{Ryder :: 9 months}

 Here are the 9 month stats:
height 29.25" (85%tile)
weight 20.6 lbs (67%tile)
head circumference 17.75" (53%tile)

Things to know about our Ryder man at 9 months...
  • Just barely started to do an army crawl and will get up on all fours... any day now he should start crawling
  • LOVES to eat, pretty much anything. His favorites include: avocados, bananas, cheerios, and pumpkin bread. He's not particularly fond of veggies but as long as you don't feed him fruit first, he'll eat them!
  • Puts everything in his mouth
  • Has had about 3 colds in the last 2 months d/t the "put everything in the mouth" initiative
  • He is the biggest wiggle worm and has become much harder to photograph. No amount of pirate's booty or cheerios could get him to sit still and smile for this photoshoot
  • Quite partial to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
  • Wants to stand all the time, pretty much anytime we'll help him up. He can get up to his knees but isn't quite able to stand all the way up on his own.
  • Still a social junkie- he loves to be out running errands and visiting people
  • Has his 2 front bottom teeth and is about to break through on his top teeth
  • Favorite word: "uh oh", it makes him laugh every time... I wouldn't be surprised if it was his first word.
  • Loves his daddy
  • As long as he's not sick, he sleeps pretty well at night and wakes up at 7:30 am
  • Is so fun to dress up- he's going to be Nacho Libre for Halloween!
  • Has a smile that melts hearts... mine on a regular basis.

My Instagram Life

 I'm sensing a theme here. Apparently this little guy has taken over my instagram. I really should probably start taking pictures of other things in my life. Ryder man is just such a stud!

Love from Peru

 My sister McKenna went to Peru last summer and brought back this little hoodie for Ryder man. Now that winter is finally starting to set in, it was time to break it in. Just in the nick of time too, the little sweater fits him perfectly! These pictures were just too cute not to share. Thanks Aunt Kenna for the awesome llama hoodie!

Visiting the Mac

On weekdays, I get to be a stay-at-home mommy. I'm lucky when it comes to the days Ryder and I get to hang out together because the kid loves to run errands and be out and about doing things. One of his favorite places? ... Mr. Mac. He LOVES to visit daddy at work. I think it may have something to do with the way everybody drops what they're doing to give him their undivided attention. Ryderman is seriously spoiled!

Freshman Friends

 Last week, I got to meet up with some of my favorite friends from freshman year at BYU. Jacie Saltzman was my randomly assigned roommate who turned into my very best friend and Rachel and Ashton were the awesome roommates across the hall! We met all the way back in September 2007, and had just as much fun last week as we did when we first met. You gotta love those forever friends!
 After spending time together on Friday, I had a flashback moment and went and looked back at pictures from Freshman year. We sure did have a lot of fun!
