I can't believe it has been over a month since my last blog! So much has happened in our lives. The hotel was sold and my hubby lost his job as well. We ended up moving in with my parents and Ryker has just grown immensely. It has been around yet exciting month. Every time I look into that little boy's face I know we made correct decisions for him despite having to move.
So it is a time of thankfulness in our hearts for having this little guy. We enter this Christmas with a different spirit than we've had in the past because it is not about gifts, but about the time we get to spend together and the love we have.
Ryker's walking has blossomed since we moved. The day before the big move he had his 9 month doctor's appointment. He was 18 lbs, 30 inches tall, and had a big head! He passed all the milestones with flying colors! That day he walked for the doctor holding my hand, by night fall he was walking 10 - 12 steps unassisted. What a strong child!
The next morning we packed up the U-haul and headed from Dixville Notch to our new home with my parents. This is only temporary. Within a days time Ryker began to walk more and more without assistance. By Monday afternoon, he was going from room to room alone. Today he can walk the entire length of the house without falling if he is not running or carrying something.
That is the other achievement! He can lift heavy objects with a single hand! Okay he isn't Superman, but he's carrying a plastic dump truck that is about 12" long and 6" high from one room to another! He is like his granddad - strong as an ox!
So here we are enjoying each other's company (maybe too much) as we approach Christmas. Ryker's first and our 6th. Merry Christmas!
