Monkeys and Eating AB-style in AFRICA!!!

I’m still exploring Africa here and got to play with LOTS AND LOTS of monkeys while I was in Rwanda. I like the name Rwanda cause it sounds like baby talk but it isn’t and it’s fun to say and there are tons of monkeys here in Rwanda. The forest that I went into to find the monkeys was really steep and it was like an obstacle course to go through it with lots of vines and trees and the ground was like a slip-n-slide except super super super steep with lots of mud and flowers too and so I got super muddy but it was okay cause it was bound to happen with it being like that. The monkeys were fun and I have two favorites!! The chimpanzees were fun because they make really loud sounds and hooted and screamed and were wonderful. They watched me as they picked bugs out of each other’s fur on a branch and then the big one screamed and they all went out of the trees and marched really really close to me so they were almost a meter from me which was great!! The others that I liked were called colobus monkeys and they like to jump and swing and climb trees and are like acrobats from the circus except they don’ t live in the circus.


Right now I’m in Ethiopia and ate Ethiopian food lots and the great thing about that is that you can eat and make a mess and it’s okay cause EVERYONE does because in Ethiopia there are NO spoons and NO knives and NO forks and so you are SUPPOSED to eat with your hands!! It’s super fun!!!!!!!!!!! Every AB should go to eat Ethiopian food cause it’s super delicious and some of the things look like baby food and you eat with your hands!! I love it!!


I have to go to bed now because I’m going to a place in Ethiopia tomorrow morning that is called the Camelot of Ethiopia cause there are castles there and it doesn’t look like Africa but it is!! Don’t forget to comment on here cause I love seeing comments and reading them and writing back!!! HUGS!!!

Baby Ryan's animals in AFRICA!!!!!!

I'm still travelling in Africa with the animals and today I am in Tanzania and today I went to this place and got to have lots of fun seeing animals.  There were lots of monkeys running about and swinging from trees and one even ran into the bathroom and someone that was in there screamed and that's just ANOTHER reason why diapers are better than using the bathroom!!  If you wear diapers no monkeys will attack while you're on the toilet cause you don't use the toilet, right?  The monkeys were so much fun and I ran about with them and they made noises and I made noises back at them and it was great!!

Actually, so many of the animals here could definitely use diapers because they poop and go pee-pee everywhere and if it's an elephant or a rhino doing it there can be a big mess.  Of course, some of the animals would get mad and it could be bad if you tried to diaper them because they could charge or sit on you and rhinos have really sharp horns so I think that I'll let some really brave daddy have that job if he wants it.  Little boys like me should do dangerous things like that!!

Anyway, today I was exploring this place called Lake Manyara and found three lions asleep in a TREE!!  This was really exciting because it's one of the ONLY places where lions climb and live in trees lots of the time.  Of course, most lions don't do that and that's why Simba and Mufasa and mean Scar all lived on the ground but these lions like the trees and so I think they're acrobat lions!  Of course, Jinxie (Daddy Denis and Grumpy Uncle Jack's cat) isn't like these cats cause she doesn't like to climb things.  Maybe when I get home I can teach her and then she and I can go tree climbing together and then someday visit Africa and since she's a cat too she can introduce me to the lions and it will be fun.  I'll have to ask Daddy Denis if we can do that.

I have to go to sleep now cause it's late here and there are so many more things that are exciting to do tomorrow and the next tomorrow and the next tomorrow too!!

Oh, I almost forgot to ask!!!  What is your favoritest African animal? I think that mine is the girraffe cause they're really tall like a dinosaur and they have really neat designs on them and they run really fast and they are friendly and whenever I see them they usually walk closer (not like some of the animals that like to walk AWAY) and they also a few times let me get really close and they pose for photos and they's super super tall like taller than trees!!  Of course, my favoritest animal in Africa changes lots so tomorrow it might be different.  What's yours??

Baby Ryan in AFRICA!!!

HI from AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right!! Baby Ryan is travelling all about Africa right now and it’s so much fun!! I just was in this place that is like a zoo except the animals aren’t in pens and there are no walkways or zoo keepers or cages and the animals all walk around because this is where they live before they decide to go to work in the zoo for their job. I can understand why some of the animals would want to have their job in the zoo cause the lions and leopards sometimes eat the other animals which wouldn’t be fun to be eaten so it makes sense for them to go work in a zoo but I think that most of the animals would have more fun here.

Did you know that some of the cats here like the lions and the leopards (not like Uncle Jack’s cat Jinxie) like to climb trees? They also know how to get down cause they’re big cats and big cats know those types of things. While we were exploring the other day in a big car we came around a corner and there were TWENTY-FIVE ELEPHANTS coming towards us and they didn’t stop!! The driver backed up and kept backing up and they kept coming and coming and then the big queen elephant in the front charged and they all charged and we went as fast as the car would go backwards and escaped but it was so much fun and I was laughing and I want to do that again and again and again and AGAIN!!

I also when I first got here went under the water with lots and lots of sharks. I was in a cage with the scary sharks that are called great white sharks but I don’t know why they’re called white cause they have lots of grey too. They came super-close to the cage and some people were scared but I wasn’t TOO scared cause I was in a cage and I think they would have gone for this girl who was super super super scared because she panicked. I also went scuba diving with other sharks in an underwater forest but they were nice sharks and not scary sharks and there were five kinds that I saw which was great! There are monkeys looking at me and making faces and I’m making faces back at them right now but I have to go because I want to explore more but I wanted to write something on my blog since have been away and am still away but wanted to say hi to everyone and, if you want, I’ll say hi to the animals for you!!!

Baby's Travels!!

Yesterday before I went to visit Daddy Denis I posted a new video of me on Youtube. Daddy says that he's so proud of his boy and that I'm like a movie star with my own show. I love travelling and pretend to be a reporter person like on the TV and talk all about where I am and it's lots of fun. They're only 3-4 minutes for each episode which is good because babies like me don't have that long of an attention span (unless it's a Disney movie or building with blocks)!!


If you go to http://www.youtube.com/user/blondboyjared#p/c/C762F3A5FBE40C27/0/DYiKJ3QSJQY you can watch the ones that I've made so far!!!


I actually made them all by myself with editing them and i like dancing to the song in my diapers at home!! My bear Ralph says that he wants me to do one about where he comes from which is Australia. He likes the newest one which is of New Zealand because it's CLOSE to where he's from though. Anyway, let me know what you think of them cause I worked super super super super SUPER hard making them!!! Daddy Denis shows all of them to Uncle Jack and Jinxie and he says that I should show them to more people so now I am!! Daddy says it's sad when I'm away and traveling and exploring new places but it's great when I come home with pictures, stories, and eventually a video too!!!
