A month of Firsts

October was a month of many firsts for Ryker:

 First Bath in the sink... Rick's idea, and quite a good one! It's the perfect size for him to sit up and  have enough water to keep him warm.  And despite this sinister looking face, he is quite a sweet boy!

 First time playing in the snow... don't mind the miss-match outfit.. this is about the experience!!

 First crush...... Ah... which girlfriend shall I choose?

 First piano concert....

where most of the melody was carried by Jared (who has quite the ear for any song, self taught mozart here!)

 First spoon fed lunch at the babysitter's...

 In which he did NOT 

appreciate the flavor I chose!!  Sorry Jen, the presentation was great. Bad choosing on my part. Great picture taking on your part!

 First Halloween...... A costume party at Grandma's. We won the most original!

First time playing in the leaves... who wouldn't have fun with a chubby puppy boy like this!

Fall Favorites

I honestly wish I had the life of a seven month old! 

Three meals a day, spoon fed in the high chair. Mess on your clothes, sure. Spill on the floor, no problem. Feel like banging your hands on the tray with wild screeching, in pure happiness- Go for it buddy!! You make me smile!

 Some play time in the Johnny jump up, which includes happy chatters with Mr. Oreck. 

A leisurely walk in the stroller to the mailbox,

 followed by eating the mail key while we sit on the porch swing and watch for Daddy to come home (poor buddy did get his first official Farmington Mosquito bite the size of a marble right between the eyes.. welcome to the swamp my boy).

A bath with toys, two people smiling and watching me, and not a care in the world.
