A few bits of info on Ryder:

• You have begun blowing "raspberries". They generate a ton of drool.
  
• You have begun to play in Zoes playroom. Your favorite activity is opening and closing the doors to her kitchen play set ovens.
  
• In addition to the fact that you can walk, you've also begun to crawl. You are officially mobile. Much to moms chagrin.
  
• Mom took you to the doctor for your 9 month checkup last week. You were 20.3 pounds and 27 inches tall.
  
• This morning, you and Zoe got in your first fight! Mom left you and Zoe in the playroom for a moment. She heard a thump and then you crying. She investigated and Zoe confessed to pushing you down. She got sent to her room for a while.
  
• Zoe and Ryder saw their 1st snow a few weekends ago. We got a few inches and went out and played in it. Here are Zoe and Mom having a snowball fight:
