A few new things

Ryker's PT came to the house Tuesday morning with an idea. :) Since Ryker was about 3-4 months old the doctors have said he has a little torticolis (sp). Which means he has trouble turning his head in one direction. Its nothing big and nothing to worry too much about but his therapist wanted to give something a try. She put this tape on Ryker's neck that is supposed to stretch the left side and pull down on the right side. He didn't really like us holding him down so she could get the tape in the right spots but as for the tape itself, he doesn't even know its there. So here are a few pics of that.
It's kind of hard to see because its skin colored but it just goes up his neck and behind his ears. I guess it follows the muscle that's right there. 


It's on both sides



She'll keep working on all the other stuff and hopefully he won't have too much longer in PT.  A few other things are happening.  I am finally letting Ryker sleep in his crib!! I know, I know, crazy huh!? He's always slept in his nap nanny in our bed or in his Pack N' Play right next to our bed so it's crazy to think of having him away from me. We're only on night #3 but he's doing better. I've been sleeping in on his floor for the first few nights because I was freaking out about him waking up and being scared...yada yada yada.  But tonight, I'm going to try to sleep in our room and just have his monitor set up. We'll see if I can last all night. ;) After all, his room is like 5 ft away from me. More news is Ryker's big birthday is coming up!!!! I can't beleive he's going to be 1!! Seems like I should still be pregnant! We are planning a big water party for him at my parents house. And between all of my family and Chad's family it looks like there will be a lot of people there. I'm so excited for him!

Our next few weeks are filled with fun! A few weekends of camping with family and friends, family reunions, Ryker's birthday party and my 10 year class reunion! (Holy crap I'm getting old!!) So as you can see, we'll be busy busy for awhile. But once all this is over I'll be sure to post pics of all the adventures. Until then!
