My little Sunshine...



 Such a handsome little man.  All dressed up to go to Grandma Tu and Grandpa Don's (Ryder's Great-Grandparents) house today for lunch.  We thought Grandpa Don would really love to see him in his flat cap, but little man's head is too big!  (That's OK because Grandma Tu is going to try and make it bigger by adding some elastic.)  When we got to their house Ryder was feeling pretty good and happily ate a Hob Nob cookie until there were only crumbs left behind.  :)

Grandpa Don told me that when he walks around the house with his walker he always passes the pictures* of Ryder and says, "What a beautiful child."  He said, "Too often we think these things but don't say them."  It definitely got me thinking about what I say and what I don't say.  Thank you for the lesson Grandpa. :)

Unfortunately, Ryder's mood went downhill soon after we arrived.  He had his vaccinations yesterday afternoon and was starting to feel the effects.  His temperature rose and he threw up all his milk.  Poor little dude.  We decided it was best to head back home so he could get some rest.  He's been sleeping now for 4 hours and is just starting to get restless.  I imagine he'll be up any minute and hopefully feeling better. 

*The pictures of Ryder that Grandpa Don was talking about were taken by Eden Lang.  She's an amazing photographer and I absolutely love her work.
