Ryder: 16 months

enjoying his new lawn mower



collecting rocks


He spotted some ants crawling on the steps.



Ryder has a "date" with his pediatrician next week, so we'll see then how much he has grown over the past few months. It amazes me how many new things he has started doing just over the past two weeks. Here are a few highlights:

  • climbing up EVERYTHING! (couches, coffee tables, and most recently--the kitchen table!)
  • walking on top of our dining room table's bench like it's a balance beam
  • opening kitchen drawers (not just the cupboards) and pulling out whatever is in reach (markers, notepads, Ziploc bags)
  • standing up in his high chair and trying to climb out
  • lifting his hands and saying "Go? or "Where go?" when he's looking for something
  • building towers as tall as he is with his Megablocks
  • snuggling with pillows--he LOVES to throw the couch pillows on the floor and lay on them
  • wrestling with Daddy--if Andrew gets down on the floor, it's "Game On"!
Some new favorite foods:
peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, black olives, yogurt, cereal bars, animal crackers

Clothing:
quickly outgrowing 18-month shirts; we will need to do some shopping soon!

*Ryder's first haircut (sniff, sniff) is scheduled for later this week, so hopefully he'll cooperate and I can get some good pictures!
