My baby boy turns 3

So this is another new first for me....I have a 3 year old and NO baby in my house. Different days I feel different about that subject...but that's for a whole other post. This post is about my baby Ryker turnimng 3....... gosh I love this little guy. There are days that he drives me BONKERS....like this morning when he threw a wooden spoon and it smacked Brinley in the face, then grabbed his bowl of cereal ate 2 bites and then tossed the whole bowl on the floor THEN lets the milk that was in his mouth slowly spill down his face and his shirt! REALLY? I don't even get this kid sometimes. BUT then there is the other Ryker....the super cute, super sweet, super cuddly Ry Ry. My favorite thing in the world is when he manages to be up late and climbs into bed with me and Devin and cuddles, or reads a book to US, or shows me all his belongings that he brought into bed with him. He has this whole family wrapped around his finger and he totally knows it too! Here are afew things Ryker is all about these days;

* LOVES books!

* loves his teddy bears, stuffed doggie, and Barbies (I know...hes so weird LOL)

* he LOVES shoes...probably because he spends a lot of nights cuddling with us and watches mommy surf shoe websites! He will say "ooooohhhhh, mommy....look at da shoooes! Pretty shoes!" He will find the girls shoes and come find me to show me his silver sparkly shoe on one foot and the black shiny one on the other!

* loves being outside with his brothers and sisters. He is pretty fast on the pink and purple tricycle pushing with his feet because he refuses to use the pedals. (really, should I be worried about this kiddo?)

* he gives TONS of kisses and every day Brigham leaves on the bus he will stand with me and blow kisses and wave "Bye Bigam"

* LOVES his family, but he really loves his big brother Austin. He will yell HI AUTIN every day when he comes home from school and especially if Austin is gone on a campout he will ask for him and is so excited when he gets home!

* HOT or COLD...you don't get in between, he is either all hugs and kisses or he is chucking stuff across the room OR having a meltdown because the kids sang him Happy Birthday??

* His smile melts my heart and will save him from trouble every time!

* we are working on putting a stop to the climbing on the kitchen counters, and up the shelves in the hall closet

I really really love my baby boy, hes my buddy, hes my cuddle bug and I love when I get to spend one on one time with him. I couldn't imagine a day without him and I adore the love that this entire family has for this little man!
