Grandma came to visit over President's Day weekend.
Helping Grandma open her gift. He loves to play with paper now.

Of course, Grandma brought Ryker some gifts. This is one of his favorites...lights, sounds, singing....it does it all!

His first attempt at cereal. I should have taken one after he was done. He wasn't quite as clean.

Waiting patiently.....for now.

Tummy time, turned into nap time.

He loves the Dad jungle gym.



He always lets go. I guess he thinks he can do it on his own.



He's a big fan of this ball.




Now for the big ball....."let's do this Dad."



This is his quilt with magical powers. He has loved to stare at it since he was born and now he's really into touching it. When he would cry and nothing else would work, we would take him in where this quilt hangs and he would stop instantly. Whatever it is, it's mezmorizing.

His new shirt from Mexico. We had to miss the trip, but he got a souvenir from his great, great aunt and uncle. Looks like he loves it!



Newspaper fetchers


Slipping a little....
"A little help here."
"Thanks for nothing! Are you at least going to help me up?"

He like to chew on the sunflower now that he is teething. His bottom 2 teeth have broken through.


Lunch at Red Robin. I guess he looked big enough to for the waiter to bring him the crayons.

"Where's my lunch?"


Long day.

His new pacifier trick


He likes to take over his feedings now. He no longer needs us.



"Look Mom, Dad's in here too!"

He loves Curious George





His legs work better than his arms so he likes to push himself forward over things.



Tummy time
His baby swing no longer does it for him. He's likes this one where he can sit up and look around.

Chillin'

More George!
