Bad Mommy!!

I am the worst lately! It has been two months since I posted on here - sorry Ridgers!! Mommy's slacking on your blog, but I'm swamped. Here's the updates on what you do:
*crawl at lightning speed
*pull to standing and go back down to sitting
*cruise on any and all furniture
*push your John Deere tractor and lion all around the room
*you love to pull on and play with wires!! Yikes! Coming out of the wall, computer, cell phones, etc.
*you say Dada, Bye-bye, Mama, Bubba
*You're pretty much getting over your pacifier these days, but still nurse to sleep at night time.
*You eat veggies, fruits, cereals, yogurt, snackies ('not a cheetos', yogurt melts, etc.) and chicken!
*At your 9-month check up you weighed 22 1/2 (80th %ile), were 29 1/2 inches (90th %ile) and your head circumference is at the 97%th percentile!! Big brains!! ;)

You are so much fun at this stage!! Mommy and Daddy love you so so much!

New tricks

Ridge is also crawling now!! and he is talking up a storm. He says 'Da-da-da-da'! So cute!

More Christmas...

And here's Ridger's first Christmas (part two)... So much more fun with a little one!

Baby's First Christmas

Here's pics from our first Christmas with Ridgers! Soo much fun!!

Two teethies!

Can you see them? There's two teeth there, but Ridge won't be still for me to get a good picture!

Chow time!

Not sure about these pears Mom!

6 Months

Ridge is now 6 months old. He weighed 19 lbs 13 0z (75th - 90th %ile) and was 29 inches long (90th %ile) at his 6-month check-up. He is sitting up independently, 'inch-worming', scooting when sitting up on his bottom, and doing lots of babbling and 'vocalizing' (a.k.a. screaming just to hear himself scream). Fun! ha! He's a really good eater - he eats rice cereal and fruit (banana or pear) in the morning and rice cereal and veggie (carrot, sweet potato or squash) in the evenings. We just added lunch this week (a veggie and a fruit). I am still making all his solids in the Beaba cooker -- if you don't have one, I highly recommend it. It's a breeze to make homemade baby food! Also, Ridge has his first tooth!! I found it on Thanksgiving day while we were still at the table. Exciting! I couldn't get a picture of it though -- he sticks his tongue out when I try to feel it and covers it up. I'll work on it though!

Eating my Baby Mum-Mum 'Cracker'. I love these!!
Cutie-patootie!

Eating an apple! Mmm mmm!

Snacking and hanging out in my Exersaucer!

So big!

Ridge is growing and changing so fast! He weighs 19 pounds now. He has started drinking apple juice/water mixture from a sippy cup. He's starting to creep a little at a time. And he grabs onto anything and everything in reach (as I type he's trying to clear this desk & put everything in his mouth!!) Still no teeth! Oh and he sits up like a charm now! Beth called me at work yesterday to say he sit up outside and watched the bigger kids play for 17 minutes!!
