Adding words to the list...

I became aware about a week or so ago that Rylar has learned new words. When he's sitting in his highchair eating you can ask him to "sit back please" and he does!!! Of course he needs many reminders as we go along because he is very easily distracted, but he understands what we are saying!!! You ask him and he does it!! It is sooo amazing watching him become a little person. It becomes more apparent each day all the little things he is picking up. Which is good and bad of course..

Busy Busy Day

We had a fairly eventful day yesterday, especially with how things have been lately with the weather... It started out exciting when Rylar didn't wake up until 5 am in the morning for the first time!! I was in shock. Then the excitement continued on when we got preapproved for a home loan and Rylar officially became a USAA member!! How cute!
Then when I was getting dressed I put Rylar in the middle of the big king sized bed and stepped in the closet to get changed like I have done many times. When not even a minute had passed and I heard a thump and crying! Rylar had fallen off the bed and bonked his head!!! He escaped with just a small bump. I felt soo bad!! But of course a few minutes later he forgot all about it. I am actually surprised that it has taken almost 7 1/2 months to fall off of something considering how often he tries.
Then things were made better when we went to the park with Daddy, Aunt Kim, cousins Zach and Daniel and Diesel. It was such a gorgeous day and there were lots of kids playing. Rylar had never seen so many and was quite the observer.
And finally we came back home and he took his first afternoon nap at 5 and welcomed Nana and Papa and the puppies not too long after. What a busy day! And on a side note Rylar's crawling is improving..he can make a few steps before he falls over. But still no teeth, though everyone thinks it will be soon..we'll see.

Little Boys..















Well we had another first yesterday!! After Rylar takes a bath Daddy dries him with the blowdryer, this is something we have done since he was born that he loves and looks forward too. And during the ritual Rylar found his little pee pee!! It's so funny and cute... My little man has found his little man... Daddy was worried about how rough he is, but I assured him that all little boys are that way and he will figure it out.










Also on a side note...we just got some sleet...in April?! Need I say more





And Nana and Papa are coming to play this weekend! We always look forward to their visit and have lots of fun while they are here!!

For the first time ever....Rylar didn't need to eat in the middle of the night!!! He still woke up a couple of times to make some noise and play with his aquarium, but not to eat! I'm sure this won't be a permanent thing yet but it's a nice start! He's turning into such a big boy right infront of our eyes!

Only Once!!
















Well for the first time ever Rylar only woke up once last night!! Of course he was wide awake when I went in there but he went back down without any fuss!! What a big boy..maybe this will become a regular thing!!





He's basically crawling these days, he can get anywhere and everywhere pretty fast! It's still a sloppy crawl but he definatly knows what he's doing. And you cannot leave him unattended for even a minute or he will be into something, our baby proofing days have begun!





Still no teeth! we keep wondering when we will see them! Anytime we have a fussy day I keep thinking they could be near... As far as the nursing goes as long as they want to wait is fine with me. Plus his little gummy smile is so cute!





I guess that's all that's been going on these days..It's been so rainy we haven't gotten out too much..
