Bubble, Cabinets, Parks, and Lake Mary

	Ryan is in a phase of life where he is trying to figure things out like in this classic where he is contemplating the life-cycle of a bubble.
	Ryan has to discover everything. Like most kids, who needs toys when you have kitchen cabinets to rummage through. This is definitely one area we didn't consider child-proofing. You can see in this second picture just how much he moves around in the cabinet.
	We took Ryan to the Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life and he had fun. By far the most fun he had was playing in the sandpit at the end of the walking tour. He could have stayed there hours just picking up sand and letting it drop.
	We went up as a family recently to Lake Mary near Brighton ski resort. He enjoyed it quite a bit. Of course, who wouldn't enjoy their own personal sherpa. Well, I guess I'm not an elite mountaineer but I was sure gasping for oxygen hauling an extra 20 lbs on my back. Along the trail someone had made a mini-little snow man that I just had to take a picture of. Ryan enjoyed doing three things: Bouncing on the rock outcrops, playing in the dirt and splashing in the water. Needless to say when you mix dirt and water you get mud. His one-year birthday is coming up, maybe we should get him a cake that has MUD in the title. I'll bet he would really be happy! We just enjoyed watching him have fun and discover.
	Tracy wanted me to have more bonding time with Ryan so I decided to take him to the park to see how he would react to the slide. He seemed to just enjoy the colorful playground and did enjoy the slide. He was so energized he started doing pull-ups on the jungle-gym equipment. Doctors have always said he had good strength for such a small baby, but who knew.
