easter weekend/rice cereal/2nd lake trip

so this easter was a fun one! first off earlier in the week we got his first picture taken with the easter bunny!
that saturday we went out to the desert for the first time... he loved it. he couldn't see anything because the sun was so bright but he would hear us and he would still smile! lol

 we got to go to both parents house and chill but before we went i gave ryder his easter basket!

on 4 21.14
2 milestones
1. feet are now in mouth
2. first taste of rice cereal

he smacked his lips the whole time he was eating the cereal! it was so cute!!







the other day i had this boy naked and there is nothing better than a happy naked baby




also apparently ryder HATES the kissing sound. i couldn't help but test this out a couple times to see if he really does hate this sound and sure enough every time he broke out in tears.

we took our second lake trip this weekend.. it was cold but still fun!!
 he kinda loves links now

the doctor was so happy to see him a healthy growing boy! 
poor guy got his shots! man i hate those!! this time he ran a low grade fever. :(

he got to see the Easter Bunny for thew first time!!
when ever kris drives i love to sit in the back seat with this guy because this is what i see peeking at me the whole time.

side note--as of a day ago, i have officially been thrown up on multiple times by this poor guy. the doctor said it is a stomach bug and wasn't a side effect to the shots so for now im just giving him looottss of love. saddest thing seeing him sick, but i was still able to get smiles from him!!
