Happy Halloween 2009

Trying to eat the banana peel and finding out he does not like it!

Ryan and MorMor Jo

So Ryan was a little monkey this year for Halloween. We didn't do much trick-or-treating, since he doesn't eat any candy. We did go to our next door neighbors, our church and over to Scott and Renee's for part of the hockey game and a beverage before heading home. Ryan was awake until 9:45pm, the latest he has ever stayed up since being on a sleep schedule. Hoping he would sleep until 7:00am. Well, it worked. He started cooing about 7:00 and was in full blown laughter by 7:15, giving me just enough time to make banana pancakes.

On Wednesday, Ryan had tubes put in his ears and a hearing test. The surgery was successful and he passed his hearing test with a borderline normal result. This is great news. We always knew his hearing was never an issue. Hopefully the tubes will eliminate the ear infections.

The little man has been chatting up a storm too. More sounds and more solid words. Go, Cup, Cracker, Cookie, Em-me (milk), Juice, Car, Goggie (dog). The sounds are getting clearer.

He is communicating more with us too. He uses the sign for "More" frequently. He understands what this means. There is a game he plays with dad and after it is over, he does the sign for more. Tim does it again, Ryan laughs and the more sign. They will repeat this 5 or 6 times until dad is done!

He loves playing with cars and his musical instruments, transferring more toys to his right hand. He is also reaching more with his right.

We have a meeting with First Steps this week just to review his progress. His speech therapist wants to meet once a week instead of twice a month. She sees great progress, but also wants to push him, because he is ready and willing! Very exciting.

Here are some pics of the week and Halloween.
