he smiles and waves at you and then he heads to the front door
~Kit
~reading his dinosaur books (if you ask him to go get his dinosaur book, he will go into his room and pull them off his book shelf and bring them to you...)
~stacking and then knocking down blocks. (This one could keep him entertained for hours!)
~watching "Sesame Street" or "Shaun the Sheep"
~Kit
~the game of chase and wrestling (generally combined)
~ripping my magazines... (He thinks it makes the coolest sounds ever, not to mention the huge mess of papers that it leaves.
~coming in bed with us on a morning when Kit is off and cuddling.
~Kit
~climbing on anything that will hold him.
~pushing buttons (Usually mine... just kidding, sort of), on our computer or Kit's laptop.
~Music videos on You tube by sesame street
~turning light switches on and off (this is combined with his love of climbing and my vintage kitchen step ladder...)
~music with a beat and he LOVES to dance!
~his bed (which he will point to when he is ready for Kit to put him down for the night.)
~Kit
I am excited to watch this little man grow, but I am loving where he is right now...
(Wait, where is he right now!?)
Oh right, enjoying his three hour nap time!
