December fun

Ryker meets Santa for the first time! Happy to just sit in Santa's lap, but wasn't willing to give us a smile!

Family picture by the beautiful tree! You just can't see it haha!

Waiting in line for Santa! He was getting a little antsy so we let him jump. Ryker LOVES to jump!

Melissa, Sadie, and I entertaining ourselves while high school perfomers sang to the kids.

Mommy and Ryker! He was such a trooper, it was way past his nap time!

Wow it has been a while since I have updated this! And boy, have things changed! Ryker is one active happy baby boy! We are no longer on bottle strike... thank goodness... and we are loving all, ok MOST, of the foods being introduced! Ryker is rolling all over the place and has even shown some interest in crawling! Instead of babbling sounds he likes to yell happily and see how you react! We have full on giggle sessions which usually ends in all of us exhausted with full hearts! Ryker is really starting to take on a personality. He is such an easy going baby, that can just sit back and watch everyone else, and then when he feels like it, become the entertainer and make us laugh.

Today we think we started a new tradition, going to Tualatin Country Club with Nana and Ahpa for a Christmas Celebration! We got to meet Santa for the first time. Although he didn't smile for the picture he was quite content just sitting in his lap. Of course as soon as daddy picked him up he looked at Santa and gave him a huge smile. Sillly boy! We are so excited to celebrate Ryker's first Christmas! He already loves looking at our Christmas tree... and his little one in his room!

I can't believe Ryker is 7 months already! Time sure flies, I definitely need to get better at keeping this up since Ryker is changing everyday!
