Well I decided I better update my blog seemings how it has been forever since I have. Ryker is getting so big its so crazy he now weighs 16 lbs... and is 25 inches long he is a big boy! Its so fun going through the different stages with him, I fed him a little bit of prunes and got it on video so I could show brian his first food experience it was pretty funny he didn't quite know what to think of it, so i put it on here to share. We had a great christmas, Ryker got a lot of fun toys and another gun...crazy grandpa! His favorite toy is his jumper I also posted a video of that he laughs and has such a blast jumping. I love being home with him and watching him grow its such an amazing experience. Well I wish I had more to say but I have been sitting here trying to think of what to say and nothin so our lives are kinda boring hopefully I will have exciting news soon!!!

Yesterday Brian had the opportunity to bless Ryker it was such a wonderful blessing he did such an amazing job. Brian was nervous that Ryker was going to cry cause he wouldnt go to sleep, he started getting really fussy right before but he barely made a peep during the blessing. I am so grateful for Brian and the wonderful words he spoke. Ryker and I are so lucky to have him. I feel so blessed. So many wonderful things have been happening for us and I am so grateful. Ryker has changed so much its so crazy. He smiles and laughs so much I love it. I am enjoying every moment of motherhood.

Well a few things have happened since we were on here last. Ryker and I had the wonderful opportunity to babysit Kingston we had so much fun together. Kingston is so curious about every sound Ryker would make it was pretty funny. They love having play dates. Also

its Halloween today. I couldn't find Ryker a good costume but he did have a cute monster onsie that his grandma got him. He loved it and smiled so big as you can see in the pics. He is getting

so big I cant believe it he loves to laugh and smile I love being a mom its so amazing.

Grateful for this experience.....

I was looking through my pics the other day and came across this photo that I took before I was pregnant and how on earth did my stomach go from this.... and i'm not sucking in

to this????? Its incredible to me that that can happen wow my stomach is freakin HUGE I didnt think that such a small person could carry a 7lb 12oz baby. But it happened and here is proof. Carrying a child was an amazing experience and i'm so glad i got to experience it. I was miserable a lot of the time and thought I couldn't wait to not be pregnant anymore but to be quite honest I miss it. The kicking and hiccups was so incredible. I'm so grateful for the bundle of joy that has entered our lives I always thought it would be amazing but to actually experience it I cant even explain how it changes your life and how much love you have for someone. But dont let this fool you it definitely is the hardest thing you will have to do as well breastfeeding for me has been quite excruciating I got clogged milk ducts which turned into mastitis which gave me a yeast infection so they gave me an ointment for the itchy boobs which i was allergic too got clogged again then unclogged, then finally i had about 2 weeks of easy feeding things were great and what happens 3 days ago i get clogged milk ducts again.... I sure hope this is going to stop or maybe this is what I get for trying to make my baby healthy. I guess only time will tell! All I can say is I applaud anyone who has given breastfeeding a try cause that is a true trial.

But how incredible this was!!! Now i'm just hoping I can get my body looking like the first picture you saw...All I need is to hang out with Carrie everyday so I eat healthy and exercise daily.......Your my inspiration girl!

Just some random Photos

Things Ryker loves:

This is Ryker all bundled for our Sunday walk he loves going on walks even though he falls asleep in like ten seconds. We finally set up his play gym and he absolutely loves it especially when the music plays. Its so amazing how they change so fast and start doing different things. I showed Brian the video and told him he was laughing but Brian says that it wasn't a laugh but I say it is the start of one. I get so excited every time he does something new even if its just a grin. I absolutely love being a mom its the most rewarding thing ever.

Ryker also loves seeing aunt Carrie and Kingston they have so much fun together and are the best of friends. Today we went on a walk together and saw the ducks not that Ryker enjoyed them but Kingston did. Thanks for such a fun Day!!!
