Circus 2009

We took Ryder to the Circus last weekend and he had a blast! He was so enamered with all the bright colors and the petting zoo. He loved the billy goat ;)

Ryder's 1 year checkup

Ryder's checkup was today and I have to say, it was quite different than what I am used to. With Ryder, that is. He freaked out when they weighed him and when the doctor came in to do his exam. Then, when I held him after, he settled down. When the nurse came back in to give him his shots he screamed bloody murder! He has never so much as made a peep let alone screamed and cried like that before. He is definitely in the stage of attachment to mommy :).....

Ryder is the big ONE!!!

I can't believe my baby is already one. Time certainly does fly by. We have been so busy. We have slowly been remodeling our kitchen. I painted the walls and cabinets; put new hardware on the cabinets. Ryder's birthday was getting close and I wanted to put the new floors and countertops in. We had to wait for our tax return, but we got it a week before his birthday, so we were in a mad rush to get things situated before his big party. Everything looks awesome thanks to my dad. He is a pro when it comes to renovating a house. Next on our list is the bathroom. Yay...
Ryder's party was a huge success. Although, when it came to smashing his cake, he wasn't as into it as I thought he would be. We had to get him started on it and then he got a bit of stage fright because everyone was staring at him. He got some really awesome gifts! Uncle Kemp got him his first Harley. Gimpaw was a little disappointed because he wanted to be the first to give him a Harley!! However, Gimpaw and Gigi did get him a car that plays music when you toot the horn which he loves! He also got a Dallas Stars jersey that says White #10 on the back, which was Braiden's number in High School. I thought that was so awesome and super cute.
















I take Ryder to the doctor tomorrow morning for his one year checkup and shots, so I will have his stats soon. He is my little big man. He is growing like a weed and I can't believe it, but I absolutely love every minute of it.
