Some milestones...
I wanted to record this stuff before I forgot it all!
Saturday, May 16th - Ryder learned to drink out of a straw! We were at McDonald's in Newburgh and he was polishing off a happy meal. (Yes, my ONE year old eats a happy meal!!) I had ordered him a juice box and decided to give it a try. I squeezed it slightly to get the juice flowing and he just started sucking! Now, life is so much easier!
He says SO much now -
"light on, light off" is his favorite game. He loves to flip the switch and watch the lights go on and off. If you don't hear him (or acknowledge him) he starts yelling LIGHT ON LIGHT OFF! He also yells this in public when there is no possible way for you to actually turn the lights on and off.
He says "Down" whether he wants up OR down...it's so adorable!
He frequently says "more" and the way he says it is the cutest thing I've ever heard. It's more like "mbowe" and the look on his face is so serious.
He struggles with his "m" so I'm "ba-ba", not mama, but every now and then he gets the "m" in there and I'm "mamba" or "bama" or some other ridiculously cute combo.
Anytime a phone rings or alerts for any reason, he puts his hand up to his ear and says "hewwo"
His new favorite game is boxing with uncle Johnny. He puts both fists up and starts saying "buh, buh" like punching noises.
At night (around 7:30) we say "Ryder, are you ready for night night?" He gets so excited and runs down the hallway to his bedroom door. If we take too long, he starts knocking. Matt picks him up and I kiss him goodnight and then Matt puts him to bed. We don't hear another peep until around 7am! We are so blessed!
I'm sure there are many more but I just had to get these blogged! We love you Rydee Roo! You are growing up so fast and learning so much! We are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday Big Boy!
Ryder turned 1 on the 25th! We can't believe it's already been a year since he came into our lives. We had his party on Saturday in the barn, and he had a BLAST!
The Setup: We spiced up the barn using standard baby blue decor but we also personalized it with a lot of pictures of Ryder. I also hung a curtain rod displaying layouts of some of his accomplishments.
His seat was the center of the show! Disregard the gross barn door! Eek!
This was when he first entered the barn. He just stood there taking it all in. All the people, the balloons, the decorations...he didn't know what to think!

We had all the food setup in this alcove. To personalize it, I put snapshots of Ryder the day he was born with everyone holding him who came to the hospital. Everyone loved seeing themselves holding him as a little guy!

Mr. Man in his birthday outfit!

The cake table! Since he loves duckies, we decided to do a ducky theme for his cake. You can see they made a baby cake to match so he could have his very own!
He LOVED it! We got him strawberry because on his birthday we gave him a chocolate cupcake and he tasted it and threw it on the ground! The strawberry was an absolute hit!
Roo and his PawPaw. Awwwww!
It was such a fun day...not to mention all the prezzies he received! Thanks everyone for coming! And we missed those of you who couldn't make it. :)

My Boys
Louie was feeling left out, so here are my boys...two drool often and one drools occasionally. What can I say? I'm blessed.
My girls
My speckled Payton and my tan little lovebug Maddy. They would be lost without each other.
Maddy turned FOUR this month. I can't believe it. Maddy is a puggle (her mother is a beagle and her father is a pug) and the absolute BEST pet you could ever imagine. She is medium sized, although MOST of her breed are smaller than her. She loves to snuggle and would do anything for a warm lap to take a nap. If you are in the market for a pet, I suggest checking the shelter for one of these designer mutts. They are absolutely the best!
