Ryker is 8 weeks already Crazy!!!The bigger he gets, the more smiles that come I believe..:) Packed away his newborn clothes and tried hard not to cry...;) I tried to keep him in them as long as I can but realized he probably isn't too comfortable...haha jk He has been such a good sleeper. He will go a 5 to 6 hour stretch and then a 3 to 4 hour stretch every night. Last night was a 7 1/2 hour and 4 hour night! Awesome! We decided to surprise dad and go down for his birthday .. Ryker did so good on the way down there, I was wondering if he would or not. On the way back he did perfect! Barely cried at all!! I couldn't believe it. Never know when traveling 7+ hours..(stops in the cities). We went out to Ruby Tuesday for Dads birthday and out to the mall afterwards. I forget what it's like being so close to a bigger city! It was nice being able to go to Starbucks everyday (besides Sunday). :) Game nights every night and chai tea lattes.. Was so much fun to be with mom and dad again! Celebrated his birthday on Sunday with Troy and Julie.

Making a new recipe of pumpkin pancakes! They were like pumpkin swedish pancankes.. YUM!

This is a 3 month sleeper...

So im sitting here trying to do this blog..he is crying because I am not holding him (spoiled too much by Grammy and Papa maybe?) so I put his paci in his mouth and working with my left on the computer.. and he grabs my hand and calms down.. too cute.

Happy new year and happy 6 weeks!

It's amazing how time flies when snuggling a newborn.. I feel like that's the majority of what I have done the past six weeks. :) Ryker has been such a good baby and we couldn't be more pleased with how perfect he really is. It's fun to watch him day-to-day to see what new things he is doing. This week when I set him on my knee to burp him, he stands up. He loves smiling and has since he was born.. It's so adorable! He laughs and smiles in his sleep so much .. Kills us every time ..;) It's fun to watch him kick and coo. He loves to look around and see what's going on and doesn't sleep when there are things going on. He loves to be talked to and loves to snuggle… That's my kind of baby. :)  Tom and I are so happy and cannot imagine our lives any different right now. It's hard to imagine what life was like before him.. It's amazing how something so tiny can bring so much joy.

November-December 13

Finally starting a blog!! I figured now with a little one, it would be nice to go back and look at our lives and see how fast it changes! Started 2013 off with a Caribbean cruise and ended it with an adorable, perfect little baby..I could  not say this year could have gotten any better! Looking forward to 2014 and excited to see what the future holds.
