Watch me Grow!

Ryder is Two!

I can't believe that my little Ryder Spyder is two years old. He has been SO much fun and we love having him as part of our family. Here is a little collage of pictures. The go left to right and each square represents each month of his little life.








Ryder,
Now that you are two will you still.....

  • come and snuggle with Dad and Mom in the morning?
  • run with that cute skip in your step?
  • have a smile on your face 99% of the time and that fun scowl for the other 1%?
  • call Trey "Trey Dawg"?
  • carry your "Wow" all over the house dangling from your mouth?
  • have bumps and bruises all over your head from all your little accidents?
  • bring us books and climb onto our laps for story time?
  • want to help in the kitchen if you can use the big stool?
  • refuse to use your booster seat at the table?
  • look at me with those big blue eye in that same curious way?
  • kiss me with that great pucker face?
  • ask me to change your bum?
  • say such cute prayers?
  • love to play with Jenna and Cooper?
  • say "Treeeeey, Treeeeey" in that sing song voice to try to get him to stop crying
  • have such fun spiky blonde hair?
  • push limits and test the water before jumping into trouble head first?
  • call Cooper "Pooper" or "Tooper"
  • like Legos and the Playmobil Doll House
  • say I want to wear "Pooper's Shit" (Cooper's Shirt)? Sorry mom but this was to funny not to include
  • need your Wow and Hatchi (stuffed cougar) to sleep?
  • snuggle with me?
  • say "Yav You Mom"?
  • cause crazy mischief?
  • say "Go Cougars" when we ask what a cougars says?
  • want to lick the beater when I make anything in the Kitchenaid mixer?
  • try to escape from the church bench every week?
  • get that cute excited look on your face as easily and as often?
  • have that cute giggle?
  • say mine instead of my?
  • say "hold you" when you want us to hold you?
  • say "minutes" when I say it is time to go home from the park?
  • say "6" when we ask how old you are?
  • be as sweet and cute?

We love you!!
Mom and Dad

SO cute and I swear I'm not copying you when I post a 12 month collage for Mira's birthday post. Great minds just think alike!

Ohh I'm so sad to see that sweet Ryder is two! It just seems like a huge milestone and we're not there to celebrate (PS we also missed it, so sorry, Spyder). I love love the list, and I got such a belly laugh from 'coopers shirt' It's uncanny. So so funny. I love that little boy of yours, and miss his cheerful smile! I love that he says 'minutes' at the park. We keep trying to teach Liam 'lights' just so that we can have a dose or Ryder. I loved how he signed that!
