There's those teeth!

What a week!

This little guy is now breaking more teeth through the top. Two have already broke the surface and it looks like there are two more coming! The teething process hasn't been too bad - there a couple nights of Ramsey waking up several times and one night of Scott staying up with him from 2:30am to 5:30am.

The other big news is that Ramsey can now walk across the room! This was a breakthrough day. He walked back and forth between us at least 20 times. See Scott's Facebook page for some videos.

Oink! Oink!

Ramsey can "Oink" like a pig! He loves anything that has to do with animals and tries to imitate all of their sounds. He can also make the sign for duck.

And we have a tooth!

The first tooth has finally begun to sprout from the bottom in the middle!

10 Months Old!

Ramsey turned 10 months old on the 15th. We had to take a trip to Cincinnati for his great-grandfather's funeral, who he regrettably did not get the chance to meet. That was the first time I've taken Ramsey on a trip by myself and he did very well. He got to see the whole Ratterman family and I'm waiting for some pics of that to put up.

Ramsey has begun imitating a lot. He can waive goodbye. He has starting playing peek-a-boo by covering his own face. He has also begun to get into everything - the toilet paper, the cabinets, the garbage - you name it. Things are starting to get interesting around here. And we're still waiting for that first tooth!

First Steps!

Ramsey has been working very hard at walking around while you hold his hands. Scott has also been working very hard at getting him to walk with holding only one hand. Tonight we let go and he took a couple little steps all by himself!

First Christmas!

Ramsey's first christmas was very fun. He got some trucks made out of recycled materials from his dad and some elmo slippers and a piano book from his mom. He got lots of other toys in the mail and many donations to the college fund. We think he had more fun with the paper and boxes than the actual gifts, but that was to be expected from a 9 month old.

After Skyping with Ramsey's grandparents, we took a family hike on the Bonneville shoreline trail. It was intended to be a snowshoe, but all the snow had melted. Then we joined some friends for dinner.
