January

Our January in pictures:

  Ryker has started to dress himself. He won't let anyone help. He will change his shirts, pants, and socks about a million times a day. The 2 other pictures was when he was so proud of himself to have his work out clothes on, his work out shoes on and his headband - just like mom.

 Ryker is always trying to feed Ava. He fed her Mac n' cheese one time when I wasn't paying attention. Then I told him, she can't eat that. He said, "But mom, she likes it!" haha

 ah, snapchat :)

 Ryker has started to become obsessed with forts.

 Ryker wanted a picture

 Ava loves the Doggy Door. Ryker is sure to tell her all the time that its cold outside and that she has to have shoes on.

 Ava and Ryker were just laughing so hard when she was sharing her food....until Ryker accidentally bit her finger. They just love to be together.

 We love her squinty nose face

 Great Gandma Cook got them these cute, matching pjs for Christmas. Had to get a picture to document it, but they would not smile for me.

 We love our dogs.

 Our little circus haha walking 4 dogs and 2 kids :)

 Ryker climbed into Ava's bed after she woke up. They thought it was so cool

First time riding in the stroller like this

First time eating eggs, she warmed up to them after a while.

Something I don't want to forget: We switched to 9 am church. The first Sunday we went Ryker had SO MUCH energy! He kept yelling Hi to everyone bearing their testimony

Ava is 9 months old!

9 Months Old

Weight: 18 lbs 10.5 oz around 62 percentile

Height: 28 inches around 75 percentile

Ava had a nasty cold for most of the month. It was so sad. When she started feeling better and finally smiling and laughing I realized how much I missed her the last couple weeks! She still wasn't feeling all the way better when I took these pictures, you can tell it's not her happy self. She is crawling all over the place and is into everything! She is quite dramatic. She'll yell whenever she doesn't get exactly her way. She still likes to have her feet up on things, in the air. She loves tags, especially on her blankets when she is about to fall asleep.  Ryker and Ava just adore each other...when they aren't stealing each other's toys....Although Ryker has started wanting to control where she goes and what she does. Ava, nor I, are a fan of that. 

A good picture of Ryker.                     And a good picture of Ava
