We cleaned him up and then put him in his high chair while we finished cooking dinner. Derrik and I both don't like peaches, but a fellow mommy (Thanks Megan!) told me to let Ryder suck on a whole peach and he'd love it... and he did! Definitely something to let him try again, but maybe outside next time... with a hose close by!
I still haven't really gotten a good picture of Ryder's teeth yet, but last night I was taking a little video to send to Ryder's grammy and he grabbed my phone and got an amazing shot of his teeth... Enjoy :)
When we got to the field it was starting to rain. We got stuck under an awning while walking to the stadium and had to wait for the storm to pass.
The storm finally passed and we made it into the stadium. We walked around and checked the stadium out. Derrik never gets to see this stadiums from my point of view. He kept wondering when the game was going to start because their was a rain delay, and I asked him how he felt not knowing anything! Now he knows how I feel when he never gives me any information when his games are in rain-delays!
"Mom, it's hot... where is this Pedro guy at?!"
There he is!
So there was a pretty good crowd there to see Martinez make his first start. I asked Derrik what he thought would happen: A. He would come out during the rain-delay and make some kids days and give out some autographs, or B. He would be a jerk and not sign any. Go figure! He did option B. He ran out of the locker room onto the field so he didn't have to even so much as acknowledge the fans lining the field looking for an autograph! I told Derrik is he ever makes it to the big leagues and thinks about being a jerk like this guy that it will not sit well with me! Needless to say... I was glad my boys enjoyed getting to see him, but I will NOT be a fan of someone who can't support fans that came out to support his come back. Enough complaining though... We had a great day and I love being with my boys so it was well worth it!

1st inning
This is God reminding me of yet another positive reason for this season being a rehab season for us!
Ryder LOVED when the crowd clapped.... he was clapping like a mad-man!
Still clapping during a rain-delay with Da-Da
After 1 2/3 innings the game was called. I've seen a lot of rain-delays in my day, but this was probably one of the worst.
What better to do when waiting for the rain to stop.... teeth on your thumb!
And we had a peaceful car ride home :)
Randomness #2: Baby PJ's! Not just baby pj's that fit the little man... I'm talking baby pj's that are actually sold in the newborn size that are also in the little man's size! LOVE THEM! These days Ryder is in a weird clothing size. A lot of the baby clothes only go through 12 months which he doesn't fit in anymore most of the time and the toddler sizes start at 2T which are still a little too big for him. The 18 month section seems to be pretty much non-existent in most stores so when I find something babyish that will still fit him it is a must to buy it up! Yesterday at Kohl's I found some baby Carter's pj's that I was admiring.... I always stroll through the little baby section still even though Ryder doesn't fit in it wishing he still would. Lucky for me the little pj's I was admiring also came in 12 months. Well Carter's onesies run extremely huge for some reason and the 9 month ones still fit him.... so I nabbed up the $17.00 12 month pj's knowing it was way too much for a pair of pj's, but smiling at the fact that my little man would be wearing "baby pj's" tonight. Well we got to the counter and they rang up at $9.99.... we will be going back to get the other two color patterns at some point this weekend. Ugh I love me some baby pj's!!! :)
Excuse the goofy face... he was all over the place last night and pictures were hard to get!
Randomness #3: Rude People!!! UGH!! Before you go on to read this know that I think how a baby is raised is his parents choice. Whatever your decisions may be I respect, but do NOT push your parenting views on me! ESPECIALLY if you are a stranger!!! So the other day Derrik, Ryder, and I are at Walmart doing some grocery shopping. Of course Ryder is smiling and putting on a show for every person that walks by which always leads to small talk with fellow shoppers. The other day we got an older gentleman who started this small talk. He asked how old Ryder was explaining that he had a baby grandson living out of the area and was trying to get an idea of what his grandson would look like at however many month it was that he was. He tells me how much hair he has (as if I didn't know), how he seems so alert, and how personable he seems. Then he did it.... he crossed the line!... In the middle of our friendly-small talk conversation he asks me if I've had Ryder vaccinated. We'll yes I have. He then shakes his head at me as if I was feeding my baby soda and junk food all the time and being an awful mother. I could feel like blood pressure rising and my cheeks getting red. He then proceeded to ask me how many times I've had him vaccinated, and I told him as many times as he was suppose to have been vaccinated (not that this was any of his business!). AGAIN I get the "your an awful mother" head shake. He then asks if I at least got the mercury-free vaccinations. No I did not... because I don't even know what that means exactly. Like I said... I respect every mothers choice to do as they believe healthy and safe for their child, but my choice is pro-vaccination. I am not a crazy health-studies buff and probably won't ever be so my feelings are that the government and schools have laws for a reason... they say to vaccinate... so I do. Anyhow... This rude gentleman then shakes his head at me one more time and says "Well... At least he looks healthy. You should look into that!" UGHHH The nerve of that guy! I was so shaken up the rest of our trip. People can be SOOO rude sometimes!!!
About to go to play in the kiddy area at the water park
This stuff is pretty cool Da-Da!
What is this stuff?!?!
Oh Yeah! I love it here!
Happy Boy.... Happy Parents
Realizing he can touch the water
Waving hi to Da-Da from the pool
Taking a little break... he loves watching the swim team practice in the lap pool
At this point he realized he could crawl around his whole big place... just went through everything and loved every second of it!
No Fear!
Realizing that Mommy and Daddy had left him to sit on the bench... two hours was enough for us!
Mom and Dad... Your the coolest!!!
