Run down of our milestones from last week

Tuesday 2/16/10- Ryker decided he was a big boy and brave enough to take off walking across the living room without being coaxed or coming to another person.
Wednesday 2/17/10- Ryker was still walking and trying so hard to stand up on his own without holding on to anything. He would do this stink bug thing that was so funny to watch but also broke my heart that he could not figure out how to get up.
Thursday 2/18/10- Was Ryker's first day of going "cold turkey" off the bottle (baba). He did GREAT and actually slept through the night which has not happened since he had his last cold about three weeks ago. Ryker also finally stood up on his own and went walking.

Since then we have been baba free and improving so much on our walking and standing. It only took us 15.5 months to figure this out but owell they do it when they want too. We did have to take Ryker to the pediatrician on Monday 2/22/10 because mommy was concerned that he has not been drinking much at all since we got rid of the bottle. He is averaging 3 maybe 4 ounces a of liquid a day but is eating a TON. Ryker has never been a good eater and we all cannot believe how much he is eating and snacking. Since he is such a little guy the pediatrician was concerned about his weight so we went in to have that checked. On Feb. 1st on his 15 month check-up he weighed 19.4 lb.s and on Monday he weighed 19.2 lbs. so he did drop 2 ounces but he thinks it's from him starting to walk because you burn more calories. Dr. Gould is not concerned at all because he is happy as can be, when he does cry he has tears and he is having wet diapers. He thinks that because Ryker is a little on the stubborn side (Were does he get that from?) he might take longer to accept the sippy cups. He also said we get a lot of fluids from our food. I am so surprised how well Ryker has been without having his baba he has only had 3 full on melt downs in 6 days. I truly thought it would more of a fight and meltdowns but I assumed he would drink more. What a big boy Ryker is becoming. We are so so so proud and lucky to be his parents!

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 ...
