Pumpkin party
For FHE Jacob had the great idea of carving pumpkins. When we bought them they were so cheap we decided to make a little pumpkin family to match our own. Jacob made some hot chocolate and we had a great time!!
Ryker loved playing in the pumpkin guts we gave him and laughing at his dad while he was picking his pumpkin's nose. Yummy!!

4 months old!!
I can't believe it has already been 4 months since Ryker came into our lives. Things have changed so much, but yet it doesn't feel like much has changed. He fits into our lives like he has been a part of it forever.
We had his 4 month check up yesterday. He is still a big boy weighing in at 17 lbs 4 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile, but is slowly becoming average size.
Ryker is doing more and more every day. Yesterday he rolled from his stomach to his back and I got it on tape. How did I manage that you ask?!. Well, he was laying on his stomach and had pulled his legs up underneath him and pushed up twice and I wanted to get a video of it. Of course he stopped once the camera came out, but I caught his first real all-by-himself roll over.
He has been all smiles since Jacob returned home after being gone for 6 days. The second he heard Jacob's voice he got a huge smile and hasn't stopped smiling since. He has also watched Jacob like a hawk all day. One time when Jacob was holding him up facing him Ryker started touching Jacob's cheeks and nose and mouth with the most control of his hands that I've seen. He had the most curious and quizzical look on his face. Our little boy is growing up so fast which makes me kind of sad, but it's fun watching him learn new things.
Ryker also got his first taste of real food. We went out to eat and Jacob gave him a few little bites of his sweet potato. It took a bit of work for Ryker to swallow it just because he kept pushing it out of his mouth. His facial expression never changed so we're not sure if he liked it or not.
Since I haven't taken many pictures of him I thought I would post a few short video clips of him rolling over and playing with his new found body part...........his lower lip.

Sorry for the length of the videos, I don't know how to shorten them.
