22 months

Ryder is the coolest little man right now.  We are having a ball with him and there's new stuff happening with him every day.

*He is talking up a storm, talking in full sentences.  We can understand ever single word he says, but I'm sure it sounds like jibberish to the majority of people.  We love asking him questions and hearing all his cute little words and answers.  My favorite is "I want more unny, Mommy", which is him asking for more honey on his oatmeal.  (I'm in my 'eating oatmeal every day' kick right now, so I'm hearing this one a LOT).
*He's also talking a lot about his pee and poop in his diaper, which seems promising that he's aware of the body functions.  I need to get through the holidays and his 2nd birthday and then I'll re-read the 3 day potty training book.
*Ryder boy still loves his cars and trucks, but he's also showing a big interest in trains and airplanes.  If it's got wheels or is a mode of transportation then he's excited about it.  We love reading books about cars, planes, & trains.
*We're still breastfeeding.  Going strong at 22 months and I really can't believe we've gone this long.  I thought I was ready to wean.  I decided that we were going to go cold turkey, but he would sob & cry.  It was breaking my heart and I realized I'm not ready yet and neither is he.  It's a comfort for him and I treasure those few moments we share each day.  I know it creeps some people out but I figure that's their problem, not mine.
*He's settled in an awesome routine with his afternoon nap.  We eat lunch, get the girls to school, and then back home for a little play time before he naps at 1pm.  He's been sleeping about 2 1/2 hours and it's a wonderful break for me while the girls are at school.  I L-O-V-E the crib tent.  That thing has been worth every penny of $75.  He sleeps so great and I do too :)
*Ryder boy loves pushing stuff around and his toy of choice is the pink stroller.  We walk it to the girls soccer practice and all over the cul-de-sac.  I love our little long haired boy in camo pants, pushing a pink stroller around town.  He's so awesome!
