Portraits of a Gyker and Boots!

It's always fun to upload pictures from the camera and find surprise pictures that Rock has taken.  He took some good ones of Ryker, and you can kind of read Gyker's mind as he wonders what Rock is doing.

 "How much longer is this going to take?  I've got some things to break."

 We can't blame him for taking pictures of his brother, we think Ryker is pretty cute.

 I also found an old memory card and plugged it into the computer.  I got a nice compilation of pictures from Oregon right after Ryker was born.

Rock is a pretty cute kid, too.  He knows that with his smile he can get away with a lot of stuff, especially when grandparents are around.

We've gotten to the point where we are letting Ryker come to terms with his impending bedtime on his own.  The other night we found him hunched over after choosing to cry himself to sleep instead of calmly laying down and drifting off to sleep (I'm describing it this way so that DeA doesn't continue to feel guilty for leaving her baby in a cold, dark room, alone, and letting him scream at the top of his little adorable lungs until he's so tired he falls asleep...since it was my idea.)

The boys are finally getting old enough to start the rasslin' sessions.  Here Rock is trying to bury the reverse arm bar while Ryker tries to roll out of it.

Rock did a good job controlling that arm.

I just can't get over how cute it is to look out the back door and catch a glimpse of this:

DeA's started to put Rock down for naps on the adjusting table instead of the bed.  That way he doesn't have as much room to wiggle out of her arms at nap time.

Even though he turned down the Calvin Klein ad, he still likes to show off the goods.

A while ago Mama Zista and Papa Dave ordered Rock some rain boots from Cabela's.  Rock kept asking where his boots were, and DeA would try and explain that they were on their way.  Well, they finally showed up tonight, and the little guy was excited.

He started jumping up and down and yelling "thank you Mawma Zista!" and "I go in water!!" since Mama Zista told him that he could jump in rain puddles.  We didn't let him go out there tonight, but I'm sure he'll have lots of opportunities to try them in water.  He hasn't taken them off yet.

Here's a fun video to enjoy from last Saturday.
