Well here we are and it's May already! These pictures are from April, so they aren't too out of date! We don't have a lot of her right now because some pictures (ahem) got deleted on the camera before we could download them. So sad! Reiley is 16 months now & running around and jabbering! She is such a joy! We are just loving all the new words she is saying & helping her discover new things. She absolutely loves being outside, so this summer we will be doing a lot of running to the park, etc.
Her dr. continues to be amazed at how well she has done. He also continues to remind us how fortunate we are because he sees a lot of babies her age that aren't doing as well. I tell him that we know! It's because of all the prayers, praise God! She is going in next week again. He is monitoring her head size to make sure it's not growing too fast. It has something to do with the small brain bleed she had as an infant.
We are all facing a new schedule as a family right now. Reiley definitely feels it too! Loren has started school at the Aviation Institute of Mechanics. It is an 18 month program and he is going Monday through Thursday evenings from 5 - 11:30. He is keeping his job at Choice Books while he goes through school, so this means early mornings on the road servicing! He usually comes home around 2, then does a few things, tries to take a nap & do homework, & then he's off again soon after 4:30. It gets long & lonely for me, but I'm so happy to support him in this! We feel this is what God wants us to do, and it feels so good to be in His will. We also feel a lot of support from our friends & family. Reiley definitely misses her daddy during the week, and that makes it hard! Please pray for us as a family!
