Update

2 weeks after we got the news that Ryland's ear infection was cleared up I am happy to say that Ryland is back to his normal sleeping routine. No more 4am wake up calls .... we actually have been waking him up in the morning to feed him before I leave for work. Keep your fingers crossed that this continues!!

We also had our first experience with Ryland knowing exactly what he wanted to eat. We have been feeding him prunes to get some extra fiber in his diet. Dr Loventhal told us that pears were also good for this so we decided to get a jar of pears to try it out. I fed him pears and then started feeding him his oatmeal (which he typically loves) and he started screaming. So I went back to the pears and he immediately stopped and wanted to eat. I went back and forth a couple of times and then caved in and just finished giving him the pears and skipped the oatmeal. Note to self ... always start with the bland stuff first and then save the sweet tasting foods to last.

Ryland is also still in love with sitting up. He tries to sit up all the time .... in his bouncy seat, in his car seat, in your arms, when you lay him down. I have a feeling that he is going to master this soon.

Things Ryland loves right now ...

sitting up and standing up
laughing
blowing bubbles
grabbing stuff and holding on
