Ryker at 18 months

I cannot believe my baby will be a 1 1/2 on Friday. People always told me how time flies when you have kids and not to blink because they grow up so fast. Well I totally understand now! I LOVE the stage he is in right now. He is so adventurous and his little mind is always going trying to figure things out and discover new things.
Here are some things that Ryker is doing at 18 months-
  • He is totally smitten over his Daddy. When Daddy comes home from work or on the weekends he is a total Daddy's boy which makes me a little sad but I guess boys will be boys.
  • He loves to blow kisses but still does not like to give them. If you ask him for a kiss he usually puts his forehead down for you to kiss it. You are pretty lucky if you actually get a kiss on the lips. Although he LOVES to give his Mommy eskimo kisses.
  • He knows were most all his body parts are.
  • He is still the happiest smiley baby ever and we always get complements on how good and cute he is.
  • He started attending a daycare at Aunt Angie's house and he loves it there. Ryker has always loved being around other kids so it's just the right place. He eats really well for her too which it GREAT.
  • He still is such a picky eater and hates for us to feed him in anyway. He is a big boy and wants to do everything himself.
  • We have reached the stage were he will completely throw himself on the ground and have a tantrum..... Mommy and Dadddy does not like this.
  • Ryker is so dang independent with everything he is doing.
  • He LOVES to be outside and gets so upset whenever it's time to come in.
  • Daddy has turned him into a total dirt bike kid! When Chris races he has to go around to every person there and check out there dirt bike or four-wheeler.
  • He is a social butterfly!
  • Ryker loves his liquids. He drinks a lot and has never refused any kind of juice, water etc.
  • He is on the move all the time... no wonder he is such a skinny little thing.
  • Whenever there is music on he is dancing and it just melts my heart to see him jiggle.
  • His favorite toys are his little dirt bikes and he loves to push them around and make the sounds.
  • Ryker goes to bed anywhere from 8:00-8:30 and will sleep to 8:00-8:30 a.m. on the days I don't work. Thank goodness he has always been a pretty good sleeper.
  • Surprisingly he is not much of an animal lover. He does not like the dogs in his face at all and if he does want them around it's on his terms.
  • He really does not say too many more words from his 15 month check-up but he understands everything we ask him to do. He has always been so stubborn so I guess he will talk when he wants to. I am such a chatter box that I am surprised he is not.
  • He still does the pointing thing constantly and it drives me nuts because I think he thinks if he points he shall receive even though I try my hardest to get him to say it first.
  • Ryker has to have tubes put in his ears within the next month and a half.
  • His favorite foods are grapes, strawberries, yogurt, grilled cheese, chips, refried beans and popcorn.
  • Ryker loves to cuddle first thing in the morning when he wakes up.
  • MOST OF ALL HE IS THE JOY OF OUR LIVES AND WE ARE SO BLESSED TO CALL HIM OUR SON!

I am sure I am missing so many things that interest Ryker but these are the ones that came to mind first.

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 ...
