Morning Routine

*sorry  typing with left hand only.  no CAPS

well today ryder woke up at 6, but then sorta went back to sleep until 7.  not bad!  he also has been sleeping in his crib this week!  yay!  caden just woke up at 10:40! lol  he's chompin' down on his breakfast right now (ryder is eating, too)  go figure.











"hey mom."   he randomly says hi to me throughout the day.  it cracks me up.



love those lashes




i can't believe how big he is getting!!


i looked thru comp for a picture of caden at this age.  this is what i could find:



they have the same ears!  lol  and cheeks but you see a difference between them


i'm starting to put some effort into doing tummy time with ryder.  he needs to strengthen those neck & core muscles.  might be tough, he's got a huge head  lol


eh, not bad!  :)

the other day, ryder got up at 6.  after i fed him, i put him in his swing.  caden & i went in to get him up at like 10:45!!!






"hi guys...i guess i'll get up"



showing me his marker



kissin' his bro, good morning












haha  i like that one












he has talons for toes!!!!   sqwaaaaaaaaack!!

Hangin' @ CFFD

"I tried to be good, but I got bored."




I took Caden & Ryder down to the fire station to play with their cousins, Abby & Avery.  Well, Ryder just slept the whole time.  Haha!!!  We have visited Jimmy everyday that he has worked down there this month.





Caden was more interested in our foosball table down there than anything else.  He knows exactly what to do when he goes down.  Same with Jax (his friend) when he comes down with his Dad.  Get on a chair and play foosball!  Haha











Little Avery smiling away!

Here is where Caden was at when he was Ryder's age.

Just to think that in 2 more weeks he could be at this point when Caden was 14 weeks old

I didn't realize we were already here!

We definitely need to do more tummy time and less eating, Ryder!!!!!  More Bumbo time, too!

He has been sleeping very well and just moved from swing to crib!  Ha, We'll see how long that lasts before I cave and go back to the swing!

After looking through the blog and seeing some of Caden's clothes, it sucks that they are in COMPLETE different seasons, bc I really like a lot of those clothes!

Come on Mr. Winter, GO AWAY!!!!


Caden has been talking A LOT more now.  He has a bigger vocabulary and recites his ABC's if you do one at a time with him.  So cute.  And I love it when he uses the phrase, "oh man!"  Cutest ever.  We have a big day tomorrow!  Going back to the doctor for X-rays on his leg.  Hope he healed well!!!  Last night, he fell and cut his lip open with his razor sharp fangs.  The doctor is going to think we beat our children.

Right now, he is eating lunch.  I CAN'T wait until he can sit back into his highchair, so he will sit down and not walk around while he eats.  But hey, he's eating!  Then he is off to take a nap and I will try to work with Ryder for a little bit.  Who by the way is sleeping.

2m Doctor Visit

He's a big one!  But his percentiles don't say so.  I'm surprised!





I like to compare his pictures next to Caden's.  Here is his 2m doc visit.






Daddy, I don't want to get shots...











Happy baby!


He only cried for about 2minutes after the shots.  And has done well so far!  Jimmy said when he took his bandaids off, Ryder just sat there and laughed.  The visit went well.  He is a healthy baby!

smile!

Getting Caden to smile for a picture is tough.  He is always running around smiling, but as soon as you try to take a picture....Nope.  Haha  Lil' Devil.




I can't believe how big he's getting!!!!





Ryder, on the other hand...sees the camera and TOTALLY poses for it!

This is what I get when I ask Caden to smile:


HAHAHAHA!  Totally my kid!  Every time he smiled, he closed his eyes.





Petting his "bark bark"




Ol' Blue Eyes





Great Lashes!




Daisernauts!

Then I look over and see this happening:








He's kicking his leg out, "Hey!  Take pictures of me!  I'm super cute!"








love.





Mr. Bubbles!!!!

2 months!!!

WOW!  Look who is 2 months already!!!!



Height: 1' 11.5"   65%
Weight: 12 lb 4 oz  50%
Head Circumference: 40.3cm  80%

He is bigger than his brother when Caden was 2m  by 2lbs and an inch.  Head is 2cm bigger, too.














And loving the camera!!!!
Ooh Just thought of a new photo op for his monthly shots....

Drinks: 5 oz per feeding

Naps: eh...starting to

Sleeps: so far so good.  Not gonna jinx it

Daytime: happy as can be now

Stuff: he smiles a lot and coos a lot.  He is ticklish, too.  He also started making the raspberry bubbles.  I think he is teething as well.  Probably going to get teeth sooner than Caden did.  I'm guessing bc he likes to eat so much!!!

So far everything is going well!  :)  Can't wait until the weather warms up so we can take him out!!!!

Randies

Ryder showing that he can do his dad's Goofy Smile.  I was going to post a picture of Jimmy doing it, but I'm lazy.




Tummy Time!




Caden building stuff with his blocks.  All of a sudden, his phone rings, "Hi Dada.  I'm building."




Bumbo!  He still needs constant supervision in it, but he is doing so well sitting in it.



Working on 2 months photo shoot.  He must have had a great song in his mind, bc he was a dancing fool!
