Ryder . 9 Weeks

9 weeks old, and weighing in at . . . drum roll, please . . . 14 pounds, 6 ounces.  He gained 3/4 of a pound this past week (which, I guess makes up for the lack of weight gain the previous week).
.
Ryder has mastered the task of getting his hand to his mouth to suck on.  He is doing much better at being able to soothe himself when he is upset, although, it doesn't always work for him. Yesterday, we put a Baby Einstein movie in, and he was completely mesmerized – he started crying as soon as it ended.

Ryder wearing the Kevin Harvick outfit Patrick bought at Christmas . . . whether we had a boy, or girl, they were bound to be a Harvick fan!

Between Ryder's shots on Thursday and being off schedule this weekend while celebrating Patrick's birthday with all the family, he has been a bit grumpier than usual.  Hopefully, we will get back into the normal routine this week!
