Week 18

He just keeps growing and growing! In the past week, Ryder has started to be able to hold toys and bring them to his mouth. He can also shake his rattles and hold his bottle all by himself!

Week 17

Mom is back at work this week and it's actually gone quite well. Having Grandma Debi watch Ryder at our house the for first couple weeks has made the transition much easier (especially with her email and photo updates of Ryder's day!). Though each day that I come home, I'm pretty sure I can tell he's grown! He has also been sleeping through the night for the last week and a half...from about 8:30pm to 5:30am. Then he goes back to sleep after that 5:30am feeding. Such an angel! Happy Hoildays!!

Week 16

Today we had our last playdate with cousin Autumn and Grandpa Bob. It will be tough returning to work next week, but Shawn and I have found a great daycare for Ryder and know he'll be well taken care of during the day...

We know Autumn - it's no fun being all strapped down. Hopefully you enjoyed a nice nap on the car ride home :)

Week 15

Ryder went with cousin Autumn to meet Santa this week! He also went with to pick out his first Christmas tree :)

I know you think I can't see it under all this fleece, but this tree is the one Dad!
