Day 325

For the past week 1/2 to two weeks, Ryan's eating has been horrible.  He will eat all of his oatmeal for breakfast, but it's been hard to get him to eat lunch or dinner.  He has always been a good eater, and he eats whatever we give him.  But lately, he will take a few bites and throw the rest on the floor.  He picks up the pieces one at a time as he drops them over the tray of his high chair.  When I try to feed him, he will close his lips, use his tongue to push it back out, or just use his fingers to pull it out.

It's driving me nuts.  He is still too little to know that he has to eat what is given to him.  Tim & I both agree on eating habbits.  I may not like everything that Tim does, but when I was little I had to eat what my parents made for dinner.  Reguardless if I liked it or not.  Tim & I will teach Ryan that he will eat what we give him, and if he doesn't like, we won't be making any special meals for him.  But my baby is too little to understand that, so at this point I am trying to just feed him anything he wants.  We went to Frys and I bought a bunch of fruit.  For dinner, I gave Ryan watermelon, blueberries, pineapple, and strawberries.  He did pretty good.  But I'm hoping he just isn't eating as much because he's been teething like crazy.

Day 324

It was hard for me to get a picture of Ryan pushing around Elyse's car, he kept running into me.  He was going all around the upstairs pushing this thing around.  He loves cars.

Day 323

Ryan playing the piano Elye got him for his birthday.  Ryan usually just grabs for stuff- but lately he's been pushing stuff with his pointer finger- it's so cute.  When we check facebook & our hotmail in the morning he will get out his pointer finger and press buttons on the keyboard.  He's been pointing at stuff too.  I like when he learns new things :)

Day 322

We spent the evening with Grandma R and Kylie.  Ryan has fun playing with Kylie.  She loves him :)

At night I noticed Ryan's back was a little warm so I took his temperature.  I only have a basal thermometer and a pacifier thermometer.  Ryan won't keep the thermometer under his tongue so I stuck it in his armpit and it was 101.75!!  My baby's first fever.  Tim & I freaked out.  He looked up stuff on google and we called the on call nurse at his doctor's office.  She just told us to give him tylenol and to check on him through the night.  She said if his temp got up to 105 to take him to the ER.  105?? Seriously.  I don't think I would have even lasted to 102 without taking him in.

So he slept naked and I tried to keep his blankets off of him. I gave him some fever reducer- at 9:30 he was 100.9, at 10:30 he was 99.1, at 11:30- he was back to normal.  Thank Goodness- then I could go to sleep.  He acted normal all day- so I'm glad it wasn't really bothering him, at least he wasn't acting like it.  I hope he never gets another fever.  I was worse than he was.

Day 321

I love this little walker.  Ryan is so cute.  He will only walk straight with it so he always runs into the wall.  Then he will turn his little head and just stare at me until I turn it for him.  Or he will just turn his body sideways and push the car sideways.  He is such a good walker.  Walks with toys, holding hands, along the walls, couches, beds, everything, but he won't let go.

Playing basketball!  The scoreboard actually counts how many baskets you make.  Ryan will drop the ball and then watch the scoreboard, repeat.

More cabinets.  Pots and pans make lots of noise.

Day 320

Ryan woke up late today, around 11:30.  I layed him down for a nap about 2:45, I was going to wake him up in about an hour just because I didn't want him sleeping all day.  Well, he layed in his crib and just played and talked to himself for about 45 minutes before I just took him out.  He's so funny.  I'm glad he didn't throw a fit because he didn't want to nap, but that he just played in his crib.

& Here is a picture of his 6 teeth!  Cutest teeth ever.

Day 319

Ryan looves to go into Elyse's room and play with her dollhouse.  So many little toys and lots of stuff to get into.
