Ryder at 9 Months: Our boy is growing and changing in so many ways. Ryder has the army crawl/inch worm down perfectly and gets around with speed these days. He has taken to solid foods very well and no longer prefers purees. Some of his favorites are Cheerios, yogurt melts, Ritz crackers, bananas, steamed carrots, and chicken noodle soup. He has begun "talking" a lot more and lets us know when he wants our attention. Alexis is his best friend. When he sees her come down the stairs in the morning he smiles and squeals with excitement. He still takes three solid naps a day and sleeps like a champ at night. He is well into 12 month clothing and some 18 month pajamas. I'm afraid that our baby boy is leaving a lot of "baby" behind.
