Ryker Meets Santa and More!

So i havent updated hardly at all in December because at the beginning of the month it said i had too many pictures and needed to start paying to blog more pictures...so i had no motivation to try to update. But then when i tried today it worked without wanting me to pay...so YAY! December has been a busy month! I cant believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow!! We did lots of fun things this month....we took Ryker to do some "different" Santa picture....we had some fun date nights...did our first family photos...and it was also my cousin Juli's wedding at the Logan Temple!! So here are the pictures from this month!

8 Months!

Ryker is 8 months now!! Cant believe in just 4 short months we will be planning his 1st birthday!! I am getting a little too excited about his party! Thankyou pinterest for giving me so many ideas!! Lets see..Ryker can stand along anything now... he will grab onto ANYTHING to stand up... he LOVES pancakes, tomato soup, mashed potatos, and popsicles! His 2 top teeth are about to break through the skin! You can see one almost coming through! He LOVES to sit in his room and play with his toys! He loves to unwrap the christmas gifts under the tree and try to eat the paper. He waves and loves to play ball! He can pick up the ball and throw it..its the cutest thing ever! He loves to take baths..anytime of the day..all day long if he could! He is in size 6-9 months! Right on track! We love our silly little happy giggly boy more than anything!!

7 Months!

I feel like I have been super behind with all the moving and thanksgiving and my birthday!! But on Novemeber 17 my little Ryker turned 7 months old!! He is getting ti be quite the handful! He is so curious and has to touch everything! He is crawling and has 2 teeth! He loves to take out every single toy in his toy bin one-by-one..i think its the cutest. He loves things that light up and unfortunatly he loves wires and everything on the ground/ in reaching level is fair game to him...so i have to watch him like a hawk! He sleeps from 8:30pm-7:30 am in his room like a big boy! He still take a nap every 2-3 hours, which i actually enjoy because thats when i can get stuff done. He still loves to watch his baby eisnstein movies, mickey mouse clubhouse, and backyardigans. He is also trying to stand up along the couch ect. We sure do love this busy boy!!

Daddy's Boy

Ryker LOVES to play ball with his daddy! It's so cute to watch them together... he is such a DADDY'S BOY...i LOVE it! I think he gets sick of me becuase he is always glued to my side so he really cherishes time with his dad! Since Jeff isnt here during bedtime most nights, when Ryker wakes up in the morning he is all smiles and so excited to see his dad.. ADORABLE! Ryker is becoming a pro at army crawling now! He goes after any cord, computer, phone, ipod, socket, pretty much anything on the floor. Im happy he is less frusterated because he can get where he wants to go, but that just means i have to watch him that much closer and he gets so mad at me when i have to move him or take something away from him. He is getting good at throwing a tantrum to say the least! But we sure love this cutie and love all the milestones he is hitting!!
On Thursday we were finally able to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. We decided to go to Brio for dinner and it was AMAZING. My new favorite for sure!!
