Ryder: 17 months

So I've been Lazy (with a huge capital L!) when it comes to blogging lately. I chalk it up to the combination of chasing a toddler around, being pregnant, and approaching the end of the school year. It's definitely not due to Ryder not giving me enough material to write about! :) I'm going to do my best to remember all of the new things he's doing/saying and put it all in this one post.  Here goes!

A dictionary of Ryder's frequently-used words:
Arr! Arr! = dog barking
Booooo = Mooooo (when he sees the picture of a cow)
Chee = cheese
Cuh = cup
Daddy = doggy
Daddy-O = Daddy
Go! = the action of leaving; any vehicle within sight
Gul = gulp (when the dogs drink water from their bowl)
Hi!
Momma :) :)
Qua Qua = duck quacking
She = shoe
Tee = tree
Too Too = bird chirping
Weee! = when he spins in circles or sees something fast
Weh = wet (if he sees water on the floor or puddles outside)

Favorite foods:
cheese, yogurt, bananas, applesauce, spaghetti, rice and beans, black olives, and anything he sees Mommy and Daddy eating

Likes:
jumping on trampolines, pretending to sneeze, climbing anything and everything, playing outside, sweeping with a broom, cuddling with blankets and stuffed animals, reading books, doing "cheers" with our cups at dinner

Dislikes:
being told "no", going inside, sitting in his high chair too long

Developments:
  • points to his head, ears, nose, eyes, mouth, toes, tummy, and belly button
  • points to Daddy, Mommy, and Ryder if we ask "Where's _______?"
  • finds shoes and brings them to us; it doesn't matter if we're already wearing some or if they "coordinate" with our clothes  ("Yes, Mommy, these dressy black sandals look perfect with your t-shirt and pajama pants!")
  • covers his eyes with his hands and then pulls them away and says, "Boo!"

Our hydrangeas are beautiful this year!

Waiting patiently... 

to stomp on and blow out the bubbles!
