Ryder is 1 year old!!!

We can't believe it is July again! It doesn't seem possible that Ryder is a year old and that it was a year ago that we brought Ryder home from the hospital to the (extremely hot) rental house while we were building our new house. Although this past year has been hectic and full of change, we can't imagine our lives without our sweet baby Ryder! He is so precious and keeps us on our toes. His favorite things these days are eating anything/everything and walking holding Mom or Dad's fingers. He is so close to walking on his own, and then Hudson better watch out. He loves to do anything that his big brother is doing.

Happy Birthday Ryder!


He at the WHOLE cupcake and some ice cream too! When Hudson turned one, we had to force some icing into his mouth but he never would take a bite of his cupcake. Their personalities are SO different.


Aunt Terri made him a choo choo train birthday cake and cupcakes.


Don't worry, he has developed quite a sweet tooth in the last year and a half.


Painting on the porch with Grandma. They had SO much fun!


Hudson concentrating on keeping the colors in the lines.


And Ryder was concentrating on painting himself, his big brother, and Grandma!





Hudson is a pretty good eater when he wants to be. Proof that he does eat vegetables. He loves edamame.


Our little soccer player. He will kick this ball around for hours and he's pretty good too.
