2 nights in a row!

Woohoo! 2 nights he has slept 9 hours in a row. Mom is getting some good sleep these days. His cold is still acting up, but hopefully naps during the day help it go away faster. It has been rainy here today so we haven't been able to go for our walk. Maybe soon it clear up and we can go after his nap.

This Kid...LOL!

He slept through the night last night. WITH a cold...LOL! I give up. I don't do anything different from day to day and the results can vary so much.

Sadly, I think he passed the cold back to me too. Ick.

Chandler and Bailey have had lots of homework these days. Chandler is rewriting the Constitution in his own words for World Studies and Bailey is journaling about a caterpillar growing into a monarch for Science. Sadly, her caterpillar went missing last night, so hopefully her teacher will give her a new one or her and Aaron are going a huntin to night for one!

Look at Me!!

Ryan LOVES his walker. We were hoping it would make him a little more independent and start walking on his own, but he isn't ready yet. He loves to cruise around with the walker and try and push things out of his way. He actually figured out how to turn it around and walk backward with it. This kid is sure mechanical!

Another LONG night last night, but he is always pretty happy so that is a positive. I am pretty sure he is teething as he is chewing on the corner of the sliding door now...LOL...that and the icky diapers. I forgot about those.

I love books!

Doesn't this picture say it all?? We can read the same book over and over and over again and he still wants to come back for more.



He sure is a silly little monkey. He slept from 8:30 pm to 5:30 am today, so that is a start. I think that is about the stretch of time he goes. Maybe if we move his bedtime to be later, he will get up at 6:30. I just wonder if he shouldn't be sleeping more at night and less during the day. (He sleeps for about 4 hours during the day).



We started carpooling with 2 other families today, and I sure hope that goes well. It means we drive the kids to school every 3rd week.

Ahhh...nap time for him, time to get dinner started and lunch eaten.

Still no sleep

I sure wish we could figure out why this little guy isn't sleeping very well. Last night was another tough nite. He went down at 8:30 only to wake up at 1:30 a.m. and stayed up for about a 1/2 hour and then up for the morning at 4:30 a.m. (Thanks to Aaron for staying up for that.) He didn't really take a super long nap and wasn't a grump or anything. I wonder how tonight will be.

Ryan has started attacking his monkey and is now taking him pretty much everywhere he goes. Monkey went in to the OR with him, so I suspect they formed quite a bond while in there...LOL!

The other thing he came out attached to was his paci. He was never a paci kid before, but now it is something he looks for most of the time. It isn't an addiction yet, but I can see it going that way. He and Bailey like to have paci wars where Bailey steals his paci and she goes back and gets it from him and he laughs and laughs. Here is during their last one!

Just a quick update

Ryan is sleeping, well he has been for a little bit and I was cleaning up, so I have to make this quick.
Surgery went very well yesterday. The mass they saw in his bladder was gone by the time they did the pre op ultrasound so they just did the circumcision. He was sore and crabby yesterday, but work up today Mr. Happy Pants, just like a normal day. The only issue is really diaper changes as we have to put vasoline on his little thingy and that must sting.

The kids are doing great in school, having a good time and doing their homework right away. We are all stil a little short on sleep so this weekend will be good to catch up on that for all of us.

With the fall weather, Ryan and I may have to make a mall run to find some pants. He has a few, but most are too long. The 18 months pants fit him around the waist but they are about 3 inches too long....maybe even longer than that.

Curse of the end of summer cold

Ahhh...school is here. Chandler and Bailey were up bright and early this AM to get ready to go to school. We didn't have a very restful night as Ryan was up quite a bit and I got the dreaded summer cold and could barely function.

It looks like Ryan has gotten the cold now. His little nose is drippy and he has a cough and he just isn't happy. He crashed really early for his nap. I am hoping he will sleep for a while as he needs it. (and so do I)!

We find out how extensive his surgery on Thursday tomorrow. We are hoping for the best news we can get!
