12 months {Ryder is the big 1!}

How did it happen, brother? How are you 1 year old? Fastest year of my life for sure. This month was huge for you! You are a walkin' boy now! You took 4 steps on August 8th and took off from there! You had your last night time nursing session on August 2nd. After we stopped nursing- it seems like you don't want to cuddle anymore. I hope that desire comes back. I miss your snuggles. You had a healthy month- thank goodness! We had so much fun celebrating you on you birthday! Lots of family and friends came o celebrate YOU! You are a blessing to us baby boy. You make us smile and laugh! I hope this next year is filled with big exciting things for you! 

11 months {Ryder}

This month was a little rough on you, Ryder man! You had issues with your arm, strep throat (rowdy did too!), and an allergic reaction to your antibiotic. This was from June 30th to July 31st. You celebrated your first 4th of July this month! You also attended your first VBS! You got to spend a lot of time with your cousins, Brooklyne and Addalyne! You sat in your first time out, for hitting rowdy.
