7 months and counting...

It's amazing how much kids learn and grow in just a month. Ryker has figured out how to get up on his hands and knees, but can't quite get the hang of moving his hands forward. Instead, he slides his knees back and gets further and further away from the object he was going for. He has realized he can lay on his stomach and turn himself around in a circle and if he rolls toward whatever it is he wants he usually ends up reaching it. He will get up on his hands and the tips of his toes and when he's about to fall over he will lunge/fall forward.
He has started making all different sounds and noises and has said "Hi", "Mom" and is so very close to saying "Dad". The "Hi" and "Mom" only lasted a day or two and he stopped saying them.
He is such a happy baby and loves to laugh at anyone who will jump out from behind something. He always has a huge smile for anyone who will look at him.
When he was first born it seemed like 3 months was sooo far away and here we are 7 months and a few days later and it just amazes me how short it has been and how much joy he has brought into our lives.
