Aunt Ashley and Uncle Jake return!

Ashley and Jake came out for a week of skiing and visiting with their nephew. The picture here is a gift they brought with them. It provided hours of entertainment as they built towers for Ramsey to play godzilla and knock them down. He was screaming with excitement.
We all spent the night in the yurt at the ski resort, so Ashley and Jake could experience that and maximize their ski time. I think from the beginning of the week to the end the progress in learning how to ski had improved by leaps and bounds!(Correction: Jake improved by leaps and bounds. Ashley already knew how to ski.)

11 months old!

Our little boy is 11 months old already! Hard to believe it has almost been a year. He is getting pretty daring with his walking. He has started walking around the room more and more every day and will climb the stairs without hesitation. He loves emptying out all of our drawers now, too. You can see him in action here.

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!
