Should he know this?

Ryder has this new thing where you say to him give me a bonk he'll come up and head butt you. Should he really know what it means? lol We did not teach him this he started doing it on his own and when he would do it we would say bonk so he will just do it if you say bonk. It's so cute and funny. But I know we shouldn't encourage it lol so watch out everyone Ryder is good at head butting :)

Ryder Man

Ryder is getting so big so fast. He turned 13 months last Friday so crazy. He is getting so fun and funny. We love this boy and wouldn't know what to do without him. He is getting such a personality a cute one and an grumpy one lol He loves his dad he gets so excited when he walks in the door it's so cute. He still loves his bottle and blanky sure is going to be hard to break him from that thing lol he sleeps through the night most nights yay Ryder ;) He still isn't walking he'll take a few steps and he'll stand all by himself then realizes he's doing it and gets scared and sits down. He is super fast at his stink bug crawl ( I wouldn't want to walk either ;) He loves to play with his trucks and now makes truck noised with his mouth so cute and he loves to be outside and LOVES stairs. We love you so much Ryder and can't wait for the years to come :)

Edits

I love taking pictures and editing them I'm not good but I do it just for fun. Enjoy a few I've done recently :)

Dinosaur Museum

Today I took Ryder to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. My Aunt Barb invited us to go with her and My cousin Mindy and her kids. It is $2 Tuesday the month of August and man was it crazy. The line wrapped around the building lol but it actually went by pretty fast. There were so many people inside that it was hard to move anywhere especially with a bulky stroller. We still had fun but I think I will wait to take Ryder again when he is a little bit older and knows what's going on and I don't think I'll go on a $2 day again lol toooo many people. After we got done there we went and ate lunch at McDonalds and the kids played on the playground and Ryder loved it there was a spot for toddlers and it was a music place pretty cool. Thanks for the invite Barb we had fun love ya.

Crafts

Lately I've been in this really crafty mood so I went and got my Aunts Cricket (thanks Barb) (and I really really want one I love that thing lol) and started making name/holiday blocks and I also redid a wall in my living room. I'm not super crafty or anything but I think the few things I did turned out pretty cute.

Pictures are a little crooked in this pic. lol

2 years

2 years ago I married the best guy anyone could ask for. It may not have been under the best circumstances but we made the best off it and pulled through it together. I'm so thankful for Clayton and all the wonderful things he does for me I couldn't ask for anyone better. I'm so thankful that I am able to stay home with Ryder while he goes to work. I'm thankful that I married such a hard worker and someone who knows he has a family to love and support. It has been a wonderful 2 years and I can't wait to spend many many more with him. Thanks for a great 2 years babe I love you.

NICU Graduation

Ryder had his NICU (Newborn Infant Care Unit) graduation Saturday night. They fed us dinner and we played games and got face paintings, toured ambulances, fire trucks and life flights. We had a lot of fun. Next year Ryder might like it a little bit more because he will be able to walk around and do more games. We invited Crystal and her family to come with us and I think the girls had a lot of fun. Thanks for coming with us. Hopefully Kara and her family will make it next year :)
