Mr. Ry Man is getting so big! He is going to be 1 soon (Eeek!) And I have yet to blog about his last couple months. Ugh. There is so much that should have been documented! But with Christmas coming up, and his birthday I have to get this done now and hope I remember some stuff. lol At least get some pics up right?! So Ryler kinda hit a turning point in his life when he hit 10 months. He weened himself from nursing (Yay!) Just decided one day he didn't want me anymore and started pushing me away. After a couple days of that I stopped trying. He had been refusing a bottle since he was a few weeks old but once he forgot about nursing (and with me trying a bottle regularly) He finally caught on (5 days later) lol Now he loves his bottle! And I love him taking it :) Within a week or two he was signing the word "milk" and still loves that sign. He also knows "all done", "food", and he waves. He says Mamma and Dadda and throws in a Pappa sometimes. They day he turned 10 months old he started crawling. lol FINALLY. He just decided to do it and has been very happy and independent since. He loves crawling off on his own to explore and loves to tag along with Brother. He will also come find me instead of just yelling for me to come to him lol. Around 10 months he also started refusing any baby foods. The only thing "baby" that he will take currently are the yogurt bites. Other than that its big people food and HE.LOVES.IT. He eats more than Tray by far and sometimes out eats me lol And don't let that kid go hungry for even a couple minutes.. He will let you know about it! He has his own little attitude and is quite sassy sometimes. He LOVES bath time. I get a very excited little crawler ready to climb in the tub himself as soon as he hears that water turn on. He puts himself to bed and sleeps 12 hours. Love that. He is now walking along furniture, standing up on everything, and using his little walker toy. He is a little Daddy's boy for sure. Darren puts him to bed most nights cause that's what makes Ry happy. Ry gets up when he hears Daddy get up in the morning and waits not so patiently for Darren to finish his breakfast (Cream o Wheat) so that he may eat the left overs. When Darren walks in the door Ry crawls right to him and will not be distracted till he gets his Daddy loves. I think its adorable. He loves playing with Velcro, loves playing on my phone, he loves taking anything apart or emptying anything out.. and will occasionally put things back in lol He loves playing with my hair, and playing peek a boo. He thinks the is just the most clever guy around when he puts that blanket over his head lol I love those little giggles! Ryler has 4 teeth currently. He weighs 18 lbs and is 27 inches long. He is in the 5th percentile for his weight and 10th for his height. The weight, tho odd when considering how much that kid puts away, seems normal. Tray has always been skinny. But the height? lol He is my adorable shorty. I love this kid soo much. On mornings he doesn't wake up when daddy does and I get to back to bed for a little bit, I will wake up to the sound of him playing in his crib. When I go in his room he stands up and gives me the biggest grin, some very happy squeals and a giant hug... ah! I LOVE it!! Seriously love him!! He is so fun all the time. He really is such a happy baby. I get comments on him constantly about how chill he is and just so sweet. Tray loves playing with him and of course taking toys from him (urg!) But I love watching them grow and play together. I love seeing Tray trying to teach Ryler things. Brothers are seriously so much fun. I am one lucky Mamma. I love my boys soo much!!! Alright enough mush... Here's some pics of my Cuties!
Ryler in his ADORABLE hat from Aunt Ra Ra. SO CUTE!
Ryler's first cookie. He loved it of course.
Ryler got a Turle toy from a friend and he just loves it. I just love that grin!
Cute boy!!
Loves playing with Brother. We built a play house under our kitchen table. They boys had a blast.
This kid LOVES his food. :)
Another cute smile from a cute boy with a CUTE hair cut! He looks sooo grown up!
I love them playing together. It makes me so happy.
Tray at Great Grandpa Collins house. We got to visit my Grandpa last weekend. I have pictures of myself at his age playing on the same blue carpet with the same bucket of toys. I love it.
Poor T-man received his first goose egg today. OUCH! He tripped on a toy and dove head first into the door jam. He was a trooper about it tho. A few tears and a Scooby Doo band aid later and he was running around again. :(
