So Rylan all of a sudden got sick this weekend with coughing, wheezing, hard time breathing, and runny nose. Took him to the dr today and he is treating Rylan as if he has pneumonia again. So the little guy is on amox for 10 days and nebs for 2 days but if the nebs are helping, then he will be on them for longer. Rylan has wheezing in his chest and upper airway and the dr couldn't distinguish it from one another. The dr didn't do an xray since Rylan has a history of pneumonia, rsv, and lots of wheezing and coughin.
If we have to take him in again for wheezing, he will be put on a med like pulmecort. The poor kiddo can't get a break from being sick. Hope the summer gets here soon!!!
And he was still 30lbs 4oz and his height was just a little over 33" (so those are pretty much the same as at his 15 month checkup).
I have an appt next wed (28th). I'll be 16w2d and hopefully we'll be able to tell on the u/s what we are having. I'm excited. Nathan and I both put the same girls name on our list last week but cannot agree on a boys name at all so I'm thinking we'll be having another boy! :)

15 month update
so rylan had his 15 month checkup on monday. he weighed 30lbs 4oz (still off the charts...hahaha!) and his height was in the 90% and head in 75%. i forgot to ask what both measurements were. but he's doing great overall (and still a big, big boy!).
the dr seemed a little worried that he isn't talking yet. rylan says mamamama and dadadada but he doesn't look at us and say those words so we don't know if he knows what they are or not. but he babbles ALL the time and uses many different consonants so i'm not worried that he hasn't said his first word yet.
and since he's so big and practically running, he gets to move up to the toddler room at daycare on monday. yikes!!! he's not supposed to get so big so fast. but i know it'll be great for him and he'll be picking up new habits and will be talking in no time.
other than that he is a typical boy and 150% energy from sunup to sundown. he loves to climb on anything and everything. he tries to squeeze on the side of the fridge (not sure what he finds fascinating back there). he eats like he's starving and will eat anything he is given. (hopefully that sticks for a long, long while!).
he loves the movie everyone's hero (highly recommended movie!) and tv shows backyardigans, dora, diego, and blue's clues. he loves animals. he loves little people. he loves to read. he is so curious and loves to see what everyone else is doing. we are working on coloring but after a minute or so, he thinks he needs to try to eat it. lol!
he has turned into a mama's boy big time. he will even cry if i leave to go to the bathroom or put laundry in. cute yet annoying. it's nice when nathan is home b/c he can help distract him and give me a break.

exciting news
well we are excepting another little one again! due date is july 13th but i will be induced at 38 weeks unless this one comes earlier.
had my first appt yesterday and got to see the baby and his/her heartbeat. was going nice and strong! definitely helps to see that. our dr this time around is josh deere. justin moved back to montana to be near his kids. kinda sad!
i was feeling fine until a few days ago and now i feel like crap but it's good that i'm finally feeling something. i'm tired but that's cuz the little guy is a crazy boy and is all over the place.
rylan is now walking almost running. he loves to climb and be a boy. he loves to dump all his toys out and pull out the books on his bookshelf. our living room daily looks like a tornado. haha! he has started trying to put his socks and shoes on. he follows most directions pretty well. he knows where his nose is and we're working on the rest of the body parts. he loves to dance and has started singing along with me or the tv. it's very funny. he loves to put stuff on his head (like buckets) and crawl or walk around with it on and then crashes into stuff and laughs. he is a very smart boy and will be talking up a storm in intelligible words very soon.

One Year Ago
A year ago, on a Friday, our little guy joined the world! I cannot believe it's been a year already. Time has gone way too fast!
Rylan isn't walking yet. He cruises around all the furniture and climbs on anything he can get up on. He's even pushed a few items near other items so he can climb higher! He loves being outside. He loves to crawl to the front door and look outside. He loves the park and being in the swing. He'd be content to be in there all day and watch the other kids run around. He is starting to listen and follow a few directions. He knows what No means but still loves to ignore me when I say it. Typical kid!!! He likes to swim and be in water. He is very good at sharing right now. He likes to hand you something and then have you hand it back. He also just loves when people wear hats and he can take them off. It tickles his funny bone! He has just recently started dancing. He does a monkey dance that is hilarious...he does it standing, kneeling, sitting in his high chair!!!
He has 6 teeth and will have another one or two any day! He is right around 30 pounds. He's pretty tall for his age. He is in some 18month clothing but mostly 24month or 2T clothes!!!
He still isn't a great napper or sleeper. Not sure why but I'm ready for him to be in his crib all nite long!
We are having his birthday party tomorrow! The theme is Thomas the Train. After the cake and presents we are going to the waterpark. Should be a good time.

Crawling Machine
Sir Rylan is now crawling all over the place!!! He's had quite a few bumps and bruises but he's just making his head stronger! ;)
Just today he started crawling after me. I went to the kitchen to get him a bottle and about 10 seconds later I hear him right behind me. He had the biggest grin on his face. He was so proud of himself.
He loves to pull himself up on furniture. Thankfully only on his knees so far. I'm not ready for him to get up on his feet yet!!! He's growing up too fast. His favorite thing is to pull up on the doorknobs on the entertainment center and chew on them. Haha!

9 month dr's visit
Rylan had his first eye appointment today. Nothing is wrong, the eye dr is part of a free program that checks infant's eyes out. Rylan's are great!!! Yay! He is a little farsighted but I guess that is normal for infants and will decrease over the next couple of years. I just hope that he gets his daddy's eyesight and not mine!!!
Then he had his 9 month checkup. He is still a BIG kid!
Height: 29.5" (90%)
Hear: 18.5cm (75%)
Weight: 26lbs 2oz (Off the charts...100+%)
He is right on track for all his developmental stuff! Yeah! The dr said that he is big enough to be changed to forward-facing in his carseat but said to hold off until he's about 1 to let his neck muscles get stronger. And he can try anything I want to give him except honey. Yeah! I hope to have him eating big people food exclusively very soon. That baby food is yucko smelling and expensive. And I can't wait to get him off formula. That stuff is ridiculously priced!!!
