I've been really bad about keeping up on my blog but the last few weeks have been busy. I have been sick for the last week and a half and have been so busy with work. I can say that the last 6 months have been such an emotionally charged 6 months but I wouldn't trade them for the world. Tony and I are so thankful for how Riley's surgery has come out. The conformers (the plastic thing that was in his nose that kept his nostrils symmetical) were removed yesterday finally. We are excited and plan on having his 6 month pics taken at Walmart to show how different Riley work. Tony and I have also started Riley on rice cereal. For those of you who do not have a baby with a cleft palate, moving to solids is a bit tricky. Because there is no palate, large amounts of food tends to come out the nose. Riley also sneezes frequently resulting in the spray of rice cereal shooting all over me, Riley, and the kitchen floor. I have gotten smarter and will place his bib over his nose when I can tell a sneeze is coming on. My best advice if someone is reading this that is going to have a cleft palate baby.....invest in a ton of bibs!!
In other news, Tony and I got tired of our front yard and so we (or I should say Tony and my dad) redid our front yard. We just got done with it Tuesday which was also Tony's 29th birthday. It looks beautiful. The only pics we have are on Tony's phone so I promise to take pics of what it looks like now and post it on my facebook page shortly.
