Playing Catch-up...

It is so pitiful how dependent I am on technology, what little knowledge I have of it anyway. Jaren has had our wireless computer for the past couple weeks while hers is out of commission and I have neglected to post b/c all my pictures are on the wireless computer. My other computer is older and slower so its not as easy to post pictures. And, no one wants to read a blog about Ryan without seeing pictures, so even though its not a great excuse, its my excuse and my blog so there...

Well, thanksgiving has come and gone and Ry is growing everyday! We went to Rhett's and Papa's and back to the Longfellow's for Thanksgiving, she was such a trooper being carted around all day. Needless to say, I am still full from Thanksgiving but making room for Christmas. We started December at Kylia's making Christmas candy and starting Ryan on rice cereal. She is liking it more and more but still has to figure out how to use her tongue to keep the cereal in her mouth. She is also waving "bye" now. Grandma started that and it does take some persuasion, but she will do it. Jaren, Joe, Kylia and myself have seen it done on more than one occasion.

Joe and I also made the decision along with Leah and Matt to pierce the girl's ears. Last Saturday we all took Ryan and Amelia to Claire's boutique in the mall and the mommies held the girls while they got their ears pierced. No pics of that b/c it was like getting a shot but again, my girl is tough so she was done crying before Amelia even sat in the chair. We had to go first b/c I might've chickened out otherwise.

Finally, Ry has been sick off and on since October with cough, congestion and the like. We have taken her to the doctor at least FIVE times to figure out what is going on and we went again this past Friday and got somewhat of a resolution. Ry has bronchitis and while that stinks, thankfully that is the worst of it. I was worried b/c I thought if she kept up with all this coughing and stuff she could develop pneumonia. She had a chest x-ray and things came back clear. All we can do is what we've been doing to get her better which is keep up with vaporizers, saline spray, suctioning boogers (gross) and getting plenty of sleep (for RYAN, not mom and dad of course). So that what we've been doing, hopefully she'll be getting better shortly. She really is working on the resting part. I stayed home from church with her today and she has been sleeping since 9:30 am. I've been told that resting helps her heal so sleep on my baby girl!!!

So, that should cover all the high points and that should catch me up for this month so far. Happy blogging!!!
