Hey, girls! I am back home and the computer is looking like a long-lost friend. How sad is that?
Traci, Ryan figured out to tip up the bottle (no sippy at my mom's) just this morning. He was so proud of himself. I've just been lifting it for him and I guess he finally got it. Not sure if it was a fluke, but he did it a few times. I think the only reason he likes water is that he takes a sip then uses the water to blow raspberries and watch the spit fly. Very entertaining for all..check back in a few weeks, though. :roll: We also use YoBaby whole milk yogurt.
Ankie, (((Hugs))) to you and Arwyn! So glad it turned out alright. How scary. I will learn from this one too...I'm not as good about closing the gate if I'm just running downstairs for something and dh has Ryan. How hard is it for me to lock and unlock it? Must be more diligent!!!
Got TONS of cards today and it just made my day after a pretty horrid drive home. Roz, you are another hot mama!!! Jo, your letter was BEAUTIFUL and so matched my own sentiments (although with much better writing than I could manage!)
Holy guacamole, Cathy! Just scanned down to see who I'd missed and read your post. How scary for you all. Had to smile at the bit about dh yelling at the cat.
Glad you are all doing fine!
Oh, yeah, another Traci. We keep to the routine even during the teething. Still going strong, btw. Remember when I was so excited about Ryan's first real tooth like 3 weeks ago? IT'S STILL NOT ALL THE WAY IN! Is that abnormal? It's like a halfie. :roll: I can see the other tooth trying to poke through, but will not get excited until I can feel it!
Also, Ryan has the WORST cold. Has had it for a week or so. Several night wakings, but will generally soothe himself back to sleep. He just can't breathe and totally hates the nose sucker and I suck at the nose sucker, so there you go. :?: How long do you wait until you see your ped. for a cold. TIA.
Must run to the grocery since I've been gone nearly a week, so no chat for me tonight. (Can't believe I've gotten 45 mins. to read and post, so don't want to push it!)
Dh rave: He stayed up late last night cleaning up the house so it would look decent when Ryan, my mom, and I got here today. It was just trashed from Christmas morning and trying to get on the road. What a doll baby that man is!!!! And, quite the hunk! :wink:
