Baby Ryker

Well, as some of you know our little nephew Ryker was born on Oct. 22nd 8 weeks early, weighing 2 lbs 11 oz and 15 in long. He is doing really well and is off the ventilator, but mom (Rachael) is still struggling. Please keep both of them in your prayers.















As for our little family we are doing well. Just getting ready to register Kurt for another semester of school and really wishing we could push a huge credit load and get him graduated next semester, but that would be about 20-23 credits and wouldn't leave time for work.

Ainzley turned 11 months yesterday and we just can't believe how big she is getting. Here is a list of 11 of Ainzley's favorite things to do right now:

1. Find the toilet paper and pull a bunch off and rip it to shreds along with eating some!
2. Get into Kurt's books in our bedroom and while I tell her no she throws it at me and laughs as she runs away. What a stinker!
3. Grrrs.. like a tiger
4. Plays with her hair to go to sleep, or mom's hair.
5. Pulls out any pony tail, beret, or headband I even attempt to put in!
6. Calls both mom and dad "Mo Mo."
7. Walks/runs like pro.
8. Throws the silverware in the garbage can.
9. Loves to give hugs and kisses to teddy bears or baby dolls.
10. Dances every time she hears music with her hands up in the air and her little knees bouncing up and down.
11. Working on getting her teeth. She has 4 on the bottom and 1 just breaking through on the top! What a funny way for teeth to come in!

We love our little Ainzley, and can't believe she is almost 1! Wow that year went fast!!! She was taking a nap, but I wanted to post a picture of her. I will try to get another one tonight and add to it.

Holy cow, I can't believe how big Ainzley looks in that picture!! Her hair looks really light. She's so cute.
What a sweet little baby boy. I hope everything goes okay. Is this Kurt's sister or sister in law? Scary.

She is so cute! Looks like the pumpkin walk is fun. We haven't been yet. Hopefully we'll get around to it. Your new little nephew is so tiny and cute. I hope everything goes okay in the end. Good luck with school! It's not fun juggling job, school, finances, family but isn't that what life is all about?! I'm coming to realize that it is, which is kind of hard, but so much fun!
