Relaxing x2

On the eve of his 8 week "birthday", Mr. Ryker spent a little time on his little activity mat. 

And may I just say, you know you're a mom when you get as excited about little hands finding the hanging figures on an activity mat as a new pair of fabulous shoes.

He seems to like to grab the rattle that's closest to his right hand and will look around for about 30 minutes before he starts to "squawk".

Meanwhile, Landon has taken to a new little "habit".  We've had a red Mickey robe for 3 years now.   A gift to him from a babysitter.

I bribed him ...(yes, I find it to be a very effective parenting technique) several times to get him to use it. Nada.

Then out of the blue he wanted his "rope".  After a great game of charades to figure out what the heck he was talking about...he put it on and hasn't taken it off since.

If you guessed this was a picture of him a breakfast, you'd be wrong.  This is after-school snack.
