Dear Ryder - 15 months

Just the facts, man ...

25 pounds, 11 ounces (87%)
32 3/4 inches (94%)
19 1/2 inch head (98%).



You love you some cows. Whether they are real or toys, you can't get enough. You still think they say "boo", but you say it with authority. You love riding on the Gator to feed them, and you insist on holding the flag. You get a little intimidated when Izzy gets to close, but you sure give her a tongue lashing.

You love riding Blue still, and have taken to standing up on the saddle with no hands. Mommy has photos of this, but does not like to encourage such reckless behavior. 


You would be outside 24/7 if you could, no matter how hot it is. You are really into dragging the hose around the yard and pretending to water the flowers with it. Needless to say I have not turned on the water for you yet.

Bath time has gotten a little wild, you are more into splashing and playing that you were before. The child who refuses to keep any kind of hat on his head insists on putting the bowl full of water on his head no less than 42 times during the bath. You are a hot mess Ryder Dean!

No one can mow the lawn without you screaming and banging on the door to get outside. The other day we were not mowing and just went outside to play and you took off running across the yard to the neighbors because they were mowing. I see a chore in your future.

You have almost mastered feeding the dogs. Oh sure you spill a little (!) but they manage to clean up after you.

You would rather sleep on daddy, but you are FINALLY sleeping through the night. You go to bed about 9 and on weekends you sleep until 8 am. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

You love to slide. You would like to go down it head first if mommy would let you.

You ALWAYS have something in your hand. Most of the time it is a spoon, but it could be anything from a hairbrush, a shoestring, a flip flop, a spatula, a cell phone ... Here you are trying to stow away in mommy's luggage for a business trip. 

You are now officially my Brown Eye Boy. 

You have discovered ice cream. You are a big fan.

You and daddy and Pistol Pete at the Fair.
