3+3+3=9!!!!

Another month and more milestones have been reached by our little man. With each passing day he shows us more of his amazing personality. He is showing us his determination, if he want to accomplish something he will keep trying until he gets what he wants. This has made for lots of bumps and bruises this month. He is a go getter and I know this mentality is going to give me lots more grey hairs for years to come.

Weight: 17 lbs 13 oz= 11 percentile

Height: 28 1/2 inches= 60 percentile

Teeth: 7

*He is now pulling himself to a standing position and by his 2nd day he already lets go at times.

* Loves to clap and bang things together.

*Loves you to repeat the sounds he makes and then he will repeat it again.

*FINALLY has slept through the night!!!!!

Nice try Dada!

We are still one baby gate short so Ryden can't get into the kitchen to Carl's cat food. Brian tried to be creative with a chair. Do you think it worked??? Sorry Bri, you couldn't fool this boy!

Family Vay-cay

Last week Brian was on vacation so we decided to go to Sunriver in Oregon for our first family vacation with just the three of us. We had a wonderful time just relaxing and enjoying one another! If you haven't stayed at the Sunriver resort it was beautiful and the staff was informative and friendly. So if you do not have enough people to stay in one of the big Sunriver houses, just stay at the resort. We can't wait till Ryden is older so we can take hims sledding or snowboarding!
