-When you see a spider you call it “ahh” I must have influenced you a little too much.
-When you don’t want to do something we ask you to, you’ll put out your hand and say “NO, NO, NO”.
-When we say prayer for dinner both dad and I will peak at you and you are usually copying what we do. Dad was rocking back and forth so you copied. It makes us giggle every time.
-You are such a good little helper when you want to. You are big into closing the front door when we leave the house. You also like to close the car door. What a gentleman.
-You are a very pikey eater. Last few weeks you have gone on an eating strike, only drinks for you. You are living off of chocolate milk, V8 fusion, water, and orange juice. The only solids you’ll eat is cheese, mac and cheese, hit and miss yogurt, pancakes and French toast.  What were once your go to foods, you now don't like. That is why you are at the 1% for your weight. I can’t get you to eat!
-You are wearing sized 24 month top and 18 month pants and size 6 shoes.
-Your all time favorite toy is anything from: cars, trucks, airplanes, and trains. You rotate playing with all of these everyday. You say”Pruck” for Truck. Too cute!
-You aren’t talking very well.  You only have a few words that you will say like; “uh-oh”, “meme” for mom or dad, “pruck” for Truck, “No”, and “No way”. When we ask you to say a ward you give us a glare. It’s hilarious. Hopefully in the next few months you’ll start to use more wards. When we ask you to say things like thank-you, please, drink, more, etc, you just give us the sign language thinking that's what we want but we want to move from signing to speaking more.
-Words you can sign language; Please, milk {drink},Thank you, food, please, and more. We are working on all done.
This describe you.

You like love to make messes, play in dirt, throw laundry all around the room, pull out all your toys and run around the house with only your diaper on. You are 100% BOY!
Ryker boy, our  life would be boring with you. We love every minute we get to spend and experience life with you. You help us to slow down and focus on what is important and take each day how it comes. 
Happy Birthday SON!
