7 Months

Ryler turned 7 months old a little over a week ago and I'm finally getting the chance to update lol Life has been so fun and crazy the past couple months its hard to find time to do anything (such as clean my filthy house, and update my blog. Finding time to shower can even be tricky) But summer doesn't last long here in the great Wyo so we have been trying to take advantage of the little bit we have left. Hopefully one of these days I'll get enough time to post about all we've been able to do.

Ryler is in a completely new faze it seems. He has developed so much more personality and even some attitude lol He is still a really sweet chill guy.. but he's had no problem voicing his new opinions.

A few updates on Ryler baby...

Ryler loves to lunge and flop and roll toward things he wants. Usually landing on his face lol

He is starting to get some scooching down, but not crawling yet.

He could sit for an hour playing toys with Tray.

Tray has become his favorite person. Tray can make him laugh when no one can. If Ryler is crying Tray says "Its ok Ryler baby. Don't cry. I'm right here" lol its very cute.

Ryler does not like baby toys. He never really has. But lately he really won't play with them.

His favorite things to play with are Trays cars, garbage (wrappers, boxes, juice jugs, packages) and cooking supplies (spatulas, cups, bowls, spoons, measuring cups) I have gotten some funny looks when pulling out rubber spatulas and serving spoons out of my diaper bag for him to play with. :)

He has the most adorable laugh I have ever heard. I could listen to it all day!

He is insanely ticklish (always has been) but will now try really hard not to laugh, resulting in this growl sounding thing till he can't hold it in anymore and he busts up.

He cut his very first tooth this last week. The bottom center left one if that makes sense. Only 4 and a half months sooner than Tray. lol of COURSE my nursing baby gets the teeth... Nice right?

We are very suspicious that the other bottom center one will be coming in soon as well.

Along with teething has come some crankiness that is new to us with him.

He has become pretty clingy, crying when anyone he loves leaves the room lol

He is a very big Mamas boy right now and will give Darren all sorts of grief if I'm gone for a little bit, then beam up at me as soon as I walk back in the door. The stinker :)

He has become a Very picky eater. He wasn't bad when we first started solids. But now I will get spoonful of food and before he will open his mouth I have to put some on his lips which he will lick, THEN decide whether or not to open his mouth.

When he doesn't like something he REALLY doesn't like it. He is having a hard time with new textures especially. I tried a Gerber's Puff thing.. just a little piece. He projectile vomited to get it out of his mouth. Mushed up banana= Projectile vomit. Cheerio= Projectile vomit. Rice Cereal= Projectile vomit. Oatmeal= Projectile vomit. Green beans, peas, carrots, squash, sweet potato/corn= projectile vomit. And now even sweet potatoes will be hurled across the room. Up until a couple weeks ago those were his favorite.

But as soon as I offer him something he likes he gobbles it right down sometimes eating two full things. His number one favorite is pears. He also likes apples, bananas, peaches, and mangos. Stinker right?

Along with that attitude adjustment he absolutely refuses to get in his car seat or the bumbo if HE does not want to lol he was arch and kick and go stiff legged to where it would be impossible to get him in without hurting him.

He can stand to be in his car seat all of a few minutes now before crying and arching and getting mad. He throws such a fuss sometimes that he will be drenched with sweat and choking cause he's crying so hard. So I get worried, we pull over and pull him out of the chair and as soon as he's free he cracks a HUGE grin. I just know he's thinking "Ha ha Suckers!" lol

Despite his new little attitude I just love that butterball so much! He seriously brightens up our home. I just love him! And really... how can you get mad at this face....? :)
