10 Months!!!

We have a walking baby! Ryker started taking steps last month and has taken 13 steps in a row now. It is adorable, sometimes he hesitates, squats, and takes a step. He has improved his eating as well. He loves chicken nuggets, any ice cream/sweets, carrots, applesauce and bananas. He has learned to fake laugh and knows we think it is adorable so he will do it to make us laugh. He cried when I dropped him off at daycare for the first time today. Usually he doesn't want to leave! A few weeks ago he made a new friend at church, an 8 month old baby, and gave him kisses on the head. He is in between 12-18 month clothes right now. He loves to play chase and dance and clap his hands. He thinks it is funny when we play incy wincy spider and I try to play patty cake but he just giggles. He loves it when Jeremy tickles him and gets a silly contagious laugh when he is tired. He has become fond of jumbo Legos and also playing with his socks. He says mamamama a lot, which I love. He loves phones!!!  My mom had to take the batteries out of one of their cordless phones and send it home with him because he wanted it so badly.  He can be entertained for hours with phones.  We have bought him two play ones but he prefers the real thing.  He also saw my digital camera on the ground and altough he doesn't know what it is, he knows it is important so he likes to play with that and my iphone stacking them on top of each other and carrying them around.  Here are a couple pics:
