Food Coloring Experiment #1

Saw this little experiment on Pinterest.   Ya take milk, drop a few food coloring drips in.  Then dip a toothpick in dish soap.  Take the toothpick and just touch it to the food coloring drops and they shoot away from the toothpick.  It was cool to see.  Kept this 2 yr old busy until it all got muddy and I said, "Next project!"

Baby Ryder is 7 Months!

I can't believe he is already 7 months.  Actually he is going to be 8 months in 6 days!  HOLY CRAP!!  I am JUST NOW posting these?!?!?!!!  Ugh, I'm so behind on life!  Here are his measurements from his 6 month appointment...Uh, I told you I was a little behind:

17 lbs 11oz (50%tile) - - lighter than Caden @ 6m
2' 2.75" (50%tile) - - Same length as Caden @ 6m
HC 44.4cm (78%tile) - - Um, his head is still HUGE!







Even though he has a huge, heavy head he has NO problem getting around.  The lil nug is all over the place.  He is the faster crawler ever!  He now pulls himself up to a standing position.  When he is sitting down he looks like he is trying to just stand right up from a sitting position.

He is always smiling and laughing, EXCEPT when he is in his playpen.  The boy does NOT like to be caged.  He doesn't like to be kept from roaming free.





Oh my, he needs to slow down!  He is growing up too quickly!



He makes me smile.  :)

4th of July Weekend @ John & Debbie's

We went to Michigan for our 3rd Annual 4th of July Family Get-Together!  It was another successful trip!  It's so fun to see the great-grandkids interacting.  My sister, brother & I used to love getting together with our cousins, so I am glad to see all of our kids getting together.  It's going to be a lot more fun when they grow up just a little more.

These sunglasses were a hit!













I love how Chris is hiding to get the boys together for a picture.  Hehe.  Brittany & Ryder are playing in the water table.  




Caden, Chris & Oliver








Woo-Hoo!  Sprinkler time!












Happy 2nd Birthday to Oliver!



It was almost hard to tell which tot was which.  They both have light blonde hair, fair skin and the same exact diaper on.




And the same Sprinkler Stance!  HAHA

Knee High Naturalists & Crawlers

Land of balls



Row Row Row your Canoe






Caden wouldn't hold the crayfish.  Love his facial expression





































Caden wanted to hang out with Ryder in the playpen








That boy is a crawlin' fool!



Everytime he gets to the hardwood or tile, he bear crawls like this!









There is NO stopping him.  He can now pull himself up onto some things as well.

Molly's Birthday Party

1st and only day he got to wear one of my favorite baby outfits.  It was too cold outside to wear it when he actually fit in it.





Happy Half Birthday to Molly!  I can't believe how big she is already!

Carey did another great job with the party!


Riley greeted us and then she and Caden took off















Caden had a blast sliding down the bounce house slide on Riley's lap.











HAHA
