I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. I know I'm not that great at updating as it is, but with the recent events that have occurred in our lives I hope you can forgive me :)
Andy was out of town for almost 2 weeks as they played two East coast road games while Ryan and I got our house packed up to get ready to move. For those of you who don't know, we sold our house out here a couple of weeks ago. It was a long, drawn out process where we thought we had sold then we thought the buyers were backing out-then back on then back off-then finally we had a deal! It was stressful, and left us with a whole 4 days to pack, but we did it! We are getting settled in our rental home and are enjoying getting to know the neighborhood.
I don't have an organized post so I thought I'd just put up a few random pictures of what we were up to before the move. Most of my pictures are blurry now though since Ryan rarely sits still. Here's the best I could do! Enjoy :)

Pre-4th Haircut

Post-Haircut! Ryan loves to play in the car. Cars are one of his favorites these days. He likes to point out every car we see, says "Car...vroom vroom...", and asks to go outside to see the cars on our street. I have no idea where he gets this interest from (HA-yea right)

Always on the move! He doesn't seem to walk much anymore. He basically runs everywhere with the cutest fast little steps you've ever seen.

For being an almost-17 month old, Ryan is really a talker in my opinion. I was making a list of all of his words the other day and I kept thinking of more words that I forgot. Maybe it's because I'm around him all of the time, but I can understand a lot of what he's trying to communicate. His favorite words to say right now are "trash" (he loves to throw things away) "watch" (as in "watch me throw this ball mommy"), "car", "Layla", and he's said "pumpkin" a few times. My list was over 40 words-I couldn't believe how many there were once I started writing.
I'll do my best to update again soon. We have some fun outings planned since Andy has some days off for the bye week. We are SO excited for some family fun!!
