Ryan has always taken a bit more time to 'warm' to new situations. He's not a jump-right-in kid, likes to observe before he moves in. Then again, he used to laugh at things like 'boo'.
As for fear, he's still very fearless when it comes to physical activity - will jump off anything, climb anything, etc.
Ryan's language is also exploding, and he's sleeping/eating everything so we've got another growth spurt in progress.
I have heard friends who have girls say that girls seem to do the 'scared of things' phase later than boys - 3-4. I was alarmed at first when Ryan started at 2 1/2, so I called our ped who said it's perfectly normal and that there's a broad range for this cognitive behavior - he's starting to understand that he interacts with the world, and the world isn't always predictible.
