Hi,
We hope everyone is doing well!
We are revamping our blog to include the entire Fontenot family. So please visit often to find out if we are staying out of trouble and what we are up to! We will, of course, keep updating Ryan's progress.
Speaking of, Ryan is almost 15 lbs.!!! He's come a long way since 1 lb. 13 oz. He is doing really well, although September and part of October was rough with illness. But now he is doing better and had his first RSV shot so we hope that helps.
Ryan celebrated his first Halloween on Saturday. The cute little pumpkin outfit he's wearing in the picture is the exact same outfit Alec wore on his first Halloween. Alec really wanted his little brother to wear it. Alec is probably just about on his last trick or treat year. He feels he's getting too old for trick or treating, but not too old for candy! I completely agree.
Lisa is working hard with the retail store, ebay store and website. The holidays are extremely busy, but she really enjoys everything she's doing. It seems there are not enough hours in the day, but she makes sure she's makes time for her 3 boys (hubby included) and football. (LOL)
Joey is busy working on several projects and one of he's in charge of is really close to being completed.
Hope everyone stays well and has a wonderful week!

Update on Ryan
Hi,
I wanted to update everyone on Ryan's progress because he went to the doctor yesterday.
Ryan was 13 lbs. 11 oz. and is 22 inches long. He's still negative in the height category, but his weight and head circumference are almost 5% which is good because that is based on a 6 1/2 month old (not adjusted for Ryan's prematurity).
The doctor was so pleased because Ryan is doing so well. He's been cut back on physical therapy from once per week to once per month. Most of his development is closest to the 6 1/2 month range although one or two things are closer to 4 months (like sitting up and putting weight on his feet). He rolls over, laughs, smiles, "talks" to us (he can say goo, ga, ba) and he is at the early stages of trying to crawl.
We are so happy that he is doing so well! Thank you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
Have a FANTASTIC October!

I have not posted for a long time, but I do have a few quick updates on Ryan......
He's doing fantastic. Yesterday he weighed 13.08 lbs. WOW! The nurse couldn't believe how well he is doing. His oxygen level is great, his color is perfect, he's got baby fat, he smiles and laughs and is doing way better than any of us could have expected!
He is now off of the oxygen and monitor and is doing perfectly fine without them! No more trips to New Orleans.
Ryan gets his 6 month shots and check up this coming week. Can you believe he's already 6 months old? I guess it doesn't seem like that to us sometimes because he's only been home 3 months.
Ryan is doing physical therapy once per week and is progressing very well. The goal is to get him "up to speed" to his chronological age. We work with him at home doing exercises that the physical therapist has taught us. He's doing so well that they may cut it back to every 2 weeks.
Ryan also has a specialist that comes to our house every 2 weeks to check on his progress and he is getting ready to have a speech therapist check on him once a month to ensure that he is progressing as he should.
He does smile and laugh a lot. He seems like a very happy baby. He does sleep stretches of 6-7 hours some nights, so sleep for us is improving. He rolls over on both sides, but does not like being put on his stomach. Unfortunately for him, tummy time is part of our daily routine and exercise. He grabs at his toys, our faces, my hair and can hold is rattles and small toys. He also is starting to babble. He says ga ga or goo goo quite a bit and he also says bayoo alot. We also laugh because when he's hungry and crying it sounds like he's saying "hungee".
Well, I wanted to let you know how Ryan is progressing. I'll have some new pictures to add soon!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
