The Incredible Shrinking Boy!

After a visit this morning to OGP (Oregon's greatest pediatrician), Dr. P, we discovered - gasp! - Ry has lost weight! I think this would be alarming for most mamas of an 18 month old, but as he's shrunk from 32 1/2 pounds to 31 1/2 pounds, no one was too concerned. I think my back actually did a little happy dance, too.

For the first time in a long time, a visit to the doc didn't involve wheezing, or instructions for steroid or nebulizer treatments. I think everyone was a little surprised, but I'll take it. Hopefully, we've turned the corner (knock on wood) and he'll be able to go off all that yucky medicine soon.

Also, Ry made some excellent progress last night toward our ultimate goal (and fervent dream) of everyone sleeping all night long in their own beds. With the tax season tyrannosaurous breathing down my neck, I'm definitely looking forward to making this a reality.

In the meantime, enjoy this look at our busy, healthy, 34 inch tall 18 month old.

Heart stopper! Those blue eyes... I didnt think it was possible to love someone else as much as I love Ben, then Ry was born. I admit, I am madly in love with this beautiful 18 month old boy (and his big brother).

If only we adults could harness the ability to eat more and lose weight! Looking good Ry.

It's actually a simple weight loss plan. Step One: Run, do not walk. Step Two: Whenever possible, eat while on the move. Step Three: Think of ways to do things you're not supposed to do - this burns a lot of energy.

Wow. Hard to believe that Noah and Ry are only a couple of days apart in age. Ry could steamroller over Noah and Noah would end up a pancake at only 2/3 of the weight of Ry.
