Quick Post

Ryder is rolling all over the place.  He started planking, I'm pretty sure he is going to be on the move really soon!  He cracks me up because he is so easily entertained.  You just look at him and he laughs.  Love it.  He sits up on his own pretty well.  He also holds his own bottle now, so feeding is easy!  We tried rice cereal twice so far.  He isn't ready for it.  Just pushes it out with his tongue.  He stands in his walker, loves to play with his toes, chew on his thumb, and play with toys.  He has the cutest laugh!!!

Caden had his 2nd birthday party on Sunday! Pictures coming soon.  He talks a lot and loves to play & eat outside.  He can count to 20 & knows his ABC's, shapes & colors.  It's cute to hear him say certain words.  I like watching the learning process.  Yesterday, he played ALL day in his pool.

And Caden's Update, too!

So, he never climbed out of his crib, but with the broken femur under his belt- - we didn't want to risk it.

Big Boy Bed Time!



He was so excited about his new bed.  It only took us 5 minutes to switch out.  I was afraid that he wouldn't sleep in it and just stay up and play all night.  We tested it out for his nap that day.  He did really well.  Went right to sleep.










We tuck him in at night and he clings onto his seahorse.  He has a load of stuffed animals in his bed.  And when we get him in the morning, he is quietly playing with either his stacking cups, trains, or  reading a book.  I guess the transition went well.  :)


Now that track is over, I will be able to focus on potty training!  We are starting the day after his party!!!!

Since he was 18 months we have had his little potty in the bathroom, so he can see it and sit on it if he wanted.  Just a slow intro.  We have tried sitting him on there with no diaper only a few times.  And no results yet.

When this picture was taken, he sat on there for about 20 minutes playing on my phone.  And STILL no results. Haha




We are going to do the 1 M&M for peeing on the potty and 2 for pooping.  He does NOT get any if nothing comes out.  If he tries to go, he gets a stamp.  He is really excited about it, I hope it goes as well as the toddler bed transition did.

We are in the middle of moving & selling our house, so there is a lot going on.  That will make all of this just that much harder.  So far so good!

I can't believe he is 5 months old

Uh oh, he has that goofy smile that Jimmy does!  Haha.  He is so much fun.  Except from 6pm-9pm.  All he does is scream & cry then.  During the rest of the day, he is AWESOME!  He smiles & giggles at everything.   He loves watching his older brother play.  Caden will go over to him and play with him for a few as well.  As you can see, he found his toes.  Always grabbing for them.




He sits up really well now.  Still spits up a lot when on his belly, though.  He's strong, too.  He stands up in his walker for long periods of time.




Vroom....Vroom...



Goofy Jimmy Smile




We tried giving him some rice cereal from a spoon the other night.  He didn't like it as much as I thought he would.  LOL  I'll post those pictures soon.



I was putting lotion on him yesterday and I noticed that he is really thinning out.  He is LONG & LEAN.  He wears mostly 6-9m clothes.  But I think 9m works well.  Depends on the item.  We had to go shopping for him the other day, bc Caden's old clothes are the wrong season for Ryder.  Stuff Caden wore at this time was for a 3m old.  Yeah....that won't fit a 5m old!  At least not this nug.




Look mom, no teeth!




Love him.




He is still really ticklish.  The mastocytoma on his arm is doing well I guess.  It hasn't blistered since we found out what it is.  So we must be doing something right!  :)  I hope it goes away sooner than later though, so I don't have to worry about it anymore!  That shirt he is wearing was Caden's.  It's sized 6m.  I don't think he will be able to wear it again.  Haha.  Look how short the arms are.

baby ryder is 5 months!!!!??!!!
