Morning Fun

Ryan has had a few rough weeks. He had double ear infections and a cold so the doctor put him on amoxicillin 10 days later, on Valentines day of all things he woke up with a head to toe rash - come to find out he is allergic to amoxicillin. Once he was taken off the medication he started having high fevers and a horrible cough - he was diagnosed with pneumonia. I should have known it was bad when he wouldn't eat ANYTHING, which lasted about 3 days. A week later we are back to normal and Ryan is eating like normal! It is great to have my happy, active boy back.

Thanks Co for the great pictures

18 months check up: 30.8 pounds, 34 inches

Grandma's visit

This is an old picture from Christmas that I didn't post. Ted and Ryan sharing a milkshake waiting to see Santa. Notice there is no picture of Ryan and Santa because that was rather traumatic.

My mom and her friend Co from Chicago came out for a few days to stay with Ryan while I was a slave at work and Ted was busy getting the restaurant open. Co has a great camera and took some great pictures. These are just a few.

Ryan's mean face - he does it on command and then smiles.

First post of the new decade.....

I know.......it has been way to long! What will 2010 bring - I am hoping 2010 will bring big things for our family! Ted restaurant, The Catch, is opening the first week of February. I think I am as excited as he is. Ryan is now 18 months old weighing at 30.8 lbs and 34.5 inches long. Yes still at the top of the charts. He is still very active and finding new ways to open things, new furniture to climb on and new ways to get his way. And for me... a few things goals for 2010: figure out the wedding, watch the Vikings go to the Superbowl, not work too hard, update the blog every other weeks, and to be prego by the end of the year (the pregnant part that is my plan not sure it is Teds).
Pictures are from x-mass where we spent the day as a family in CA. It was a beautiful day, breakfast with Grandpa Ted who came bearing lots of gifts for Ryan, some time at the park, and a big Ribeye for dinner. The next day Ryan and I flew to AZ for a couple of days to see his grandparents and great-grandparents. That was the last flight with Ryan as a lap child so not sure the next trip to AZ will be. Belated merry christmas and happy new year!

Thanksgiving 2009

Posting pictures takes me longer and longer. It was much easier to keep up when I took 20 pictures a day of Ryan. Now I am lucky to get one. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Teran's.
