Baby Bjorn

This is how I will remember Ryker's baby months... the boy LOVES the Baby Bjorn.  We wear him around most weekends.  That and what a DROOL machine he is!!

Zoom-Zoom

We have officially lost any street-cred.  We are now proud owners of a car-van.   We actually bought the car a bit ago, but it has been so nasty here that I haven't been able to get very good photos.  It's dark when I leave in the morning and when I get home so you have to wait until the weekend to get good shots.

Dashboard.  I LOVE the Bluetooth integration.  So cool....  but then again, a lot has happened to cars in the last 10 years!  :)

It kills me to admit it, but the dual sliding doors are really nice to have.  Niko is sleeping in the photo, but he can close the sliding door himself.  He really likes 'mommy's car.'

Bottle Brothers

Niko wanted to feed 'my baby.'  That is what he calls Ryker.  Incidentally, that is the same bottle that Niko used four years ago.....

Ryker-kun's new favorite toy

Loves his new chair and especially the spinner toy on the table top.  His cheeks are super dry and he keeps scratching them...  I have started to put some 'belly butter' on them and they are looking much better.  This photo is from the weekend.  The video is from Monday.  He loves to chew on the toy and enjoys spinning it around.

 

Channeling Do-Da and Grandpa

Here are the instructions for the Spiderman Lego set that Niko got from Santa.  I build this set to speck.

Niko couldn't stand those boards being uneven and straightened them.  I don't know who he is channeling more... Do-Da's need for order or Grandpa's carpenter skills.

This is what the set looks like.  Spiderman swings in off the white 'web.'

Another Movie Night

Ellie and Ty love playing with 'Baby Ryker.'  As soon as I came through the door, they were all over him.

Monica and I have decided that Ryker's head is just about as big as Ellie's head.  She loves holding him.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!  This session took a bit of coaching to make a 'special moment.'
