few random things...our weekend & 7 months!

So...I noticed this picture the other day around the house of me and Garrett. I thought to myself "oh my goodness!...who does that LOOK LIKE?" So I snagged the picture up and took a few pictures of it to show you guys! Mom actually made these matching Easter how fits! It had to have taken alot of time and hard effort! The picture of me and Garrett isn't so blurry....I couldn't get a good close up of G. I don't know how old he was here...but he sure does look like Ryder man..or well, Ryder man looks like him!


Garret...lookin' just like Ryder!

Aww...YES-we love each other! =)

Friday night it was B-E-A-Utiful out...so we went to the baseball game, and had a blast as always! (This was BEFORE we knew Ryder was sick! :/) He did great, once again...he just loves being outside with all the sweet mamas!


It got to be a lil chilly...haha!

Pops and Ryder man enjoying the pretty weather outside!

Ryder and his Uncle G...before going out for the night!


7 month stuff....

I can't get the child to be still...so this is as good as it got! ha!

Not wanting to sit still for a pic...crawling all over the place!

None of these are the best either...but @ least he's smiling in this one!


My crazy SWEET boy!

What you're up to this month....
-You are now definitely crawling...every where!
-You are even pulling up on things, such as your crib rail, trashcans, fireplace, barstools, rubbermaid tubs, your car seat....etc.
-You are just talking talking all the time! I'll talk back to you in your voice, and you'll respond! TOO funny!
-You love the church nursery! It's about your morning nap time, but of course you don't sleep!
-Size 2 diapers...but could move up to 3's.
-Can wear 9-12 month clothes, but some 6 month clothes still fit.
-Still eating three solid meals a day, with sometimes a bottle in between.
-You crawl to your Pops & KeeKee every day when they walk in the door!
-Not really into your exer-saucer any more. Too boring I guess when you're mobil!
-You had your first "throw-up" sickness... :(
-You like to take naps with your mommy....or mommy likes to take naps with YOU!
-Sometimes your falling asleep on your back now.
-You JUST figured out how to roll from your back to your stomach the last few days.
-Definitely knows what "No No" means. I have to tell you that when you play with the cords and pull on KeeKee's curtains!
-We went through your first big/moppy carwash today, and you did GREAT!
-You took a "big boy" bath for the first time tonight
-You sit in a highchair whenever we go out to eat now.
-Your eating puffs, bread, tortillas, and sometimes rice.

...sickly

Ryder turned 7 months old yesterday, but that post is going to be post-poned for a few days.

The last 4-5 days Punkin' has had runny poop (instead of solid, which it was ALL the time) & wasn't eating all his meals, baby food or bottle. I was a little worried, but he not too much because he was acting perfectly normal, and playing and laughing & having a good time!

Until Friday...when I went to pick him up from Ms. Lynn's after class, he didn't have a shirt on! OH MY..WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? He had woken up from his nap and thrown up all over his shirt, pooh blanket, blanket, bib, everything! Poor baby...once again, I didn't think THAT much about it, just thought maybe he had eaten too much or something. Ms. Lynn said he just wasn't acting his normal self...and after a while I seemed to agree.

I drug the poor child to Hobby Lobby and finally back home. He took a great afternoon nap, and then we went to the baseball game at five. He was a trooper the whole time! He ate a bottle and a jar of baby food. By 8:30 he was more than worn out and we came home and he went straight to bed.

Around midnight, I hear him kinda cough...and then the dreaded sound of throwing up. OMG. Not my baby! YES...MY BABY!

He threw up 2 more times between then & 4 am, and finally crashed when there was nothing else to throw up. Poor baby...he seems to be doing so much better this morning. I have been hesitant to give him anything to eat, but I know he is STAAAARRVVVING! His stomach just growled and growled this morning!

Well see how the next 12 hours go...but man! WHAT A MESS!

Pre Easter...Easter...& MORE!

It all started last Thursday when Pooh was headed home from school because they were out of school for Good Friday. She decided to stay the night with us! =) So glad she did! Her & lil man got some good bonding time in, and we even went to Target & let him pick out a toy that she bought him! First of many I'm afraid!


With Auntie Pooh!

That night we went and ate dinner at the Magee's. Charles was also in town with Kelly...and we also got to see Molly! Ms. Donna always cooks something good and we had great fellowship!


Ryder & Charles at dinner.

After dinner we came back here to dye some Easter eggs!


Pre-Egg Dying in Pop's Wampus Cat hat!

"Get that off my head!"

His first egg was green of course...he wanted THAT egg! Ha! He went right to sleep after this!

Kelly, Pooh & me dying some eggs!

Mommy had to get up and go to class the next day (not off for Good Friday @ UCA..no sirr-ee!) Pooh was trying to sleep, and of course lil man woke her up...but she didn't seem to mind! HA!


Chillin' with Pooh....& Tang (the monkey)

Saturday afternoon, after Ryder slept till eleven....yes ELEVEN! We went over to Anna's parent's house for a delicious lunch. Ms. Kelly is quite the cook! We were there for like 4 hours, just catching up and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather!


Ms. Kelly let Ryder try a lime for the first time!

...guess he liked it!

He was all over the place...and would not stay still!

Laughin' @ Auntie Anna!

Playing w/ AA!

Ryder, me & Anna!

Sunday morning, we got up and went to the EARLY service, and then came home to get ready to go to Nana & Papaw's in Pangburn.


Punkin's Easter outfit that KeeKee got him!

We found Miss Morgan @ church!

& Coach Mac...he loved your "golfer" outfit!

Me & my lil man...even though he's not looking @ the camera!

Punkin' getting the stuff out of his Easter basket!

He dug right in...no holding back for him! He knew what to do!

He got some really cool bubbles-

...& a few sesame street characters that we knew he would chew on!

more books! & an ELMO DVD!

We let him crawl around and "find" some eggs!

He wanted to hold them all...but he just couldn't! We call him "Gimme Hands!"

This is a caterpillar shaped egg...we had lots of other bugs to thanks to Aunt Linda Sue!

Yes...he is about to put that in his bucket!...

TA-DA! He is so advanced! lol...just kidding! But no...REALLY!?


This are just a few randoms from today...

He tumped the trashcan over, and then pulled up on top of it!

I let him try puffs for the first time, since he seems to handle little breads crumbs fine.

A few actually made it in his mouth...the rest he kept clinched in his fist & THEN they became soggy!

Crazy lil punkin! =)
