| He's standing by himself!!!!!! |
This week Rayler decided that he was quite big enough to begin standing on his own. Tyler and I caught him trying it out several times on Sunday. Then on Monday I watched him as he was playing with some toys. He picked one up and stood up. By himself! I've also seen him pull up, let go, squat down, pick up a toy and stand up again unassisted and remain standing. Wow. Why do I have the feeling that one day
very soon I am going to be trying to keep tabs on greased lightening?
Bugs has added two new words to his vocabulary also. "No" and "hungry". Well, "hungry" isn't really new, I just finally realized what he was saying. He's said "nahnah" for a couple of months now, and I just thought that he was calling his bottle "nahnah". Well, today he was fussing and saying "nahnah" and I asked him "Are you hungry?" He gave me an exasperated look and said "nuhnee". Did I ever feel dense. He's been saying "hungry" all along. Brilliant Mama.
Tyler celebrated his one year anniversary working full-time on the fire department this week. We went out to Gusano's with everyone from his shift. Have I ever mentioned that Bugs loves pizza? Well he does. He ate almost an entire slice by himself! Once Tyler was trying to get a bite for himself and Rayler grabbed the fork with both his hands and pulled it to his mouth instead. A while later I guess he got fed up with waiting for Tyler to feed him so he snatched the crust off his plate and started eating that. Silly boy.

| Having some crackers to hold him over until the pizza gets here |
 |
| Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
 |
| I trying to get a picture of him grabbing the fork but my camera wasn't fast enough. |

| It was waayyyy past his bedtime |

| Flirting with the young lady having sweet potatoes in the next booth. She had the most darling chubby cheeks! |
And he continues to climb... he was pretty frustrated here, but after I filmed this he climbed back up easily several times.
We went swimming a lot this week. The three of us went swimming at Grandma Linda's a couple of times and then on Saturday we had a birthday pool/barbecue party for Uncle Marcus, Great-Aunt Sherry and cousin Dylan. Rayler had a ball getting to swim so much! Now, I didn't see this happen, but Tyler said that Uncle Ray had Bugs standing on his legs and Rayler jumped off and out of Uncle Ray's hands! Tyler said he came up sputtering with the hugest grin on his ornery face. I swear he's got to be part fish! Then he got to go swimming again that night at Aunt Cassie's. What a long day that was!
 |
| Tyler and I didn't want to go swimming before lunch so we let Rayler play in his little pool while we waited |
 |
| He kept dipped the net into the water and then sucking the water out of it. |
 |
| Lunch! He wasn't so fond of the strawberry, but he loves beans! |
 |
| I tried to get all the birthday people in the picture, but didn't quite make it. Left to right, Dylan, Noah, Aunt Bree, Uncle Marc, Dada, Uncle Ray, Aunt Nette, Hannah and Madison, Aunt Sherry |
 |
| He was WORN OUT! He took a great nap in Grandma Linda's room. |
 |
| He had his first chip ever at Aunt Cassie's. A cheese puff. I think he liked it. |
He swam so much that day that he got a cute little farmers tan. I got fried. I am glad he got his Dada's complexion and not mine.
I've been working with Rayler on waving and clapping for quite a while now. He thinks it's hilarious when I make him clap or wave but he's had no interest in doing it himself. But out of the blue on Saturday as we were leaving Grandma Linda's he waved at Uncle Marc! And then again at Aunt Cassie's he waved as we were leaving. Of course, Dada missed it both times and I haven't been able to get him to wave again since. Little turkey.
I had some to-do list home projects that have needed to get done for oh, about a year, so I finally buckled down and did them this week. Rayler went to spend some time at Grandma Bobbie's on Thursday and Friday so I could work all day without stopping. I left my camera with them and it looks like he had some fun!

Grandma and Grandpa live within shouting distance of the great-grand's, Grandpa Lonnie and Grandma Roonie, so Rayler got to visit with them too. He
loved Grandma Roonie's dog Paco Patsy Anonda, aka Patsy. G. Bobbie said that he chased her around for a good ten minutes before she sent Aunt Lydia to get the camera and then soon after she started filming them playing, Patsy got tired and ran and hid.
 |
| He's got two teeth now! |
 |
| He's really started playing in his room this weekend. He'll sit here for about twenty minutes and play quietly. |
 |
| This is what happens when Momma can't get around to clean up. |
 |
| I'm so glad that he's FINALLY back into reading books! Even if the book is upside down.. |
 |
| Trying to climb onto the couch |
Here is some more random cuteness from this week.
 |
| Playing in his swing at Grandma Linda's |
 |
| I finally found his ball cap! Too bad he won't wear it. It took some doing to get these few pictures! |
