Life's been pretty typical for us....cRaZy!!!!! We had issues with the move, and still have not moved.....the new apartment totally screwed things up....they gave us the wrong size apartment....WAY TO SMALL!!! then after much drama we finally got the last big apartment available. The catch is we cant move in til the 31st...the same day our current lease is up....UGH! so we will be going insane that day.....more so then we are now. JK.

Lets update on Ryder....he's been to many appointments lately....the most important was the Gastro. appt. Ryder was diagnopsed w/ bad acid reflux. now hes on meds!!! zantac?? 3 x a day!! and milk of magnesia once a day. Its working! yay! no more puking all the time......with exceptions of today....

Today Ryder came down with a wicked bad stomach bug....enough to make me SO nervous! he's having a very hard time with it. Poor guy.

I'll write more at a later time....but all is well for us.
cool things ryder does now....says "car" "go" "ba-ba" "neener-neener" "yes" "ah-oo-ee!" (aka one two three!) "og" (dog) ......lots of words!!!! his speech path. says he say-sounds/ words that most kids dont learn til about five. Ryder also enjoys shaking his head....no no no no! he loves to read!!! he wont eat the book...he'll stare at the words as you point and read...and he turns the pages for you! At night Ryder looks to the sky searching for the moon....he loves the moon!!!
During the day if he hears a plane he looks for it and smiles. Ryder also LOVES playing with grandma Wilstead's wooden train set....he sits in his special chair and puts the train on the track (or tries!) and plays for at least an hour with the trains, and cars!

What a miracle! huh? this all shows that mentally this kid is so there! we are happy for that!

That is really awesome. I"m so sorry he's so sick. Our little Hannah has pneumonia right now. We hope his progress continues.

Much love, C

Hooray an update! Been wondering how the the little guy was doing. Kadence had HORRIBLE reflux as a baby and is still on meds today. Make sure I give you some info on that the next time I talk to you. Info I wish we had known. Zantac is nasty. Been there done that. Now we are on Prevacid and I love it because it is a solutab that dissolves in her mouth...much better! Hope the tummy bug is short lived. Poor guy!

Mentally he is all there...that was the last thing I thought I would hear you say about Greg's kid! He looks like his dad, and thinks like his mom. He will do just fine in life! Seriously though, awesome stuff to hear about Ryder. Still miss you guys tons and wish we were there to help with the move. At least you would have some sunshine to keep us warm!

Yay! It is so fun to watch little ones learn new things! Good luck with your one-day move. Has Rosaline given you dates of our family reuinion? It would be great if you could come (June 11-14). Love you guys!

That is soooo completely awesome! Wonderful incredible and blessed. We all knew you had a keeper there. haha

Poor guy with the acid reflux! Ash has that too. Zantac didn't work for her, not even the 3 times a day. They switched her to Prevacid which worked better but then our insurance changed and they switched us to Omeporazole twice a day and it works like a charm!!! I love hearing about his progress!!!
