Happy about his penis

Ryden really is happy about his penis. Whenever I say "Ryden no chinchin doko?" he gets a big smile on his face and looks down and grabs his penis.
He loves to play and roll around on our bed. He always gets happy if we put him on the bed. Part of it is because we often toss him upon the fluffy down comforter. And there's lots of pillows to roll around with.
I have taken him to the local wading pools 3 times now and he enjoys it. He is still very clingy and doesn't want to get down on all fours or on his belly.
He had his annual last week and we were surprised to discover that he has yet another ear infection in his left ear. So yet again he is on Amoxicillin 400 MG for 10 days. ug. Dr Risse said if he's not walking by 18 months that we should consider taking him for physical therapy. Hmm, maybe we should just start now. I want him to walk. My tendonitis is killing me.

Self feeding

Ryden hit a milestone today. He fed himself a piece of banana with a fork! Z & I both got to see him do it! We were so proud. He took the fork in his left hand and stabbed the banana slice and just slowly brought it up to his mouth. When he did it both Z & I said, "Wow" and then we enthusiastically applauded Ryden. A huge smile came across his face and you could see this big piece of banana in his mouth. Then he joined us in clapping.
