A quick update on our handsome 11 month old boy!
- Went on his first trip to the aquarium and loved all the moving fish and bright lights.
- Started eating yogurt and loves it.
- Cut 2 more teeth on top bringing his grand total to 5 teeth.
- He took 4 steps on his own.
- Ryder's favorite thing to do is pivot in circles while sitting. Every time he starts pivoting I think of that scene from Friends where Ross yells "pivot" over and over trying to move his new coach up the stairs. I can't help but laugh.
- He loves kicking the soccer ball and has very good eye foot coordination
- His favorite toys are cars and balls. It's so cute to watch him drive cars along the floor.
- Ryder will literally hold your fingers and walk all day long if your back is strong enough. Mine is not. I am sore all the time.
- He loves to be outside and loves swinging in the baby swing.
- Ryder discovered my eyelashes and now when he's nursing he will poke me in the eye trying to get them. As soon as he has them in his tiny fingers he starts rubbing them together. It's very tender.
- He is nursing 5 times a day and eating 3 full meals. He still wakes up once at night to eat, usually around 5:30 and then sleeps until 9am. He takes 2 2 hour naps during the day and goes to bed around 7:15.
- He absolutely loves the car carts at the grocery store and Home Depot.
- He's been on a couple hikes this month and does awesome in the baby Ergo.
- Ryder did his first slip and slide and surprisingly really liked it. It would take him 3 minutes to get from the top to the bottom on his own scooting his way down but he didn't mind the freezing cold water. He didn't like being pushed down or going fast, but he really enjoyed doing it all by himself.
- He LOVES his blue blankey. He sucks on the corners when he's falling asleep and absolutely cannot sleep without it.
- And my favorite: his hair is starting to curl in the onset of the humidity. It's so cute! He has 1 curl on the top of his head and the back of his hair is a crazy mix of curls. I'm obsessed! I hope it stays curly.
