Smiles

Rock has a very cute smile, except when I ask him to smile nicely at the camera.  Then I get this super cheesy grin.

 Ryker has turned into a very happy, smiley little guy, and who could be sad with guns like these?

 He loves to feel his manly, soft skin when his shirt is off, so sometimes he just rips (and I mean rip) his shirt off by flexing.

 We took Rock to the Rain Forest Cafe for his birthday.  We sat right by the elephants that randomly move and trumpet.  Rock wasn't sure if he liked them or not.

 They brought him a free ice cream sundae!  He is going to start to think that he gets some treat every time he goes out to eat.

 Mama Zista and Papa Dave sent Rock some cold, hard cash to blow on something awesome.  We took him to Toys R Us and let him find his present.  He chose two dump trucks and a scooter.  Now he doesn't have to walk all the way from the living room to the kitchen anymore.

 Ryker is getting more and more independent.  He's started to refuse food unless he gets to feed himself.  The problem is that he doesn't do a great job at feeding himself, so we end up with pictures like this:

 He sure is a cute little guy.  Even when he's drooling all over the place.

 "I HAVE THE POWER!"

The other night the boys were playing hide and go seek. Rock found a great hiding spot, and it took Ryker a little bit of work to find him.

Ryker is walking better all the time, and you can tell by the smile on his face that he's pretty proud of himself.
