2 year old appointment

On Friday, we had Ryder's 2 year old appointment.  It's hard to believe once again that he's two years old!  

From what the Dr. saw Ryder looks like a healthy little two year old boy!  He is in the 90th %tile for height & 40th %tile for weight.  She didn't seem to be too worried about his weight being sorda low because he is so active!  She didn't even have to ask if his vocabulary included 50 words because so talkative when she walked in the room!  He seriously wouldn't be quiet!  She then said he has the vocabulary of a 3 year old!  

I was so happy to hear I had a healthy lil boy!  He got the flu mist, tested for anemia & his last round of a certain shot.  He didn't cry the whole time they were squeezing blood out of his finger, but he cried when they put the band aid on!  Ha!  & he cried for half a second when he got his shot, but I told him we were going to Chick-i-tah & he was fine!  =)

I make it a point every day to say thank you for my son's health.  There are so many little kids out there dealing with things that adults, much less kids shouldn't ever have to deal with.  We have been so blessed by Ryder's help & I don't want to take it for granted for even half a second.

1 Year Checkup

I cannot believe that it is the FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER!  Where did the summer go?  Where did the first few months of school go?  Next it will be November, and then December!  Time flies so fast!

We had Punkin's 1 year check up today & FOUR shots.  That's the MOST he's ever had at once...& one was the flu shot.  I was glad they asked me if I wanted him to have it...reminds me I need to go get one soon.  I never had one until I went to college, and I've tried to get one every year since.

Weight:  22 lbs.  (Only gained 2 lbs. since June) 50%tile

Length:  31 inch. 75%tile

BIGGO head...don't remember how big!  :P

He was so good in our room waiting!  He pulled out all the books in the basket...he LOVES books!  He'll flip through every page!  It's adorable!  Then he pushed the Dr. chair around, & around...& AROUND!   (I know it's gross he's barefoot in there, but I didn't want him to slip & fall in his socks, & I knew as soon as I put the socks & shoes on, the Dr. would come in, & I'd have to take them all off again to put his pants back on .  PHEW)

Everything looked great, & apparently he loved the tasty stick!  :P  My poor baby was NOT happy with the nurses when they stuck him, & then stuck him AGAIN.  I've never seen his face SO red, & I actually got tears from listening to him scream for the first time at the Dr.  :/

Uncle G came to visit this afternoon before he headed to NLR for the big Wampus Cat game!  They are actually good this year...its.about.dang.time!!  Ryder was in his Wampus Cat blue too, so I had to get a pic!  :P

WE LOVE UNCLE G!

Stay tune the next couple of days...you're in for a BIG surprise!  :P

Father's Day Weekend & 9 Month Appointment

We went to the river on Sunday for Father's day...everybody was there except for Ryder-Man who was with his daddy!  It's sad that with Ryder wasn't there, so I didn't take near as many pictures!  I had to get one of me and Dev because we were wearing the EXACT same thing!  It made me feel so fashionable that a 14 year old was wearing it!  =)

Yesterday was Ryder's 9 month check up and he was just such a happy boy in the waiting room!  He was laughing SO much!  I am so thankful that he is such a happy little boy!  =) 

Weight-20 lbs. (50th %tile)

Length-28 3/4 in. (60th %tile)

Head circumference-? (55th %tile)

Look @ those chunky lil hands....he was cracking himself UP!  HA!

After his one shot, and finger prick for anemia.  He did SOO good I was so proud of him!  As long as he has his Mommy, Pooh & Paci, we are GOOD-TO-GO!

After his appointment Mom took him to Pangburn to see Nana & Papaw again & some family members that were in from Florida that didn't get to see him on Sunday.  They had a good time & Mom said Ryder just followed her around the whole house!

While they were gone, I caught up on some shows and worked on my essay a little more that was due today.  I have my second rough draft due Thursday, and I haven't even started.  Summer classes sure do fly by...well sorda!  HA!  Only 3 more weeks!

Today was a chill day...probably should have worked on my paper a bit, but that didn't happen.  I just had a fun day playing with Ryder-Man!  I missed him last night!!  He has started to clap his hands on his own, and will keep clapping when you "play" Patty Cake!

Tonight I went shopping with Kelly to get some goodies for Charle's birthday!  Boy, is he gonna have a good birthday!  I'm glad Kelly asked me to go with her...we got some GOOD stuff!  =)
