He loves to make noise on his new tamborine.

A little wrestling action for all you WWF fans.

I'm putting my money on the big guy.

First carrots. I think he likes them. Surprise, surprise, is there anything this kid won't eat?

Aaww, the old lion on the head trick, makes him laugh every time.

"Do I have something on my face?"

Oh the things we do to him for the sake of learning. I don't know if he got much out of this little exercise. He seemed more concerned than anything.

The sippy cup is a little challenging, but he likes to do it himself.

He's already got the triple threat position down. Just in time for March Madness.

Out doing a little work with Dad.

Out for another boat ride.

We moved the boat to get hauled out and it was quite a walk back to the car carrying Ryker and all his gear so I found a little help. I'm sure this won't be his last ride in a marina cart. He seemed to enjoy it, but I got a lot of funny looks cruising across the parking lot.

He has found his toes and he loves them. Actually, he's a big fan of anyone's toes.

Orange you glad Dad picked out this outfit?!?

Seth has been busy preparing our property for our new house to be built. Our back yard is a bit of a mess right now.

Another great toy with lights that makes lots of noise.

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.
