What a nice week

Ryan has been so funny lately. He cracks me up. Over the weekend he played so good. We didnt do alot because its so hot and he has a rash. Its on his right side and on his arm. I was told its eczema. I dont know. I think the doctor is cracked out but who am I to say any different. So we have cream to put on it and we have to use Eucerin lotion. So now I dont have that smell of fresh baby. Oh, I miss it already. Ryan got his brace and new shoes from Easter seals this week. He took 12 steps in a row. He is doing GREAT!!! We are going back in 2 weeks and going to get in the pool for therapy. He tends to be a rock in water so I want to get him to kick his legs and this will be good toning for his leg muscles. I am really getting to understand how low his muscle tone is. He is strong but there are times he just cant hold him self. I makes me feel sad sometimes but he works hard and hopefully will just keep trudging along.

WELL, Ryan has said his first word other than MAMA and dada. He is now saying "ME", over and over. Its funny. It did sound like he said ELMO yesterday. I dont know.

He is funny. He is playing and laughing and is more social it seem in the last few weeks. Even towards strangers.

He is dancing great now. He picks his legs up and shakes his booty. Its hysterical.

We are going to my bothers this weekend for Jakob and Jordan's birthday. I cant believe they are 9 years old. I has gone so fast.

It also means its been 9 years since my dad passed away. I miss him alot. I think about how he would be a great grandpa. He would teach Ryan how to fish and work on things and I just know he would be fantastics and the kids would love him. I really think he would be a push over. I know he would have enjoyed every moment of having his grandkids around. Thats the only thing I wish that was different. I really want Ryan to be able to know his Grandpa. Ill do my best in telling stories. Oh, How I miss him and him calling me Punkin.


Well, today Ryan was so excited to go to school. When I asked him last night if he wanted to go to school he headed for the door. Ill have to watch saying that if its not time. I dont want any fits. His early moring friend was there and they both plopped on the floor and started playing. Im so glad he enjoys the new daycare. It makes it much easier on me. I should have taken him out of the other one faster than I did.

Well, I hope everyone is staying cool. Have a good rest of the week and weekend. I am no longer putting pictures on this because for some reason they wont load anymore. So Im sending them out on KodakEasyShare. If you are not getting them let me know so that I can check to make sure you are on that list. I will hopefully have some new pictures next week to share.

Oh, Please keep my friends Brad and Karen in your prayers. Brad is in the hospital with Liver and Kidney failure. They are stopping all treatments tomorrow. Unless his Liver starts working on his own he will not be able to be put on the transplant list. Its a high possibility that he wont be with us next week. We are hoping for a miracle that he has some liver function over the weekend. Keep him in your prayers and hopefully they are heard. Brad is only 46 and a great guy.

Also, September 8th their is a benefit for a friend from work. Her daughter was killed several weeks ago and left behind 2 small children. I will keep everyone posted to whats going to happen and all the details of the benefit. WE would like everyone to come out have fun and help raise money for these sweet boys: Kaden and Landon. Landon is 1 day older than Ryan.

Take care everyone.

Love,

Becky
