Two Months!!

Our little chubby bubby Ryker is two months old now! The little guy is growing up so fast, just to think that when he was born he lived in Oregon, his dad was unemployed and his brother didn't wear clothes. Now most of that has changed...except for the clothes thing.
He's finally starting to show his personality and giving us some smiles. The smiles come out a lot more when Rock is sleeping or at the store with me.

People complained that Rock looked scared in the first stroller picture I posted. So, here is a picture of the two of them after our walk the other day. Rock just sits and giggles the whole time, and Ryker sleeps, so DeA loves the stroller more than she loves some of the people in the house right now.
Rock is getting excited about the M's recent winning stretch, and so he took me into the backyard for some infield practice. He pulled out his fungo bat and started hitting grounders.

"Hey! Look alive!"

"What the deuce was that? You call that hustle? I call that crap!!"

DeA was invited to go to the boats in the Bellevue Mall by Sarah in our ward. She was pretty excited until she realized that she had to take the boys. Rock loved climbing on the models of the ferries.
DeA was trying to put clothes on Ryker when Rock snagged his pants. Amazingly they still fit him, kind of.
They look like football pants or manpris. Not sure that this fashion is going to make it outside of places like France.
Rock likes to help with Ryker. He has seen us try to burp Ryker by patting his back, and so he will 'gently' pat Ryker every chance he gets.
Yup, he's really helpful with Ryker. He even plays Hide and Go seek with him.

So, today I checked my application on the Washington State Department of Health website. They've been processing my license for almost two months now...they really wanted to let their bureaucracy flex its efficient muscles as much as it could. But, tonight at about 6 pm my pending status changed to active!!

Woo Hoo!! After three years of school, four rounds of national boards, one random Oregon board, and then the Washington exam I'm finally an official licensed doctor of chiropractic! Now, to celebrate I'm going to go change a poopy diaper.
