Ryder . 20 Weeks

20 weeks; 18 pounds, 6 ounces. 

 .

No "big" developments this past week, although the tongue fascination continues - he has started sticking it out when he coughs, which, typically then makes him laugh, or at least smile.

 .

We are letting him wear all of his 3-6 month clothes one more time (there are about 10 onesies left to wear) before putting them in a storage bin.  He is officially in the 6-9 month size, and is just about able to wear 9-12 month.

A big smile, while playing.

Ryder loves to practice his standing skills.  Here he is, with Patrick.

Ryder does not like the thought of getting packed in a box, like all of our things!  He was okay with it at first, but he quickly realized he didn't like it.

Practicing sitting up.  It doesn't last long, though.  I can get one or two shots, and then I have to catch him.

Spending some time on his stomach.  He likes it best when we get on the floor and play with him.

Ryder is not a fan of Patrick and I packing/getting the house ready - he wants our constant attention.  Last night, we put him in the carrier while Patrick took down the shelving brackets.  He was very interested in the drill!  Hopefully, he will learn handyman skills from Patrick!

As I type this email, Patrick (and his dad, Jim) are at the new house with the Contractor/Superintendent doing the final walk through.  We have compiled quite a punch list of things needing repair, and hopefully, all will be well received!  We are moving in just 6 days - the next time the weekly Ryder email is sent, we will be in our new home!  We have a lot of work ahead of us this next week, but it will be worth it!
