He's doing what???

An update on Ryland. He is starting to show his other side, his temper that is. The side that gets mad when I change his clothes or make him lay still when I change his diaper or when I tell him 'no' and move him from something he wants to be doing, etc... He is starting to hit at my hands and I'm sure he knows I hate it when he pulls my hair because he will look at me, smile and pull my hair very, very hard. I tell him 'no' and he does it again. I didn't know 9 month olds were so smart. He knows exactly what he wants to get into and pitches a fit when he doesn't get his way. I guess it's that red hair!

Oh! On another note, his second bottom tooth came through.

Ryland's first tooth

Ryland's first tooth has popped through. I can just feel it when I rub his bottom gum. I love looking at his smile and seeing all gums. I guess I better enjoy it for a little while longer.....

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!

Today is mine and James's 9 year anniversary!! God has truly been good to us. I am so blessed to have a man that loves the Lord first and then his family second.

Happy Anniversary Baby, I love you !

9 Month Appt.

Ryland had his 9 month appt. Everything went fine. For those who don't know, Ryland has reflux very bad and spits up all day, every day. While we were in the room waiting for Dr. B, he spit up 3 times. Then when she was in there, he spit up on my shoulder and it went down the front and back of my shirt. Talk about distracting. He weighs 18 lbs and measures in the 25 percentile on height, weight and head size. I guess he's gonna be small. Sorry Ryland.....

He is crawling and pulling up everywhere and loves looking out of the back door. He can eat off of the table and he's doing good picking little pieces of food up and putting them in his mouth. He can drink from a straw, that is very impressive to James and me. He is such a people person and he's starting to 'dance' to music. So sweet.

My baby is getting big....I'm loving every day and cherishing it because I know it will go by fast.

Ryland's first haircut

It was time...Ryland's hair was hanging over his ears and was getting long in the back. His Uncle Craig even called him a girl. lol

Ryland and I went yesterday and got our hair cut. He did really well. He kept looking all over the place and wasn't very still, but we got it accomplished. I didn't want a lot cut, just trimmed. I think it turned out well.

Camping

This past weekend, we went camping at the lake. We had a great time and the weather was nice. Ryland did great, of course! He loved being the center of attention. He had a lot of people to hold him and play with him. He took pretty good naps and slept all night.

It was nice to get away and relax for a couple of days.
