cell phone

I dont talk on my phone a lot around Ryder, mainly b/c he wont let me but, I guess he has seen me on it enough... we have like 10 videos like this of him walking around having little conversations. Its so cute! My favorite is how he pretends to answer. He gets distracted easliy too =)

Dancing or jumping?

This first video was from Easter this year. He LOVES him some veggie tales! He's in his diaper b/c we just finished coloring eggs... and he still looks like a baby and not such a kid =)

This second video Jeremiah took one night while I was at work. He loves to dance, or well, wiggle when american idol is on. OH he cracks me up.

Our conversations lately: (this one will happen within a minutes time... ALL day long)

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: a pillow

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: the letter A

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: A freckle

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: another freckle

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: mommys arm

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: Rain

Ry: WHOAHAH whats that mommy?

me: thunder

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: a piece of dirt

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: mommy's eye

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: ok Ryder bear, mommy is done with questions!. I tickle him we wrestle on the floor...seconds later

Ry: whats that mommy?

me: (looking at another freckle on my arm) Ryder, its a freckle.

I think he just likes to hear himself talk. Im convienced he really isnt paying attention. Or maybe his is, just has poor memory recall like his mommy. =)

lifes adventures

Sorry, its been a while. Haven't felt much like blogging lately. I posted most of the new pictures on facebook... I have a few new cute ones. Work has been good. I cant believe Ive been there almost a year. Its true what everyone said, "give it a year before you begin to feel a little more confident." I definately still have a ways to go but with "normal" Im doing great. Throw in some complicated stuff and I can handle it but it still throws me for a loop. With in the last week 2 friends of mine have had babies at work. One, a friend from a church we used to go to and the other a dear friend who is one of our L&D nurses (we started the same time) It was so much fun going through that with the last one. She called up there a few times during the night to talk to me b/c she wasnt sure she was in labor.... she was and now a beautiful miss Kaylie is here! Sorry, I dont have a picture of her. We went up to see her yesterday after church. Ryder was all about that baby. "hi baby, baby", "hi baby" was all he would say while he looked at her, and patted her and gave her kisses. It was adorable. Soon Ryder, Soon you will be a big brother... in like a year or so!

Ryder is growing so much these days. Its fun watching him learn things. Its even more fun watching and listening to him when he doesnt know that I am and listening to him regurgitate everthing Jeremiah and I say. Its hilarious!!!!! Although, sometimes I would really like to sit him on the patio and leave him for a while. He is definately turning into a 2 year old. We had our first in store throw himself flat on the floor screaming tantrum in Target yesterday. VERY embarassing. He is becomming more and more difficult to take places lately. Sit down??? Hold still?? Eat your dinner??? what does that mean. lots of "Ryder, No No's" happening. sigh, wears me out! But on a better note, the other day I was getting some diapers out of his room when all of a sudden he is hugging and patting my leg saying "wuve you" then runs out. Oh I almost cried. It was so sweet. He really is a fun kid!
