Ryker's 9 month check-up

We went to a new pediatrician Dr. Gould for Ryker's 9 month check-up on 8/5. He was so GREAT with Ryker and took his time talking to us and answering every little question we had. I am so pleased that we switched, I could not ask for a kinder man.

Ryker's stats are-
Weight- 16 pounds 1 ounce: 3rd%
(Poor little Ryker keeps dropping in the weight percentages but it is just because he is getting so tall. He is going to be tall and skinny like his daddy. Plus the doctor is happy because he is on track to triple his birth weight by a year and that is the requirement.)
Length- 27 1/2 inches: 35th%
Head circumference- 17 1/2: 30th%

At 9 months Ryker interests are-
To roll around EVERYWHERE! That might be an understatement because I am wondering if he is ever going to crawl because he can get to where he wants and fast with rolling. He rolls to whatever room we are in to find us.
To laugh and giggle.
He loves to be roughed around by everyone. Some friends and family that have not been around us much probably think he are too ruff but he loves it.
To loves to talk (baby babbling). He is always jabbering about something. He can say dada and baba but I am still not sure if he knows what it means or if he just has the words down. I am pretty sure he says hi too.... is he ever going to say mama? (it breaks my heart that he doesn't yet but he is a daddy's boy)
To snuggle when he is tired but only when he is tired.
He is trying really hard to crawl but has not figured it out as of now so hopefully soon.
He loves to play with our cell phones, TV remote, Grandma's rings, daddy's watch, etc. He has great toys and a lot of them but he is more interested in stuff he should not be playing with....go figure.
Ryker sleeps through most of the night. He goes to bed at 8:30 p.m. and usually gets up around 4:00 to 5:00 a.m. to eat which only takes about 15 minutes to make the bottle and feed him, then he goes down til around 8:00 to 8:30 a.m when he is up for the day.
He is finally and I mean finally starting to like solid food. That has been quit the challenge with him but he is now interested and actually opening his mouth for food and grunting for more. THANK HEAVENS!
He loves to stand on his feet and RUN around with us holding him of course but we can hardly keep up because he literally goes 100 miles an hour (be scared for us once he figures out how to walk on his own because he does not take slow steps)

Ryker is such a happy baby that everyone comments us on it. He is always smiling and in a great mood. We have had people ask if he ever cries? and they also tell us if they had that happy of a baby they would have ten of them.

There is probably so much more things to name but I don't want this post to get too long.
Ryker is such a joy to have and is honestly loves more than you can imagine. We are exteremly blessed to have him as our son.

We love ya toota!

4 years old?

Dear Ryker, How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you! This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctl...

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
