New stuff

We have been so busy lately and Ryker has been changing so much lately! He is talking so well. He is able to carry on a conversation with you full of questions and funny comments. Last night we were laying in bed with him reading stories and singing (our usual bedtime ritual) and he was really tired. We turned out the light and he was laying there, then he started saying, "My eyes, my eyes, turn on the light". The next thing we know, he was fast asleep. Apparently his eyes were tired and he wanted us to turn on the light so he wouldn't go to sleep - smart boy! Last week Aunt Hollie and Uncle Collin came by for a night (they had to evacuate NOLA for hurricane Gustav). Ryker was excited to see Hollie again, and he was even friendly with Collin. He showed off a little by singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and running around like a little goofball. He was happy to see them, as were J and I.

Some of his other new sayings are: "Check it out!", "Jason Da", "Thomas Train Track", "My favorite", "No". Some of his favorite songs are: the theme song to Bob the Builder, the Friends song off of his church CD, Itsy Bitsy Spider, ABC song. He still loves Thomas and recently told J and I that he did in fact Love Thomas the train. He also likes race cars of any kind, and our dog Benson. He loves to read books and listen to music and dance. He is such a great kid, J and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful child.

Next weekend is his 2nd birthday party, which will be a lot of fun. We are having a small party for his friends and his grandparents, as we will be at the beach on vacation on his actual Birthday (9/22) where we will have a family party with my family. I know he is going to have a great time, so look out for the next post as I'm sure I'll have some great pictures to share.
