Ryan is intensely curious. Here he is investigating a neighbor's yard; they have a plastic bird with twirling wings. He also really likes real birds. We watch them out of the windows for hours and even put up some bird feeders to encourage more of them to stay.
Ryan loves playgrounds now: tunnels, stairs, slides. We went to the park frequently while the weather was good; we'll both be happy when it clears up again, so he can go back to playing with the "big boys."
One of Ryan's new activities is building nests out of blankets and pillows. He settles himself in with a book and reads to himself, as long as I am sitting on the floor right next to him.
