A busy May

So we had a busy May. Full of work and play.

We celebrated my 35th birthday at the zoo. No better place to be with a bunch of kids.

My friend Carissa met us there from Peoria and helped make the day perfect. The kids did great. We even went out for pizza afterwards. It was one of my best birthdays to memory.

Hudson the polar bear was right on the other side of the glass. He kept staring at my kids. I think he wanted to eat them.

Wy loved the water bottle. He guzzled a bunch of water. Good thing it was 100 that day.

8 months

Yes my delicious little nugget munch is getting bigger. ALso my camera sucks!

He has been active in the last month.

Lets see...

He crawls quickly everywhere from room to room getting into dog bowls, cords you name it!

He loves to eat cheerios and puffs by himself.

He eats 2 and 3 gerber foods (tried making my own but no time for this)

Still loving his momma's milk, but gets some formula when I go to work if needed.

Growls and makes the funniest noises.

Loves chasing Ryder and slobering all over his toys.

No teeth yet!

Still gets up at least once a night, sometimes twice.

Coos and babbles in the most angelic voice.

Says momma and dadda.

This week repeated momma many times.

Cruises and stands all the time.

Loves attention and smiles.

Hugs me tight when he first sees me.

Has a strong pair of lungs.

Is healthy and regular with BM's

Pretty sociable.

Takes 2 good naps daily.

Goes to bed between 7pm-7:30pm nightly.

Likes his NAM paci.

Loves his momma more than anything in the world right now, but is slowly growing his love for daddy.

We went to Grandma Thurston's for Easter Sunday after church. Ryder had a blast decorating eggs, opening his baskets, and playing with his dady and Uncle Brian. He was worn out afterwards. Wyatt refused to nap all but a half hour too.
