Gigolo

This evening, Michael grabbed two balls and said he was going to gigolo.  He threw both balls in the air and he was not succesful at gigolo-ing or juggling. 
Ryan has taken about 6 - 7 steps by himself, but still doesn't have enough confidence to just let go.  When I try to get him to let go of my fingers, he just falls to the ground and puts his head on the floor.  I'm still going with my original prediction of him walking by himself around 15 months. 

Not walking yet

Ryan has regularly taken a few steps by himself, but once he realizes he is doing it he loses confidence and falls down.  Michael was the same way.  He is still not saying any words, but manages to communicate by pointing and grunting.  He probably won't talk any time soon as long as he gets what he wants that way.  He likes walking circles around the house "chasing" Michael.  According to Ryan, Michael is still the funniest person in the house. 

Both boys have adjusted to their new schedule.  Michael's teachers always tell us that he is "awesome" and such a good boy.  And after the first week, Ryan is reported as being a happy and pleasant child (of course - they feed him).  Michael did visit Ryan on the first day he was there, but since then he hasn't. Every time we ask Michael if he visited Ryan he always says "I'll do it on the next day."  But he never does.  Not sure if Ryan even realizes that Michael is only a few doors down!  Maybe if Ryan ever decides to speak he can ask to see Michael.
