21 Months Old

Today is Ryder's 21 month birthday. He is officially 21 months old now. I cant believe how fast the time is flying by. Today he is spending his birthday with his Yaya at a nearby water park/play area. I'm sure I will have some pictures to post later.

About Ryder at 21 months:
He is such s sweet loving boy, but also loves to be a little rough. For example he will hit a toy or throw a car, and then a second later he will give kisses. It is quite funny to watch. I think most of his trouble comes from him not knowing his own strength. He is very strong. He still favors his left hand, but uses his right a lot as well. We think he is going to be left handed but we are still not sure. He loves all sorts of food except for weird textures like rice, etc. He also does not like to bite into anything cold. If he is having a Popsicle or ice we have to bite little pieces off and give it to him. He loves it that way. I would say his favorite things right now are his plugs which he calls "plooge", blankets which he calls "mink", his cars which come out sounding like "chares", all sorts of balls, bath time, the Cars, Shrek, and Ice Age movies, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Chuggington, most other Disney shows too. He loves listening and seeing cars, trucks and motorcycles...just like his daddy. He loves to be outside and especially playing with water. He has traveled to Colorado 4 times and Wisconsin 1 time already in his short life. He is quite the pro traveler now. He still takes 2 good naps a day, and sleeps 10 hours at night from 8pm to 6am. He loves his bed and loves going to bed. He usually asks to go "nighnigh", or when we say its time for "nighnigh kisses", he gets very happy.

He is such a joy to be around and to have in our life, we are very lucky to have him. We look forward to everyday because with Ryder everyday is a fun adventure.
