Rolling Over - I Finally Caught It!!

After Ry's bath tonight, I was putting lotion on his back and could not get him to stay on his tummy! Each time I took my hands off him for a minute he'd flop over onto his back! I know it looks like an accident, but it was his third time in a row...he just hasn't mastered doing it with grace yet :)

Happy Monday! :)

I Can Grab My Feet!

Just a couple days shy of 5 months - Ry's been grabbing his left foot for a while now, but yesterday he grabbed both feet at the same time. So talented :) He also rolled over from his back to his tummy right after this (with only a teeny adjustment from daddy), but my camera's memory card filled up halfway through the roll!!

4 Months

I can't believe Ryder is 4 months already!

• 1/4/10: Ry had his first day at daycare today and did great! Mom did good, too :)
  
• 1/10/10: Ryder rolled over for the first time tonight!! On our living room floor, he rolled over from his tummy to his back. Dad missed the first one, so Ry was thoughtful enough to do it a second time, too :) So exciting!!

Daddy's learning all about the Truffela Trees :)

Go Vikes Go!

So many precious smiles, I want to capture every single one!!

First day of "school"

I'm finally big enough to play in my car!

4 months already (Mom used baby lotion to write on my tummy!)

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!!

Cuddling with Niki just before bedtime

Ryder loves his new playmat!

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!
