Picky Eater!

I think Ryker is going through a phase of being picky.  I think he likes to spit food out of his mouth more than he likes to swallow...I admit, it would be fun seeing if I could hit someone in the face with my food...but I do enjoy eating it also! This little stinker wants what I am eating...and when I let him try it, he'll spit it out! Today I spent a good portion of the day trying new foods for Little Man and looking up recipes to get him to eat! Luckily, he's still taking his bottle which I know gives him the nutrients he needs...but I get so FRUSTRATED when everything I make he spits back at me.  I know I haven't tried everything and it could just be a phase, but I don't want to give up trying and have him want the food. So day after day, I try to serve him some solids, only to be rejected.  I can't get mad because he doesn't understand, and he always smiles at me and melts my heart. But I do get frustrated that my efforts seem like they're in vain!

Oh well, I guess. If any of you have some tasty recipes you'd like to share, or helpful hints on how to get a picky eater to eat...feel free to leave a comment! :)

As for the sleeping thing...I was out late last night making some cute blocks w/my Sis in law...so I didn't get Ryker to bed til about 11...and at that point he was OVERTIRED...so he woke up at 1 and 5 and cried longer than the last two nights. We got him in bed early tonight though cause he was fallin asleep at the table...so we'll see how tonight goes.

My pictures FINALLY uploaded...it only took 14 hours! Anyway, here are some fun pics I wanted to share!

I had to take this picture, may seem heartless of a mommy to snap a pic instead of picking up baby, but I want to remember this sweet, sad moment.  He took a tumble and I just thought a priceless picture. haha...still make me smile!

We picked himself up and went back to walking!

Daddy thought it would be fun to sled down the stairs in a diaper box...Ryker looks stoked huh!

But he wasn't sure once it started to descend.

We also had a fun play date with Sawyer...they were holding hands!

Sharing toys...They even gave kisses but I wasn't fast enough to snap the pic. SOOO cute!

And even fought over some toys! haha...again, had to snap the pic. unfortunately Ryk moved, but it was classic. Both were SCREAMING!

My Valentines shelf! Rosette ball took an hour! and those block are the ones I made w/ Sis in law.

Thanks to Cut It Out, I was able to get some fun letters for Ryker's room...I have so many projects for that room!
