Some updates on Ryder:

• You can now easily prop himself up into a sitting postion
  
• You can site up all by yourself
  
• You are currently waking up twice a night. Once at around 11:30 and once around 3:30 (that is the painful one). Mommy gets up to feed you and then you go back to sleep (most of the time)
  
• Your 2 top, front teeth are now coming in. Your mouth is like a fountain of slobber as a result
  
• You LOVE to walk! Mommy and I set a few feet apart from eachother and you walk back and forth between us. For the most part, you take a few steps and then collapse into our arms, but every now and then you'll get on a roll and walk the entire way. It shouldn't be long before you're walking on your own.
  
• You are a bruiser! You've taken a few spills resulting in you bumping your head or face and you are not even phased!
  
• Last night, I was giving you a bath and you reached for my nose. You grabbed on, hooking one of your fingers inside of my nostril and causing my nose to bleed. Thanks.
  
• You almost always greet us with a big smile when either mommy or me enters the room.
  
• You use a pacifier; when we put you to sleep, we give you your pacifier. If you are not ready to sleep you'll screw around in your crib, occassionally tossing your pacifier over the top onto the ground. We then have to come in and get it, as soon as you see us you crack that grin of yours....
