Fifteen 1/2 Months
Our sweet Ryan Anthony is 15 1/2 months old. He saw the doctor and he is doing so well. He still crawls sometimes but he's a much more confidant walker. His smile melts our hearts. He signs "more" and "please". He says, "mama", "dada", "nana(banana)" and flies airplanes complete with airplane noises. He loves to ride his rocking horse and he loves to wave bye bye. He weighs 24 lbs. and 15 oz (55th percentile). He is 31.5 inches long (60th percentile) adn his head is 51cm (99th percentile). Here are some pics I took today:

He missed 2 Christmases but Finally Got His Two Front Teeth
December 2008--one month after the crash--the joke was that all Tony wanted for Christmas was his two front teeth (this was facial reconstruction time). December 2009---the joke was that all Tony wanted for Christmas was his two front teeth (this was jaw surgery time). But September 14th was like an early Christmas! ; )
Tony had his two broken teeth (there were two broken on either side of the gap where the two missing teeth were) pulled and bone stimulating compound put into his jawbone to prep it for implants. In the meantime he gets a snazzy bottom retainer with four false teeth. This man is gorgeous teeth--or not, but here are a few pictures of the new smile!
And Tony being Tony (the red you see is just part of the retainer)

A Not-So-Wordless-Wednesday
I've had to be creative about activities this week. We had to cancel a few playdates because Ryan isn't quite better. Some clues as to what we're dealing with are the fact that his bedsheet and crib bumpers haven't been on since Saturday. I have washed upteen outfits/towels, he has had 1 (or 2) baths everyday and a quote that was heard in our house yesterday from Max about Ryan was "Mom, there's poop everywhere!". Yes, yes, there was. So we haven't gone very far. He sees the doctor tomorrow. Something is going on in his little tummy. No more vomiting but well, still not fun. So we haven't gone too far from the house just in case. Yesterday we went to the library and today we went to the temple (just 15 minutes away now!), Deseret Book and the grocery store.
My little climber has turned lights on
and off
Airplanes even come in the bathtub around here
Riding the Pony (check out the cute airplane pjs from Aunt Patty)
And playing games (amongst other things)
I guess I didn't get a picture of Ryan's costume change. I hope his little sickness ends soon! ;)

Green Thumb Questions #2
Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Patty have such great knowledge, I just have to ask them a few more questions...:)
This is the front of our house with the mini-jungle. I'm going to remove the 3 maple trees because they're so close to the house. I'm also going to cut the irises down. How much would you leave above ground? Do you know what the little hedge in front of the door step is? I just want to trim it up, is that right? There's another monster something or other that I have a closer view of later.
Do you know what this is? It's kind of spread out all crazy-like. I'm not sure how to trim it up. I want to cut it down pretty small. Would that be okay?
This is a close up. It kind of reminds me of an Azalea but it's so big and out of control.
This is the tree monstrosity that is right in front of the house, blocking the window, etc. It's going, but I was wondering what it was.
Is this hosta okay? Do they get this dead? Do I cut off the tall things that grow out of the middle?
This is a different kind of bush. Do you know what it is and should I just trim it and shape it. Would now be okay?
Oh, and Aunt Dorothy, I was wondering what kind of hedge trimmer Uncle Ken used for the laurel. This one is pretty thick and so we need something much stronger than the little electric one that was here.

Calling All Green Thumbs
So our new lawn is creating more learning experiences for this green thumb wannabe. We have some crazy and out of control bushes that need to be whacked down but I'm a little unsure if I can whack now and if I should whack them as much as I want to. I'm going to post some pictures and if anybody would like to chime in and offer some advice, it would be much appreciated.
Crazy Bush #1
And a closer look. Anyone know the name or how to care for it?
This is a cherry tree I've heard. I've already cleaned it up but just wanted to have the picture. Still, advice is good.
A little hedge. There are five or six of these.
If I trim it as much as I want to I'm afraid I'll be looking at a short pile of sticks all winter. Is that okay?
What are these?
They're super fun to have in a yard with small, curious boys
And the hedge from Hades. We've already started whacking at it and filled our yard waste container completely. Any advice for these guys?
Special advice for Hydrangeas, which I love, btw
Here's one of my deader looking hostas. Is he okay?

A Little Light Reading
I came into my room to find that Max has been reading Tony's flight manuals (again)! He really loves looking through them. He and Buzz must have been doing this sometime today when I didn't notice.
And here is another view of the reading nook off of our new master bedroom. The master bedroom has way more space than it needs, but...it's fun.

The Last Few Days and More of Ryan's Cuteness
The last few days have been fun except for poor Ryan being sick. I have washed his bedding many times, poor guy! He was doing better yesterday, but then started vomiting again.
This is him in all his cuteness yesterday.
We had a short and sweet visit from cousin Becky and her friend with the hopes to see them on Monday too, but we're going to have to reschedule our photo shoot/visit now. It's always good to see Becky though! Last night we went to an Elder's Quorum BBQ. We're really loving our new ward so far! After that I went to a fun girl's night out which was GREAT and was a nice chance to get away from sickness and washing. Good food and good times at the Claim Jumper!
Now Tony and Max are heading to Oregon for just one night instead of us being able to do the family weekend down there. We're hoping our littlest guy gets over this bug soon!
Here's a video where you can tell he's not feeling his best.
