lake tahoe

we had a great time in lake tahoe.
it was wonderful to spend time together
and do what ryks likes to do during the day.
during our trip, he/we learned the following:

• ryker now shows people his belly button
• he loves to do "touchdown" with his arms
• he makes noises when playing with his cars
• he covers his mouth when he laughs really hard
• he is very demanding when he wants something
• "mom" and "more" sound (and mean something) very similar
• ryker loves sand and water
• and he LOVES soccer - we'll post a video of him playing
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

kiss for mom

as we were driving back to our hotel
after a day at the beach at lake tahoe,
ryks was in his car seat saying,
"mom, mama, mom, mom, mama"
when i turned around, i saw
he was trying to give me his sippy cup.

about ten seconds later, i heard
"mom, mama, mom, mom, mama"
when i looked back
he smiled and blew me a kiss.

my heart melted.

shave and a haircut minus two naps

we finally decided to cut ryker's hair
now he looks like a little kid
instead of a toddler!



i guess with this new grown-up look,
ryks thinks he can get away with
skipping his two naps, which makes
for a very tired kid at 7:30 p.m.
