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!

Be Progressive

A simple definition to Progression is moving forward, usually as a part of growth for the better. It is important to be progressive in all aspects of your life; your marriage, your career, your self-growth and your friendships. Some people are scared of progression because it means change, but what they don't realize yet is change is a good thing.

Today I am focusing on the progression of friendship. I am lucky to be blessed with many loving, caring friends. This particular group of friends have progressed through many years together, through many different stages of life and we are each unique in our own ways. I have loved being lucky enough to witness the change and growth in each of these wonderful people. As we have grown older we have moved away and come back, made new circles of friends but none of these things have affected our progression as a group of friends. We know the little quirks about one another that others may not understand or even notice.

So this weekend be decided to have dinner together in a progressive way. We started off the night at our house for yummy appetizers, then we moved to Jame's house for the main dish and ended off the night at Reive/Tigner home for a sundae bar. As the night progressed so did the fun, laughs, and memories.

Thank you all for progressing with me.

A whole new world

Ryden's new mobility has introduced him to a whole new world to explore. He exudes curiosity and wants to check out every nock and cranny. Here are some pictures of his current explorations.
