8 Months! Can time please slow down!

Ever since Ryker was born, it seems like he is growing so quickly and achieving one milestone after another.  I wish time would just pause for a moment, so that Jeremy and I can catch up!  He is stubborn and determined, as well as so playful and the light of our lives.  Here are some fun facts about him at this stage.
-He loves his BYU blanket that my dear friend Jenae made him, he has it with him most of the time
-He can stand up on his own pretty well
-He loves straps of any kind, paper, and tags more than any baby toys
-He loves bread
-He loves splashing in the bathtub
-He babbles constantly
-He yells if someone is eating something he wants
-He likes all his friends at daycare and is sometimes sad to leave.
-He gives kisses
-He has the sweetest smile, and cheeser grin
-He has an adorable and infectious laugh
-He likes to be read to
-He would like to feed himself and sometimes refuses to eat when I am feeding him with a spoon
-He makes everything better and more fun
-He loves his Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles
