It's crazy that Ryker has been out of me as long as I knew he was in there haha He is so much fun. He is talking all the time. Well actually, his new thing is to yell as loud and as high as he possibly can. A couple of days ago, it was pretty cute...now, it's just really loud haha. He crawls all over, stands up holding on to everything. He loves standing and crawling around the table - causing lots of bumps and bruises. He and Mozzie are pretty cute, they have started playing quite a bit. Still not sure if Mozzie likes Ryker, but she sure makes him smile and laugh. Ryker has officially tasted Dog food, luckily I got it before he swallowed it. But now, he thinks it is super funny to crawl to the dog food in our room. He will start crawling there, stop and look back at me, smile extremely big, and crawl as fast as him can, then stop and look back at me, smile extremely big, and start crawling again haha he laughs really hard. It is SO CUTE! He likes to eat everything and is never full! I never know how much to feed him, because he never gives signs of being full. He loves to laugh, especially if everyone else is laughing. If Kev or I are in the kitchen, Ryker has to be in there. He will pull on our clothes, our skin until we hold him. I don't know what it is about the kitchen - he must know it's where the food comes from. He is very social at church. He will smile and play with whoever is sitting behind us at church. I really hope he has Kevin's outgoing personality. I'm so excited to continue to watch him grow and learn.









This is his 'Yelling' face, that we now see all the time.











 Super Dad!

 We got these as a wedding present, they are finally getting put to good use!
 These pictures have nothing to do with Ryker but Danielle and I did a baby shower for a girl we visit teach. The theme was Noah and the Ark. It turned out pretty good.


 It's a dark picture, but so cute!

 Ryker was fascinated with what Kev was doing to Mozzie.


 He looks so old!













So, I was pretending to tickle him. Every time I would get close he would scream super high and loud, it was so funny! So I wanted to get it on camera, but instead he does a fake little yell. I don't even know if you can hear him because we are laughing so hard. Oh and ignore my sideburns :/ don't know where those came from.

I forgot to write this earlier. Ryker is not scared of big dogs. We went a house to help them put some furniture together. They had a big Pitt Bull/German Shepherd mix. I put Ryker on the ground and Ryker went straight to the dog, trying to pet him. The dog was great with Ryker, but it was so funny how much he LOVED the dog.

Kevin, the almost CPA!



Kev passed all four of his CPA tests! I'm so proud of him and so so so excited to have those done with! Yes, I know, Kev was the one studying and taking the tests. He has been working so hard! But it is so nice to have Kev with us when he is done working, instead of having to study. He is AWESOME! So grateful for him and his hard work!

8 Months Old

Well Ryker turned 8 months old...a month ago (I got a little behind)

















He is moving all the time! making taking pictures hard :)




 He loved playing in his carseat
 He loves his bath! It is so funny, the second he hears the bath water going, he crawls as fast as he can to the bathroom. Then once he is in the bath he gets water everywhere!



This is from outside. He loves looking out. He also loves squishing his face into the window, I just haven't gotten the picture yet.









Doesn't he look so relaxed in the right picture? He still loves Mozzie's leash - probably more than his toys.
 So Ryker is absolutely terrified of the vacuum. He screams till he is held, and then when he is held, he just shakes. (It's kind of funny). But he is brave enough to crawl past the vacuum to me, to get held haha. This picture cracks me up, the vacuum wasn't moving but he still wanted to check on it while he was crawling past it.
