On August 7th, Ryder turned 3! He is still a fun, energetic, smart, and kind boy. We have so much fun being around him and still makes us laugh constantly.
Ryder loves all things Spiderman. He also likes other superheroes, but calls all the other mean guys. He sleeps with a Spiderman, Ninja Turtle, Captain Hook, and Batman figurine, as well as a teddy bear, his bible, and a stuffed penguin. He likes little toys and is gaining quite a few collections (mini trains, mini superheroes, and mini airplanes). He sets them all up on the table and just stares at them.
He loves board games, puzzles, and books. He will sit and listen to stories for as long as I have to read them and he likes to look at books independently. He loves preschool with mommy, and asks to do preschool every day. He really just loves learning, which brings lots of happiness to this teacher mama's heart.
He will play outside for hours, and this summer has become very proficient on his balance bike. He loves to ride his bike, swing, and jump on the trampoline. He loves water and has no fear when it comes to any body of water. He likes being on Papa's boat, and playing with all his cousins.
Him and Rilyn play pretend really well together and they come up with some great games. They really are best friends, and I love their relationship. I know it's going to probably change as they get older, but right now I am just loving watching them play, learn, and grow together. Sawyer and him like to wrestle and fight over toys. Sawyer picks on Ryder quite a bit and really likes the toys he is playing with so we get lots of brotherly love happening on here right now.
In general, Ryder is a pretty good eater. He is usually willing to try everything, at least one bite. He loves Mac and Cheese and Pizza. He still hates potatoes but just recently started eating french fries as long as they are covered in some sort of dip. His favorite vegetable is red peppers, and blueberries are his favorite fruit. He thinks he loves chocolate but seriously any dessert will do!
His sleep has been a little inconsistent this year, as he has started giving up naps. We usually have a the older two in bed between 7:30 and 8:00. When he does nap, he typically doesn't fall asleep until at least 9 sometimes 10...yikes. He does lay in bed and look at books or play with his mean guys, but I'm asleep before that usually! If he doesn't nap he falls right to sleep. Either way, he is usually up by 6:30. He could go without a nap, but we (Tyler and I) are definitely not there!
His 3 year check-up went great and he is a healthy 3 year old. He is in the 75% for both height and weight and is meeting all the developmental milestones for his age.
Ryder is a big goof ball and full of energy. He loves making people laugh and just enjoys life to the fullest. He even still snuggles his mama a lot! We are so blessed he is ours!
This is his 3 year old birthday interview. It was a lot of fun and I did video tape it, but Sawyer was shrieking through most of it so not that fun to listen too!

This boy is mini Ryan! First of all the nap picture? Ryan sleeps on his side with his hand in his knees JUST like Ryder. Omg so sweet. And also in the questionnaire, "What are you really good at?" Ryan would also answer getting presents ;) These two are two peas in a pod.
