Last weekend my sister, Kelsey, and her 5-month-old son, Ryker, came to stay with us. They live in El Paso with my brother-in-law, Jeremy, who is in the Army. While he has been out in the desert for field exercises the past few weeks, Kelsey and Ryker have been making their Houston rounds. I was so glad they came up to College Station for some extended QT.
Although El Paso is about 12 hours away, I have been fortunate to see Kels and little Ryker several times since his birth in May. But it had been a couple months since I had seen them, and Ryker has changed so much! I must warn you: If you do not want to see multiple pictures of an adorable baby, do not read any further.
Just look at how big Ryke has gotten! He's already in 9 month clothes!
Uncle Ry had a fun time with little Ry. Ryan changed a diaper for the first time this weekend and even babysat for an hour or so while Kelsey and I got pedicures and Starbucks.
Olive loved Ryker; perhaps a little too much. She especially loved the way he tasted and had to be repeatedly scolded to stop licking him. Midge also enjoyed the baby, but she was more respectful of his personal space.
To coax smiles out of Ryker for the photos, Kels and I would sing and dance behind the camera. Some of his favorites were the choruses of "Ms. New Booty" by Bubba Sparxxx and "Hoochie Mama" by 2 Live Crew.
We went to Downtown Bryan for First Friday and popped into The Attic antique store to browse. I'm so glad we did because we found this great Eames chair at a good price. I'm a bit of a furniture fanatic and have wanted an Eames chair for many years. It also provided a good backdrop for some pictures of the little guy.
Looking serious for his close up.
Since Kelsey didn't get any photos on Halloween, we put Ryker in his costume for a few shots.
Up in the sky! It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Super Ryke!
