Ryan

Ryan is the middle triplet and some times he certainly has the "middle child" syndrome! He likes to be held, especially when mommy is on the phone. Ryan is the biggest of the trio, weighing in at 24.8lbs (just this morning). He loves to lay his head on your shoulder and cuddle. He reminds us so much of Jacob - it's a little scary. He eats with gusto and has recently started putting food in his hair and ear. I know, it's lovely. Ryan likes to push the boundaries by doing things he knows he is not supposed to do... like climb on top of the kitchen table. I was talking to my mom on the phone the other morning and I came out in to the kitchen to find Ryan sitting on top of the table! I thought, "oh, this is new!" You should have seen the look on his face - he had a smile from ear to ear! He was quite proud of his accomplishment. I'd say Ryan is the best sleeper out of the three. He's like his mama - he likes to sleep in and is not really a morning person. Breakfast is usually his quietest meal. Ryan has very thick hair that grows completely forward, just like his Grandpa Tommy and his Great Grandpa Spiv. If we don't keep it short, it grows so straight forward it looks like he has a visor on! Ryan is Jacob's favorite playmate. They love to wrestle and Ryan can actually hold his own pretty good against Jacob. He loves to dance to the music from The Backyardigans and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (two staples in our house!). Ryan is the only one of the triplets who has started going to "time-out". He's been there (his bed) twice in the last week for being stubborn and not listening. Can you imagine that? A stubborn 1 1/2 year old!? I'm still waiting for Jacob's stubborness to wear off... and he's 3 1/2! We've got a long way to go! :o)
