Quick update!

Ryan~ Stubborn but a lot of fun and very smart! She has had such a hard time with Caleb taking up so much of my time. She acts out everytime we are busy with him. I know a lot of it has to do with being 3! I seriously dread Bekah turning 3! Ryan was great untill that day as long as you forget the fact she refused to use a potty consistently that year, but that has continued past 3. Good times! Ryan loves to be outside, go to the library or museum, read, and to do school. If I had time to do school with her everyday she would be happy. We are learning the letter R this week and she cannot wait. She loves to learn. This weekend we went on a family hiking adventure and she had a blast! I finally had Ryan evaluated for speech therapy today. They told me she doesnt articulate her words. As if I didnt already know that! But by Feb 8 they will call to set up a very extensive evaluation and then decided her specific needs and how they will meet them. Im excited to get her some help in this area as I know it will help with a lot of our problems. She gets so upset when we dont understand her. So hopefully by her 4th birthday we will understand 99% of what she says.

Bekah~ Such a goof ball! There isnt an hour that goes by that she doesnt make us laugh! On the other hand there isnt an hour that goes by that she isnt onery at least once. Bekah is also very caring and sensitive toward other people. So much like her daddy in that area! Last night Bekah asked to go poo poo in the potty so we ran her there and she went! We couldnt believe it and I must say she was hilarious pushing it out! I wish it was on video! She was so very proud of herself. Did I mention we are not potty training her and wont be until she is 15 and also she isnt even 2 yet! Good job Bekah! We'll see if she tries any more. Bekah loves to play with her baby! She cannot go anywhere without it and cant play anything without it and cant sleep without it! Her other favorite in the whole world is DADDY! She sleeps with his picture and his shirt so that she will sleep through the night. At times this obsession is annoying but it is cute at the same time. It just depends on what time of the day it is! Oh Bekah loves fruit snacks too! She would eat them all day if I let her. She eats them all at once and then asks for more. She just doesnt understand why I limit her. Dora has become the only tv that she will watch which is better than a month ago when she still wouldnt watch any. Sometimes one hour of tv a day helps me out a whole lot! Bekah turns 2 Dec 20 and we cannot believe it!

Caleb~ Wow almost 6 weeks old! Time flies by when youre having fun and pulling your hair out! hahah! He is over 11 lbs and sleeps 7 1/2 hrs at night now! AMAZING!! He rarely cries but does grunt a lot when his reflux acts up. We went to see the lactation specialist bc I was still so sore. We found out he was not latching correctly! After a long weekend of him having to relearn how to eat Im in much less pain! Praise the Lord for the free lactation specialists! Who wouldve thought I would need one with #3 but owell I wanted some relief! He is such a cuddler and Scott and I fight over who gets to hold him in the evenings!
