Ryan's growing up!

Ryan got a second tooth, and he can now pull himself up to a stand, and he says 'kitty cat'!

i've yet to get those on camera but i did finally capture him crawling on his hands and knees! he's very purposeful with his motions, it's pretty funny...

Reflux Update (again)

Ryan has really made improvements over the last month! He is sleeping from 9-5 every night, it is wonderful!!! He's also eating two meals of solid food a day. His reflux has become more of the spitting up kind rather than the silent kind. He spits up all over the floor (we're going to need our carpets cleaned!) but hey, he's happy! We re-worked on him putting himself to sleep and now he'll go down for most naps and bedtime without any crying!! He's even missed his meds twice in the last week and it wasn't the end of the world! It's such a pleasure to have a happy child! I'm really starting to enjoy being a mom! I think several things have contributed to this change, stopping nursing, ryans digestive system maturing, the change in meds the doc made, eating solid foods, sitting up more. but most of all thank you for your continued prayers, it's what makes the most difference!

Worlds End 2008

I just added all of our pics from worlds end in a new album so take a look. There are a LOT! It went surprisingly well with ryan! He started sleeping longer while we were there, what i would consider through the night, and it's continued since we've come home!! We also started feeding him more solids there too, he's not terribly into it but we're forcing it in cause i think it's helping with the reflux! Ryan LOVED hiking on his daddys back and taking walks in the stroller. Tim caught I think a total of 5 fish, woohoo! and I(Jen) finally finished a book i started over a year ago, lol! It was so fun to see everyone in the fam every day, what a blessing to get to hang out with everyone for so long! Heres a huge sampling of pics...
