and again!

Last night before getting into the bathtub, I stripped Ryan down and put him on his little potty. He freaked out and stood up immediately, and then ran out of the bathroom (stupid me for not shutting the door). I yell to Tony that there is a naked baby on the loose, so we're running around trying to catch him before he pees everywhere. We made it back to the bathroom, and Ryan lifted the lid on the big toilet...so we put him on it and he peed! Such a good boy! We, of course, made a huge deal out of it and danced around to celebrate. My boy is getting so big!

This weekend we have plans to go to Beasley's Orchard, now that Fall weather has finally arrived! I can't wait! Ryan had a blast sitting with the pumpkins last year...I can't wait to see how much fun he has actually running around and picking out his own pumpkin this year! I hope he likes apple cider as much as I do (are toddlers even allowed to drink cider? I know I couldn't when I was pregnant...).

No new news about Dad. They are still trying to find another hospital to transfer him to...are there really that many people with heart problems in Florida that they can't find ONE SINGLE BED???? I told him he needs to come up here for treatment anyway, but he didn't seem too excited about that idea. ;-)

Car shopping tonight after work...not sure what I want and I have a feeling we'll just end up fixing the Escape. But it's fun to look and dream at least!

just had to share

update

Hello! Here's a quick update while I eat my lunch....

Dad is still in the hospital, and his condition appears to be stable. They keep pumping him full of blood thinner medication and are preparing to transfer him to a facility with a better cardio unit. Please keep him in your prayers.

Saturday was our 6th wedding anniversary, and Sunday was Tony's 34th birthday! My how time flies! I had 13 rolls of film developed over the weekend, and here are a few of my favorites:

18 (almost 20) month update

We had Ryan's latest well-baby visit on Friday, so I thought I would post his stats:
Weight: 26 pounds (50%, a little down from our last visit, but he was wearing clothes then)
Height: 33 inches (50%)
Head Circumference: 49 centimeters (75%)

I have about 20 rolls of film to get developed, so I should have new pics sometime in the near future. Stay tuned! Especially for the pics of him in his new suit at Stephanie and Louis's wedding! Such a fun and special night!

In the meantime, here are two pics that my dear friend Tania just sent me. Peanut and I met her for lunch last weekend to say good-bye...she is getting ready to move back home to Missouri. We are going to miss her a lot! Thanks for sending us these, hon! I hardly have any of just me and the wee one! :-)
