:: happy 6 months baby ryker ::

 Today is our sweet baby Ryker's 6 month birthday. I can't believe that he has been apart of our family for that long already. Man does time really go by faster once you have kids. 

Here is a recap of the last 6 months of "Tiny's" life. 

Born July 22, 2010 - he just had his first bath and I was laying in my bed trying to take pictures of him. I could not get out because the epidural had not yet worn off. It was killing me to not hold him at this time. 

 1 month old and wearing his curious eyes. They were his favorite kind of eyes for a LONG time. I think he was still trying to figure out if he liked us and that is why he wore them for so long.  Oh look he already had his double chin. I didn't remember that. 

 2 months - blessing day. He was super lucky to be so loved and have Nana & Papa and Granny and Grandpa come for the occasion. 

 3 months and loving his first Halloween. Well maybe not loving it but Brady and I sure loved seeing him all dressed up. I think his face is saying "why? why would you do this to me mom?"

 4 months and loving our trip to the aquarium. His favorite part was watching the penguins. 

5 months and Ryker's first Christmas and trip to Utah. He had so much fun meeting family and friends for the first time. 

6 months and showing off his adorable personality. 

Our tiny guy is anything but tiny but we still love the nick name. Nana keeps saying he is going to be a line backer and make us some $$ someday and Brady and I will still be calling him "Tiny" when he is 6'5" and 

235 lbs. Papa seems to think "buba" is a more appropriate name for him. 

I love singing songs with this little guy. He giggles so hard and it is the sweetest sound on this earth. I need to have Brady take a video of it so ya'll can enjoy it also. When ever I am having a hard/bad day it always makes me feel better after snuggling up with this little guy. He warms my heart and his toothy grin is a sight to see. He is growing so fast but he still loves snuggling with me and those are my favorite moments of the day. I am going to miss these moments when he gets bigger. 

We love you baby Ryker! Happy 1/2 birthday!!
