Happy/Sad

Things that make Ryder Happy:

Being held

Getting kisses and hugs

Drinking milk

Taking baths
Getting his bum changed

Being naked

Things that make Ryder Sad:

Being put down

Going in his car seat

When he can't poop

When he's tired

When he doesn't get fed often enough

My most favorite face...

This is my most favorite face in the whole world! 

Smiling and cooing...

While we were in Redding Ryder started smiling and cooing. He especially liked talking to and smiling at his Nana. He would look right in her eyes and smile. He was six weeks old and it was so fun to get to share that fun time with Nana over Christmas break. 

A name and a blessing...

Ryder James Thompson was blessed on December 29, 2013 in the Shasta Lake ward. We were able to have Grandpa Smith, Papa, Uncle Trevor and our good friend Austin in the blessing circle. His Daddy gave him a beautiful blessing. Blessing him with strength, good health, a kind heart and that he would be a peacemaker in our home.He cried through most of his blessing but was happy afterwards!
