9 months!

having a lot of fun with this little nug.  he loves playing with caden and is still always smiling.

Ryder Hudson

Oh no!  I lost the bet.  Ryder took more than 8 steps yesterday.  They boy has started walking!!!!!

Little Nug

He wasn't feeling well this day.  Teething.


Ryder's 1st Haircut


9 Months old and time for a first haircut!



Thanks Aunt Kim




He does like to be naked.  Mainly because of his mastocytoma.  Yes, that thing is still there.  And it blistered again.  First time since we found out.  I'm hoping it was just bc someone forgot and rubbed it.  Friction causes it to blister, which makes him dizzy & sick.  We need to all try to remember not to touch it.  :(




Love little baby hands!






Oh and he is allergic to eggs.  So now I have to worry about people giving him products with egg in it. UGH!   wtf.

Let's go to the Zoo

Aspen







Love them.



Caden kept asking to go back to see the dinosaurs.  He doesn't seem interested in this picture but he was.



Excavating dinosaur bones

hanging out

had an impromptu cookout.




oh yeah.. he stands.  on his own

Ah! My Baby is 8 MONTHS

I canNOT believe that Ryder is 8 months already!  He is furniture walking and just all over the place.  And fast.  Time really does fly.  And Caden.  Oh boy, someone is starting the Terrible 3's a little early.  (Yes the Terrible 2's have been out for years.  it's the 3's now).  These two have some spunky personalities.



Cade still looking like both of us.  The left I see Jimmy.  To the right, me.




I love how Ryder is trying to steal the toy out of Caden's hand, yet still able to hold his cute pose.  Which by the way, that toy was intended for Ryder to begin with.  Caden is the initial thief.  And then Ryder mid-takeoff.





love them.



This baby is ALWAYS smiling.  Well, unless of course he is crying.  But seriously, overall a happy baby!



There is that goofy face that I can't figure out.



And some more smiles.  :)



He has 4 teeth now! And is starting some solid foods  (other than puffs)  He had blueberries the other day!











Michael had to hold him by his shirt for the rocking chair picture.  Keeping an 8 month old still....not easy.




Looking less like a baby....   :(

The Medieval Faire

Hear ye   hear ye!   The Faire is fun.  Do it.   Do it.





yup.  That's my kid



He got to meet so many special folks.  Like the King and Queen!  What an honor!




He loved the slide!  Go figure.

Golf Dome!

We took Cade & Ryder to the Golf Dome for their first putt-putt experience.  That course is super stupid, so that probably wasn't the best choice.





I should have captured how it really went.....

Caden throwing a fit and whining, not getting his ball, throwing his club..



Time to take out some frustration at the cages.





Yes.  We took him in there.  He hit a few!!

Lakehouse

Jimmy's Lake Picture with his kiddos.
















































He didn't go in the water with the wings.  It was sooooo cold.  But he did go in without them  HAHA  He even went down the really high slide into the water.
