I have been such a major blog slacker lately! Our lives have been so crazy busy lately I am having a hard time finding time. Seriously. But summer is over now (SUPER sad face) So maybe things will start slowing down a little. Maybe. This summer has seriously been awesome. We have been able to do so much, it has been so much fun.
Ryler is now 8 months old. He is so big. I know I say that every time, and every month it'll be true again. He just keeps growing and growing.
Ryler now has 2 teeth.
He LOOOVES pretzels. They are his favorite snack in the world.
He is still a major picky eater.
Still hates puffs. I don't know why I keep wasting my money lol (Gotta try every flavor, right?)
He is not crawling but wants to get around really bad. He ends up rolling back and forth across the room. I try explaining to him that crawling would be easier but he doesn't seem to care lol. He scoots and moves backwards.. He'll get it soon I'm sure.
He gives really sweet hugs when you first pick him up. I love it! It's like hugging fresh cookies :)
I had to get a bumbo tray cause he kept flipping out of his Bumbo. Scared me to death more than once. He is no longer allowed in his bumbo unsupervised.
He finally drinks out of a sippy cup.. sometimes.. when he really wants to. He's a stink.
He wants big people food so bad. He lunges at us whenever we have food. So I've tried giving him a few things, crackers, and what not. He seems to like just about everything. We were at my friend Erin's house for a play group last week and she had ordered pizza. I was holding him and eating mine and had no clue that he snatched someones crust off the plate next to me till ten minutes later I go to put him on the floor to play and he had eaten half and spread the other half all over his clothes. He seemed to really enjoy it too. (Great Mom, huh?)
He loves playing on my phone. Not just playing with it and tossing it around by he likes playing on it. Its a touch screen phone and he loves swiping across the screen to make the colors move. I also have a bubble popping game that he loves. I usually end up handing him my phone in the car cause he still HATES being in his seat. He'll hush right up and sit there popping bubbles. Its a new age for sure. My 8 month old can use my Android phone...
Baths are his favorite past time.
He is still in the super clingy mommy faze which is wearing on me lol
He loves Brother. Loves watching brother, loves playing with brother and doing everything brother does. I think its adorable.
He is now talking a ton. Yelling over people at times. I think its super cute :)
Love that butter ball!!
8 Months old! Wearing some big boy Jammies :)
Ryler loves being with Tray
For the most part Tray loves it too :)
I actually had Ryler in the front of the cart with me but Tray kept asking if Baby Ryler could come drive the car with him. Cute brothers.
A few weeks ago Ryler got pretty sick and had really high fevers for days. I finally took him to a local Dr. who told me "there is nothing wrong with your baby. Hes just teething." So I wasted my money there to say the least. I knew it wasn't just teething. He wouldn't eat or pee, was super cranky all the time, couldn't control his body temp and was sweating constantly, diarrhea, throwing up... he was very very sad as you can imagine. The morning after the Dr. visit we woke up and he had red spots all over his body. So I took him to the ER. LOVED that Dr. If I could take my kids to him all the time I totally would. Hmm.... ER well child check ups?? I might just have to. :) Turns out he had an ear infection, a virus, and was dehydrated. The poor guy. He got a shot and lots of gaterade and a few days later was fine thank goodness.
Relaxing after a rough day at the ER. No one likes getting shots :(
Hard to see in the pictures, but its a pic of the red spots that were all over Ry's body.
