I'm so horrible at keeping this up to date. But, for now, here's the latest!
We left off with Ryker's 4 month appt. He was 14 lbs. 7 oz. and 24 1/2 in. long! He was such a brave boy for his shots. I had to go alone to this appt. so I had to help hold his arms. I hate it! Daddy will be at all other appointments from now on! Anyways, Ryker was doing great and meeting all milestones. Dr. Edwards said he was looking good and nothing new on the size of his head. So far it is starting to level out on the average chart. He was still somewhere in the 20th-30th percentile for both height and weight.
Christmas was awesome! We stayed around home for Christmas and spent time with each family. I was way more excited Christmas morning than Ryker and Chad were! Ryker got spoiled by everyone! Here are just a few pics of our 1st Christmas as a family!

So, Christmas is over and January has passed. We are ready for some new adventures! If we'd ever get some snow Ryker is totally ready to go play!
Ryker is getting big and doing great! He'll be 6 months in just a few days! I can't believe he's been here 1/2 a year already! My the time flies! He loves almost any food I give him. Even avocado! He'll eat a fresh mashed banana but won't have anything to do with it from a jar. We just tried a sippy cup for the 1st time today! He thought the idea was cool but obviously doesn't quite have the hang of it yet. He's finally moved up to 5-6 oz. per feeding and that's with the solids. He went to the dr. at around 5 months for a cold and weighed 15 lbs. 14 oz. so he's on a steady gain!

| Yep, that's a Cabela's sippy cup! |
He loves to play in his jumper and on his play mat.
He's almost got rolling over down. He does pretty good going from tummy to back but gets stuck on his arm when going from back to tummy. I hope he gets it soon because he's started trying to roll in his sleep and wakes himself up. We've also started working on sitting up. He doesn't do too bad. Especially when he has the boppy around him. He loves sleeping on his side........no matter where he is!
Our next adventures will be SLC for a Hockey game, a few days in Island Park, a mommy and me swimming class and Ryker's 6 month check up! I'll be sure to update after all that!
