Ryan: "I don't like babies.  I just like pretend babies." 

When he is put in his crib, Jacob is frequently standing up in his crib and throwing his pacifiers out of the crib in protest. 
Ryan to me: "He gets up when you leave." 

Ryan on the mascots from Northwestern and Duke: I like Willy the Wildcat and the Blue Devil.  Where do they live? 
About the Blue Devil's cape and pitchfork: Why does he carry that stick?  Does he need that thing on his back with the D on it to stay warm?   

Ryan: I like cats.  They don't cost a lot of money. 
Amy: Do you want a cat?
Ryan: Yeah. 

Ryan: I want to mix juice and milk. 
Me: Ok.  I think that will taste gross and not many people do that but you can try it if you want.
Ryan: Because then I will have two mustaches–one juice and one milk. 

Ryan: There is a gas station.  They sell toys there. 

Me: I am glad you like football and running.
Ryan: But I like golf too. 
Me: Maybe we should get you some clubs. 
Ryan: And a ball!
Me: Yes, a ball too. 
Ryan: And let's get another club and another ball for a friend.  When Jacob gets big, he can play golf with me.

Meanwhile, Jacob continues to pull himself up everywhere.   

Ryan 33 lbs. 3 ft. 3 in.  50% weight.  75% in height. 

Ryan (playing with Little People Nativity set): "Jesus is the new boring [born] king . . . Mary drove a tractor and Joseph drove a car . . . even the monkey came to see Jesus."
