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!!

Easter

Sorry I'm posting about Easter a little late but I guess late is better than never. The day before Easter Pete's school had a big Easter egg hunt for all the kids. Tytan loved it. He even liked the Easter bunny which I was a little surprised about. He probably liked him because he gave out candy and bubbles. In the pic. with the rabbit you can see his cheecks are full of jelly beans and he is checking out his new bubbles. On the hunt!! As you can tell for his age group the eggs weren't really hidden just sprawled all over the grass. He won't really eat any food but of course he will eat a hollow egg shell. What the heck!!

Family pic. with the Easter bunny. After the party at school we headed over to my parents for some more Easter fun. I always love getting together with all my family. Tytan has so many cousins to play with he can't ever possibly get bored. Hope all of you had an awesome Easter!!

Ridge's Baby Blessing

Ridge was blessed a couple Sunday's ago. Peter did an awesome job on the blessing. The best part of the day was hearing him bare his testimony afterwards. I always love hearing his testimony. It always sems to strengthen mine too. The only bummer of the day was that our ghetto camera decided to stop working. All but two of the pictures we took from that day turned out fuzzy and had random lines running through them and of course the pictures didn't even have him in them. Of course it had to happen on those pics. A few days later Ridge had to play dress up again and get into his blessing outfit again so we could have a photo shoot (with our new fabulous camera). Thank you for those of you who have e-mailed me pics. from that day. I will have to post some of those later. Ridge is really the happiest baby ever but for some reason after I spent ten minutes getting him dressed he was so crabby. So here are a few pics. of him in his cutest ever five piece suit. Seriously this is the best blessing outfit in the world. For an awesome blessing outfit check out Crismon's Baby Boutique in Mesa on University. Seriously you cannot say his little suit is not to die for. He is getting so chubby I love it. Doesn't he look like a mini temple worker. Not the best picture but I can't be too picky. Sorry I forgot to rotate it before I posted. One of the two pics. that did not turn out fuzzy. Really who kisses like that. The leg popped and all. Daddy and Ridge!! The other pic. that turned out. How perfect is that flower? One of my nephews picked it and we decided it was not allowed to go to waste so I took the liberty to wear it. It totally looks fake.

Family pictures

Since we have a new member of our fam. I decided it was time to hit up good ol' Target portrait studios again. I guess it has been about 9 months so we were in need of a new picture any way. Tytan was so overly tired and we all know what that means he was a special treat during pictures. The lady bribed him with a Christmas ornament so if you look closely you can see he is holding a gold ornament. Since he was in such a great mood we didn't get one good pic. of him by himself. I'll just have to take him back another time to get his individual picture done again. Ridge was also blessed last Sunday so when I get around to it I'll post those too. We had a little camera mishap so it might take me a little while.

5 weeks old already

Hope you aren't sick of seeing pics. of Ridge yet. I know I've posted a lot recently. They just change so much every day I figured every picture is like looking at a different baby. We went to the doctor last week and found out Ridge is in the 83rd percentile for weight. I am so excited right now. I've been praying for a baby that likes to eat and finally I have one. He was also 90 percent for height. He is just fat and tall. I hope it can stay that way. I also just posted pictures of Tytan at the Zoo. Enjoy!! (Jenna these pictures are for you!!) Mama's boyz!! Best Friends. (I hope)

ZOO

Peter actually had a day off on Thursday so we took a family trip to the Phoenix Zoo. Tytan thought he had died and gone to heaven. Ridge was so good he laid in the stroller for all three hours and didn't make a peep. I wish we lived a little closer to the Zoo because I would go a lot more often. It is a good work out pushing a double stroller up and down all the little hills. Next break he has we are going to try out the Wildlife world Zoo. Tyte at the petting zoo. This was his favorite part of the zoo. He gathered all the hay off the ground then sat in the middle of the goats to feed them all. He really isn't scared of anything. (except nursery) Dad and Tytan looking at the Lions. Sorry it is really hard to see them. Tytan and the Monkey. I was cracking up this monkey is sound asleep with his head resting on that ledge. I love this Tractor picture!! Flamingos
