Tooth #5 popped through either yesterday or the day before. Its hard to find out since Ryan HATES me messing with his mouth. He is getting his teeth in very strange. His first 2 were the front bottom, his 3rd tooth is bottom right next to his front tooth, fourth is right front tooth, 5th is right next to that one. And his 6th one that I can see and it about to pop through is the left tooth next to the missing left front tooth. I will see if I can get a picture but Im betting not. Silly boy.

Im going to Vegas at the end of the month for 3 days! DSP has a booth at the PMA show and Im going to help out there and then we have a digital crop on Saturday with team members who are going and DSP members! Im really excited to be going!

Peter is going to Paris in the middle of February for work. He is going to be there for 10 days and Im super jealous that he is going. Im hoping that if he goes back next year I will be able to meet him over there if mom and dad can keep the kids.

Well, we saw the allergist on Monday who confirmed that Drew has asthma. It doesnt bother him all the time- only when he has respiratory problems like allergies or a cold. So we are supposed to give him his breathing treatment if he coughs or wheezes and monitor him. If I have to give him the treatment more than 2-3 times per week, then we will put him on a daily medication like Peter has to do for his asthma.

But the good news is that the allergist didn’t see the scarring that we were told he would have because of his issues he had when he was first born. So thats definitely good news!

Ryan’s 4th tooth has *FINALLY* broken through after about 2 weeks of torture on him and me! Its his upper right front tooth. Now he has 2 more teeth on his top gums that I can see are coming. Ryan’s teething is so much worse than Drew’s ever was. Im ready for all of his teeth to get in. And he is grinding his teeth together right now and its giving me the willies.

And here is a current picture of Ryan.

We had a great Christmas! We went to my mom and dads on the 15th for our annual “Granny Christmas” and had a good visit with all of the family. The next weekend, mom and dad came down and stayed with Blake and Elicia and we opened presents with them on the 24th. Drew got a Diego sofa, Leap Frog ClickStart My First Computer and games, hot wheels, and something else that Im sure Im forgetting. Ryan got the Fisher Price Amazing Animals Train, a zebra to go with the train, pj’s, a sit and stand giraffe.

More to follow.

Ryan is now finally able to sit up unassisted without immediately falling over. He also is pulling up to standing position while holding onto something but lets go and immediately falls backwards. Poor child has hit his head so many times Im surprised he doesnt have a permanent headache. He is also able to pick up his fruit puffs off the table and feed himself. He still doesnt like baby food but will eat food from our plate. I guess we better get back to eating healthy so Ryan will get his fruits and veggies in! He is also working on his 4th tooth. He has 3 on the bottom and working on one of the top front teeth now. He is a super fast crawlers and has adopted the motto “the fastest way from A to B is a straight line”. He will crawl through the legs of the chairs, over Drew’s school bus, basically anything that gets in his way.

So, I’ve been horrible about putting recent pictures up on the blog. So much has been going on with the holidays it just seems like there was always something else to do. So here we go! (Newest to oldest)
