Happy 14-month birthday, buddy! Although a bit windy and cold out today, it has gotten into the 50's the past couple of days and Ryker is venturing outside more and more. He loves it! The lumpy bumpy grass gives him much hesitation, but Bryan coaxed him by throwing a baseball into the lawn to get Ryker to go for it. The focus on the baseball kept him from worrying about the "weird" grass and he walked right on it without hesitation over and over!
It's really cute when Ryker encounters a different type of walking surface - even if just the color changes like from the sidewalk to the blacktop driveway. He stops, stoops down, and touches the surface with his pointer finger. He does the same thing when standing at the top of the stairs, too. He's so inquisitive and I'm really glad that he does stop to notice the difference in surfaces. Hopefully that will save him a few trips and falls in the coming months. He's still intimidated by the stairs, but today found some courage and while holding mama's hand, started stepping down the stairs one by one. Yay buddy!
