Time flies...

I cannot believe Ridge is already over 3 months old. I swear it seems like just yesterday I was complaining of being fat and uncomfortable. It's kinda crazy how you think when you're pregnant you'll never forget how extremely uncomfortable you are but yet when you have your perfect baby in your arms you just seem to forget all the uncomfort you just had. I know it may take some a little longer to forget but I swear your memory just seems to erase the worst parts of pregnancy. Ridge is such an easy baby. He is the complete opposite of Tytan. He eats like a champ, never throws up, and is just always so intent just hanging out. He already sleeps through the night Hallelujah!! I could go on and on about how much I love this little guy and how grateful I am that our Heavenly Father sent him to our home.

ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?

The last couple of months Peter and I have noticed Tytan's left eye wanders a little when he is trying to look at something far away. So I figured he might need glasses or something. I know that's the last thing my little guy needs but I figured if he needs them I guess I have no other choice. So I made an appointment with the eye doctor and a few days ago we went to see what he had to say. Tytan did awesome with all of the tests the doctor did. The entire time the Dr. is talking into his little tape recorder and I understand a few words here and there but for the most part he was speaking all medical lingo. Out of the few words I did understand I caught the word ABNORMAL. I really didn't think too much of it because I knew he had something up with his eye. After all the tests were done the Dr. looks at me and without really any explaining or anything he jumps right to the point and says...."I need to see him in 6 weeks for a pre-op then we'll schedule surgery for a couple weeks after that! All I wanted to say was WHAT?? DID I CATCH THE WORD SURGERY? ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME? NOT AGAIN!! Apparently he has a bad case of lazy eye. I know some kids just have to wear a patch to fix the problem but not my kid. He only gets his crazy eye when he is looking far away so he doesn't get the option of a patch. This will be his fourth time under anesthesia in the past 8 months. Seriously this little boy is going to be one tuff cookie when he gets older because he has had to go through more then most ever will. At least this surgery will be very minor compared to his other two. I'm not too worried and I know everything will be fine but man I can't help but wish he didn't have to be in pain again. One a happier note my other little tyke is a fatty!! I didn't think I'd be so happy to have a baby that is a blimp. The other day I walked into his room to find him out cold with his fat little legs stuck in the slats of his crib. I guess its time to put up the bumper. This last pic. is one of my favorites just because my boys are kinda starting to play together. Tyte would put the ball in the holes of the dinosaur and the lights would light up and Ridge would smile so big. Tyte thought it was so Awesome. Man I love those boys!!
