Well Ryder is closer to 9 months at this point...seriously my blogging motivation is so low these days. I guess I'm enjoying being present in the moment instead of trying to capture it all in photos....or I would rather eat ice cream after the kids go to bed than blog...hmmm...I wonder which excuse holds more truth....
So back to my point of this post...our boy is 8 months old!!! I can hardly believe that we will be celebrating his 1st birthday soon. He is definitely growing and changing and we are blessed to enjoy every second of it.
Tricks: Ryder is starting to do a lot more imitating and picking up on different movements more quickly. He can now clap on demand, he's a pro at the downward dog pose, and apparently is practicing for the opera with his voice - he's a happy screamer. We also don't have to worry about his falling over anymore when he sits up. He's pretty good at going down slowly and rolling over on his hands and knees if he wants too.
Eating: Ryder is eating pretty much everything we are at this point. He seems to be less senstive to foods than Rilyn was. He is still quite picky although is starting to get that he eats what is placed in front of him or he goes hungry. He defiintely lets us know when he is not happy about his food choices. His favorite foods this month are probably bananas, black beans, crackers, and yogurt.
He is nursing between every 2 - 3 hours still but is way to distracted to eat for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sleeping: Ryder is sleeping through the night!!! He usually wakes up between 4:30 and 5:30 AM for a feeding. He will typically go back to sleep after that feeding but that is becoming less frequent.
Ryder really enjoys all sorts of toys and just can't wait to chase after his sister. He is really trying hard to move but just hasn't gotten it down yet. He also enjoys his jumparoo, being outside, and loves to splash in the bath. He's a fun little boy who makes our days wonderful!
