Mr. Personality

Ryder keeps getting cuter, and is growing a larger then life personality with each passing day. So people say he looks like dad or is a mixture of both, but acts likes mom. I will take credit for any part of him because Kevin and I could not be prouder. So here are a few recent pics of our showboat himself.

He is laughing because I am trying to be funny to get him to sit long enough for a photo or two.

9 1/2 months!

With our buddy MJ

Lots of Drool....expecting another pearly white soon.

Did I mention he loves his momma?....until I refuse to hold him.

Playing with our friend Tara

We went to visit one of my bestest friends from high school, Maggie AKA "Chino" at her fabulous new house over the weekend.

And what did Ryder do????....besides vomit 2x...too excited about her dog.

Climb into the barstool and get stuck of course.

The probem solver he is found freedom.

With Chino

He laughed so hard at her dog "Chewey." He does not get this excited about his own dog, but really loves everyone elses dogs.

We had a nice little visit and headed home for naptime.

Tidbits

We have been quite busy with family time over the past 3 weeks. I have been so busy I have hardly photographed our visits. Sometimes I just want to enjoy it without capturing the best picture. Ryder is getting harder to photographer daily. He moves before I can grab the camera and capture the moment. Like the other day he was standing at the back door looking out the window with our dog doing the same. It was so cute. He also loves to ride Payton like a horse. Payton is not too big on this.

Overall, we are enjoying our summer and all the blessings of family and friends each visit brings.

We headed to Bloomington to my brothers to visit some cousins who were in town from NC and AL. It was a short trip, but we got to see all who were in town. It was nice to have extra hands for Ryder. The ladies even got a break to go watch a movie "Ugly Truth."

My parents with Ryder and Logan (hard to get them both to look at you)

Out to dinner with the Bowman Family

The cousins

Kevin and Jesse getting ready for a mad day of golf.

*Hope to add more pics others took later on

The many faces of R.T.T.

I had my little model pose for me on his actual 9 month birthday last week. He enjoys the camera most the time.

Serious....but so darn adorable

The Drooly Sloppy face look

Spirited....I am ready to play look-love this one

OK...sick of the photos mom....time to play

Innocent sweet baby look
