All about Rylan

Rylan is a very busy two year old who can work his way into any ones heart. He has such a love for life and a passion for all the boy things. At times he can be so independent but still needs lots of hugs from mommy. Terrible two's.....nah, enjoyable two's.

Rylan has such a interest in things that have wheels. Motorcycles, trucks, cars, bikes, and new found joy... trains. Specifically Thomas the Train. He loves when Daddy takes him for a ride around the block on his motorcycle. From the time he gets on the bike to the moment he gets off all you see is his big smile. Of course a ride around the block is never enough but Mommy doesn't like him to go to far. He has also discovered how much fun it is to drive in the car with Daddy on the way home from church. Now don't worry, it's just at the bottom of our street. Another thing Rylan likes to do is beep. Ok, let me explain. We were driving to Mikayla's dance class and got stuck behind a van that was going really slow. It was quiet in the car and all of a sudden....BEEP BEEP! It seems that any time he can see the back of a vehicle he gets the urge to beep at it. He has a was of making everyone laugh.

Aside from the trucks and bikes, Rylan has a soft side. He is the snugly one out of the family and loves to be the first one to give loves before we go to bed. He also has a weakness for things that are soft and especially things that are silky. As soon as he feels it the thumb pops in the mouth and the comfort item in the other hand rubbing it up against his face. Now this soft side has it's limits. Mikayla got a new baby doll for Christmas. It's one of those baby alive dolls that gets sick and crys and you have to play doctor to make it feel better. Well, she wanted to play with Rylan and made the doll cry. She told Rylan he had to hold the baby and started towards him and he took off. So, we tried again without the crying and he threw it and said "NO!" and ran off again.

Rylan absolutely loves his big sister and when he isn't following mom around he is following Mikayla around. She has lots of cool toys he doesn't get to play with very often. Like barbies, polly pocket, ponies and dress up. They can play very well together and can also bug one another just as well. I think they get together and share different ideas on how to let mom and dad know they are mad or want something. They seem to copy each other and they do a good job at it.

We love Rylan very much and look forward to his constant personality developments. He is such a sweet child and has such a love for his family. He is a constant reminder of how innocent and precious life is. We are truly blessed to have him in our family and are wishes for him are the same as for his sister. We hope he will always be able to be so kind and gentle to those he meets and those he knows. He is a strong little man and we love him very much. A brother, a son, he is are lovable little Rylan.
