He is now able to fit into size 3 diapers. Luckily, he can still fit in size 2 for a little while longer since we still have several left, but SIZE THREE. That's the size of diapers that most one year olds fit in (the pound range is 16-28).

| No matter how hard we try, Ryder enjoys sucking on his hands. He has even mastered the skill of pulling on the pacifier ribbon so that the pacifier comes out of his mouth, making his mouth available for his hand. |

| Ryder is spending more time in his “Bumbo” – it helps him to sit up on his own! |

| Lastly, a picture of Ryder and myself in front of our NEW home (see more below). It isn’t super flattering, and you really can’t see Ryder – the wind gusted when Patrick took the picture so my eyes are closed, and Ryder turned his face toward me – but, you can see the house! |
Last week I said that we had listed our house for sale the middle of the previous week . . . well, it officially went "on the market" on 10/17, and Patrick and I signed the acceptance paperwork for an offer made on 10/22! Just FIVE days later!!! Patrick and I spent several hours on Saturday looking at houses, and have one that we REALLY like, and 2 others that we think would be okay. We have been negotiating back and forth this morning on the house we really like, and have made a preliminary offer that has been accepted (the Realtor for the developer is out of town). We meet with our Realtor, as well as the developer's Realtor on Thursday evening to make it official! Patrick and I have never been big on taking a long time to do something once we made the decision. And, this is no exception! I went from being worried that our house would take a long time to sell, and worrying about the timing of buying a new house, to having sold ours, and making an offer on another in less than two weeks. And, because I am REALLY excited about the possibility of getting this house . . . some fun information:
- It will be finished by 11/30 (perfect timing, since we become homeless at 12:01am on 12/14).
- It is 3,727 square feet. Only the main floor (it is a rambler) will be finished - 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. The basement will be completely unfinished - when we finish it (and, really, it will be several years from now), the designers planned it to be 1 bed, 1 bath, cold storage, and a HUGE HUGE family room. But, really, we could have 3 beds, 1 bath, cold storage, and still have a large family room.
So . . . those of you who I send this to that are in Utah, mark your calendars for the first two weekends of December (5th, 6th, 12, and 13th) as possible dates to help us move! And, note that it was to HELP US MOVE - not to just come over and hold Ryder. Really, we have a lot of stuff, and could use the help!
Finally, this is my last "part-time" week. I return to work full-time next week. Ryder seems to like his CC provider, and we know for sure that she enjoys him. As much as I have enjoyed being home with him, I'm okay going back to full-time. And, luckily for me, I still get to have Fridays off with him every week . . . so long as Governor Herbert doesn't decide to switch state employees back to 5-day work weeks.
