The first tooth has finally poked through the bottom gumline. This confirms my suspicions from this weekends crabbiness. Ryder is back to his smiley self and laughing more daily. I just love it! I do not have a good pic of the tooth. It barely shows and he gets angry when I try too get a peek. One down.
What an Angel
Ryder is stiitng up with assistance now. He can sit indepedently at times, but easliy topples over.
He is doing a half crawl. I need to get a video of this. He scoots backwards and sideways. It is so funny. I leave the room and he will move 3 feet. I think he will be fully crawling by May. It is time to start safety proofing the house. Did I mention he hardly sits still. He flipped over in his swing the other day while I was in the room. He was face down. Can you imagine that? I quickly intervened. I never leave him unbuckled when I leave his sight.
Sleep is going well. Most nights he sleeps 8 to 10 hours. We have departed from swaddling in the past week. What a big boy!
Ryder is getting adjusted to me leaving him twice a week. He loves spending time with his daddy one day a week, and then loves the kids at day care the other day. I am also enjoying being back at work around adults and very defiant children. It is actually a good break at times to be at work.
I have started giving Ryder rice cereal for dinner this week everynight. He likes it ok mixed with mommy's milk. I tried to feed him cereal last month a couple times, but felt he was not ready. So we are officially starting now. What a messy piggy he is. I will introduce oatmeal cereal on Sunday and see if he likes that.
As you can see, Ryder is doing fantastic and growing rapidly. He will turn 6 months at the end of April. How times flies!
