Post Competition Success!!

The Rife Rebels got 5th at our first CrossFit competition!!! I was dumbfounded when they told me, I was like "no we got tenth, no you're wrong" but we did so well towards the end that we shot up to 5th! The other teams from my box did amazing as well, Rife basically killed it! We're missing Georgi in this picture, not sure where she ran off to!

Ryker did so well at the competition. Vic watched football on the iPad while Ryker rolled around on the ground during events and I cuddled him as much as I could between events. 

He loves sitting up like a big boy. I almost packed his Bumbo to sit in but he was fine on his blanket on the ground. Once nap time came around I was just as tired as he was and got some shut eye with him for a few minutes. 

I'm so lucky to have such amazing people in my life! Vic was such a trooper, we had to be up at 5 am and weren't home until after 7 pm. He was so supportive and really helped me push myself. My team and everyone from Rife helped me get past my concerns about my abilities and I killed it! It was such a blast and I can't wait to compete again soon. 

On a baby update note, Ryker can pass his rattle from hand to hand now and repeat back hi! He's still a spit up champ and his high chair hasn't arrived yet so I haven't started solids yet but we have our baby spoons all set! Pumping at the competition yesterday was an interesting experience, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!! 

Happy Monday everyone, start your week off strong and make yourself proud!!

Halloween!!

Ryker dressed up as Woody for his first Halloween! My sister bought him a Woody and a Tigger outfit and I thought for sure they'd still be way too big sine he's such a little string bean. We tried it on him at the last minute and ta-da! Ryker is officially in 6 month clothes, the first time he's fit into clothes that coincide with his age. He's so long now, it's crazy. He also rolls in a million directions, loves sucking his thumb (or your thumb) and will have a conversation with you that generally consists of lots of "hi!" sounds. 

We're currently dealing with some new " wake up mom and dad in the middle if the night thing" that we are not loving. Totally back to zombie mode! Sometimes he just wants to be tucked back in and then he'll fall back asleep, but sometimes he gets stuck halfway rolled over and that one cracks me up. You just have to help him roll wherever he's going and he'll give you a look like "thanks, Mom!" SMS pass right out. It's so much fun having him be interactive and playing. It's crazy how much I love that little stinker!

This weekend I've got a 5 Star Family luncheon with Vic, we got nominated but I'm sure someone is going to beat us out for community involvement but it should be fun. I've got a baby shower tomorrow and the my first legit CrossFit competition on Sunday! I'm so pumped for Sunday, it's definitely going to be rough but it's a team event and I'm excited to compete with our lovely Rife Rebels!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!
