woo woo we have a tooth!

ever since my friend's daughter got her first tooth at 4 months, i've been checking max's gums for any signs of teeth. so far NOTHING. finally a few days ago i said it was crazy for me to keep checking so i stopped. my mom was over and said he has a tooth coming in and low and behold i see a speck of white! that would explain the past several nights of constant waking!

so in the past few days, max has started rice cereal, is beginning to sit up on his own, and is cutting a tooth! 6 months is looking to be a busy month!

Monday Memories

on january 1, 2008 ryan got his first taste of solid food. he just turned 6 months and although he was a bit unsure of what to think of it, he kept it all down. from that day on, i went to several different grocery stores a week so that i could buy the best organic vegetables and fruits to puree for my little pumpkin. crazy to think that in just 1 week, i will be doing it all over again for my little max. btw i noticed that at 6 months, ryan was wearing 3-6 month clothes with the sleeves rolled up. max has been out of 3-6 month clothes for a couple months now and wearing all the clothes ryan wore when he was 1.

Boo!! Another Surgery!

ryan had his appointment at ucla today and left with some bad news....doctor is advising he go in for another surgery on his eyes. it wasn't such a blow as i knew in my mind all along that he might need another surgery down the road. i was just shocked that he said BOTH eyes were crossing. i thought it was just the right eye, but nope he said the left eye just wasn't as visibly noticeable. we're just keeping our fingers crossed that lightening doesn't strike twice.

Monday Memories

my favorite place in the world is europe. doesn't matter which country in europe-i love it all. i swear i was a european in my past life. craig and i took a trip to munich and prague in october of 2004. we had so much fun. hopefully we will be able to go back soon and take the boys with us.

Monday Memories

ryan's first trip on an airplane was when he was around 3 1/2 months. craig had to go to montreal for BW's convention so it worked out perfectly that we could tag along and see his family and meet our latest nephew. it was nice to get away and actually taste some fall weather!

LOVE the fall colors!!
