So much to say

Rylan is getting so observant now. He loves watching people especially his big brother and sister. He pays close attention to every move they make. As soon as he hears Josh's voice when he comes home you can tell Rylan is panning for his face and gets so excited until Josh comes and gets him. Anyways heres a picture of him and Jayden playing.





Here's some sweet pictures of the kids. Rylan loves snuggles, but if you get too close he'll try to eat your face. Hes a very slobbery baby, but he's so cute that most the time you don't notice that you are getting completely drenched.







Rylan and Jayden are finally old enough to have some matching clothes. Sooo cute. Jayden is so proud of his little brother.

Finally

Well finally this week we have some good news, well its good news for Rylan. Last week I thought we were so close to his rash going away, and then Saturday and Sunday it got so bad. So on Monday I called a dermatologist. They said they couldn't see me for a week. So I called my pediatrician back and went there instead. By now it was covering his whole body. Luckily that made it easier for them to diagnose as eczema, which he thinks is caused by an allergy to cows milk, and since I am still nursing, that means I am now off cows milk. I was surprised to look in my pantry and freezer and find that almost everything I eat has milk ingredients in it. So it is tricky, and I am craving it even more now that I cant have it. They said eczema doesn't appear until 4-5 months, and thats why even though I was always eating it, it just appeared now. On Thursday I was on the phone while making Ashlyn dinner, noodles and cheese, and made the mistake of putting a pinch of cheese in my mouth, and sure enough Fri his face flared up again. Luckily since it was such a small amount, it was better by the next day. So the good news is we have an answer, the bad news is what to do next, and thats what we'll have to wait and see. Its Josh's birthday this week, and I won't be able to eat any birthday cake, so sad!! And I had just bought some of those delicious peanut butter twix, and they will be sitting in our pantry for a while. My Dad would say thats probably a good thing.

Then all three of them got colds, and Im sure if Josh doesn't already have it he will soon.
But a little secret my friend Lindsay taught me is to put vix vapor rub on your feet with socks and it clears up your nose almost instantly, and it really works.

Jayden also finally got a hair cut. His hair is so hard to cut because it all lays in the weirdest ways. But I think it was a success.

Rylan on Tuesday. You can see how bad it still was.

This was last night you can see how much it was clearing up. Now he just looks like he has rosy cheeks again.

After the hair cut. Can you tell the difference?

Welcome Back

This week is a week full of pictures, and not much else. Some weeks I have so much to say, and some weeks I can barely get a chance to put things on the blog. I really want to work on taking my camera with us wherever we go, so we could catch some of the fun things we actually do, but until then this will have to do.

It must be Sunday again

Again Rylan's rash has been a big worry this week. Just when I think it's getting better it comes back strong, and the doctors arent sure what to do about it, so after some prayers and fasting, and a blessing we hope that by next week we have something good to report.
Josh had a busy week, working over forty hours with both jobs. So over 90 hours total, but hopefully it will slow down this next week. Other than that, the kids are still loving school, and life is just plugging a long. I really wish I some other thing to tell you.

Rylan's new favorite thing, pushing up on his arms. He can move a little.

We think Rylan may grow up to be a vampire. He loves to grab your face pull you in and chomp.

Even with the rash most days he's still very happy. He's had a couple hard nights though.

Here's the snuggly family. I love Jayden's new cheesy face. What a heart breaker.
