Kiss Kiss!

Ryder's latest trick is KISSING! For some reason it is more of a wide-open-mouth, slobbery, almost French-type kiss! It is pretty funny (if you can handle the slobber) and he will, usually, do it on command. Here is Ryder and Andy in the middle of some PDA

Going for a drive with Dad

Ryder is having a great time with his toys! This one was a loaner from Aunt Kate. He still can't touch the ground to push himself but he can balance well enough to go for a drive with Dad

Tooth Monster

We are up to a grand total of 6! Two up top and four on the bottom... good thing because this kid likes to EAT!

A deeper understanding...

It is so interesting watching Ryder's development move along so quickly! The other night we were having some quiet time before bed and Hatch decided to join us on the couch. He was resting right up against me and I said to Ryder "Do you want to give hatch a pet Goodnight??" and he DID! He reached right out and pet him for a couple of minutes... I know we are biased but it was heartmelting... sweet boy!

Snow, Snow, go away!

We got our first official big snow of the winter season last week! Over a foot of snow at the house so we took the opportunity to put Ryder in his snowsuit and check it out. Unfortunately.... Ryder had a new tooth and no nap so it didn't go over well!! haha- Good thing I had my camera there to capture his mysery... (We hope he doesn't truly feel this way about snow... we live in the wrong neighborhood for that!)

Boo (Part 2!)

Here are a couple additional photos from Halloween time:

Boo!

Happy Halloween! We had a few fun activities this Halloween including an annual party at the Gee's. David and Laura sweetly host a mommy/kiddo gathering every year and all of the kiddo have an amazing time with each other (AND playing with a whole new set of toys) and the mom's have fun getting to know each other and catching up. Ryder enjoyed himself and looked adorable in his Tree Frog costume!
