So, needless to say I have been extremely busy and have neglected my blogging. This is my attempt to catch up 2 months + late. Luckily, I did manage to fill out Ryker's baby book so I have record of everything (well almost, things change and personality develops so quickly in babies that it is hard to get everything).
Went to doctor for check-up. Everything was great. Ryker weighed 20lbs 14oz and was 29 3/4 inches.
Ryker still loves to play. He will throw the ball to us (although it lands everywhere but where we are) and he likes for us to throw it back. He likes for us to push him on his car in the house. He continues to bang on everything.
Ryker's 9th month was pretty huge. He began crawling at about 8 months 3 weeks. We were completely ecstatic. I have tons of video and pics. He started out moving a little and in one day he was all over the house. The first thing he went for were the power outlets so we baby proofed the next week. He finally started saying mama however it is few and far between. What a good feeling it is to hear him say it (I only got beat out by Dulci and Dada but whose complaining). We also moved Ryker into his new big boy carseat.

We introduced formula into Ryker's diet when he turned 8 month so the day he turned 9 months I was the last day I nursed him (1-19-11). It is both sad and happy for me. I feel very proud that I was able to nurse him for 9 months because that was my goal however I am sad we will not have that special time anymore. He adjusted well. He seems to like the formula and he is able to look around a little more with a bottle. The convenience of bottle feeding is nice especially in public. Ryker has also started picking up food with his fingers which is super cute to watch. We have given him mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, shredded cheese, and almost all the baby foods available for his age. He loves puffs. He didn't like mashed potatoes at first but now he loves them.
The past month was huge for holidays with Christmas and New Year's. I posted about his Christmas which was excellent already. We spent NY day at home. Mommy cooked and Allison (Cookie) came over to eat with us.
This month's book was There's a Wocket in my Pocket:)
