March Highlights and Ryder milestones

Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 |
Highlights:
Carole came to town for an evening and her and Jesse got to catch up on Carole's crazy work schedule. We also got special cupcakes and celebrated her birthday a few days early.
Jori came to visit for 4 days! We went to skyzone trampoline world, pedicures, and Mellow Mushroom. We spent most of the time playing with Ryder outside and going on dog walks. Jori has become our most frequent visitor and we love having her!!
My brother David is in town and my other brother Chris came over to visit as well. Ryder gave his Uncle Chris the stare down and kept wanting to sit by him and pull his beard.
We also met our friends Russ and Ashley in Atlanta and finally met their cute kids! Despite having three kids under two at lunch we were able to control the chaos and catch up with old friends.
We had the most fun brunch with Becky and Egon at her parents new house in Sugarloaf. Dickey and Armand Balsano made us a very delicious (and thoughtful!) brunch. We all had such a great time!! I wish we were able to stay longer.

Ryder milestones:
This month Ryder got really good and very fast with his baby walker. He is now chasing the dogs and cats and loves getting to the stair case and looking at the post on the hand rail. We don't question why, but he loves looking at it, and when we get him close enough, her likes to try and bite it.
Ryder now drinks very well out of straws. I have to make sure to hide my tea of he will sneak some sips. The first time he drank from it he spit it out. Thank goodness it's decaf!
We now have to put Ryder in his vibrating chair, and turn on Barney to distract him enough into eating. He is so busy playing that he doesn't want to stop and eat!
He is still not too into eating solids and just prefers mamma's milk.
Ryder loves going on dog walks and hanging out in the baby back pack with his daddy. He falls asleep on the way home 99% of the time.
His teeth have still not burst through. I can see and feel them, but they are just not popping through. Poor little guy!
Ryder is still not crawling...WELL, he can scoot backwards, but no forward crawling on his hands and knees. He prefers to roll to get where he wants to go. I think he might be one of the 6% of kids that walks first. He "walks" around in his Juppy and with us holding his hands and he is getting really quick and has good balance.

Jesse is gearing up for several weeks of training so we are REALLY going to miss having him around. He is such a good father, and husband and his 30 days of leave have flown by! We are looking forward to May when we get to meet him in Destin for his training and turn it into a family vacation.
