I could just melt into those chocolate eyes. And I do... every time he looks at me, especially when he's smiling, which is basically always. This boy is golden.
- Ryder has started teething his bottom front teeth. I seriously never would have known if it weren't for the excessive drool and his need to constantly chew on any and everything. His gums aren't swollen, he isn't fussy or clingy. It's amazing. He's just his happy, cheerful self. His left tooth has already poked it's way up and the right tooth is still playing the up/down game.
- awwwww sweet sleep. He has transformed into this incredibly reliable sleeper. I can lay him in his bed wide awake and he'll put himself to sleep. We're all happy and well rested!
- took his first trip to Disney World and actually loved the characters. He tried to eat Micky Mouse's nose. He went on lots of rides and was in awe. He even did well on the road trip there and back which is amazing considering how much he loathes being in the car.
- still loves his baths and his butterfly.
- he loves to take fist full's of my hair and suck on it. It's pretty gross.
- he started seeing a chiropractor a few months ago and we are happy to report that he is off his reflux medication completely and is doing so great! It's also really helped with his gas. I've started to gradually work some dairy back into my diet and he seems to be doing just fine.
- sucked on a pretzel and loved the salt. He also loves to drink water out of a straw.
- Ryder has been desperately trying to roll from his back to his belly but that big ole noggin has been giving him some trouble completing the turn. I usually have to lift it up for him. But it has aided him in totally mastering rolling from his belly to his back.
- he is the pivot king. He can get from one side of the rug to the other without me even realizing that he's moving. It's time to start really paying close attention!
- he is still seriously just the most easy going, chill, happy baby. Such a blessing!
- this kid took another trip to Connecticut and was a champ on the airplane. He got to meet his cousin and future bestie Allison. They are only 3 months apart.
- Ryder loves classical music. I'm talking Hayden, Bach, Boccherini, Beethoven, and his personal favorite: Mozart. Symphony No. 40 in Gminor will get him to calm down and stop crying every time, without fail.
