Ryker is Two!!!

Ryker is TWO!!!TWO?!?! I can't believe it! He is SO much fun and SUCH a handful haha. He has so much attitude, knows exactly what he wants, and is quiet stubborn. He LOVES animals! And is always making animal noises. He LOVES being outside..ALL THE TIME! It is so difficult to keep him inside. If he says something and I don't respond he says, "mom", "mom", "mom" until I acknowledge that he said something haha. If he get hurt he will cry and run to me or Kev. As soon as we acknowledge that he got hurt and ask if he is ok, he will say "Ya" and run off. He says "Ya" all the time..unless he understands what we are telling him and disagrees, then it is a very defiant "No". He loves to push things around, cars, his lawnmower, basically anything that can be pushed. He still loves his binky :/ He has gotten to the point where if he is tired he will ask to go 'night night' and ask for his binky for a nap - which is pretty awesome. He loves to help us do whatever we are doing. He loves to help do the dishes, will push the chair over to the counter next to us. Will also push the chair over to where we are cooking. Loves to help clean. If he sees that I am going to clean the bathrooms he will run and get a rag and ask to get it wet, to help out. He somehow knows what shoes to get out of the closet for us, without us even asking. He will set the shoes down next to us and say "Thank you" haha. If we leave a bowl on the table he will run, grab the bowl, bring it back to us and yell "ooh-oh". If I leave the front door unlocked he somehow always knows and makes a run for it. If he sees a food he is excited about he yells "oh-ohoh-oh". Kev taught him that and it is pretty dang cute and funny - especially when we see donuts at the store! He will also say "oh, ya, ynummy, wow, nummy" when he likes the food - which we love.

For his birthday we didn't do anything too special with Ava being so young. We took him to Chick-fil-A for lunch. Then that night my mom and Maddy came over for cake and played outside with Ryker. 

We gave Ryker a bike. He always gets so excited when he sees a bike. He's probably a little young for it but hopefully he will learn quickly :)

Kev tried to teach him and he kept saying "No" and getting off and pushing it haha
