7 months

I think this might be my favorite baby age.  Ryder has developed such a personality and every day we are seeing more of who he is going to be as a person.  He is so lovable, full of smiles, and LOTS of energy.  He weighs 17 lbs., is sitting up really well, can grab things like Cheerios & puff with the pincher grab.  (He seems very dexterous as I don't remember R&R grabbing tiny pieces of food at this age).  He is loving food and is eating a variety of baby food but seems most interested in what we're eating.  He is sleeping through the night, going to bed around 8:30pm and sleeping until 7am.  He has four teeth right now but I just saw two more this morning that are coming through.  So that will be two top teeth and four on the bottom.  No wonder he is a drool machine!  Mr. R is getting really good at crawling around the house, still kind of the army crawl where he drags his body but he is getting fast.  He's curious about everything and loves to get into our cabinets (if we forget to close them) and empty out the contents.  The favorite so far is the tupperware cabinets & my bathroom cabinet. 

I love this little man so much.  I can't enough of him and his little snugglebug personality.  Here are some photos I shot today for his 7 month birthday:
What a little stinker.  Look at that face!
HI!!!!!!!!
 Those blue eyes melt my heart. 
This is classic Ryder.

So Cute! That close up of him on the floor reminds me of some of the girls pictures. I had to laugh when you mentioned him getting into the cabinets already, maybe its a boy thing, remember the broken dishes courtesy of Zackary! haha, welcome to boys!
