October continued....

So, after I got back from my girls weekend we took Ryker to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He has had non-stop ear infections for about 4 months now. As soon as he gets off of his antibiotic it comes right back. He told us we needed to have tubes put in so that the fluid could drain and he wouldn't be sick quite so often. On Thursday the 29th we took him in to get it done and (luckily) the procedure was very quick and so was the recovery. We did it just in time, the Dr. told us that he had to drain a lot of fluid since he was getting another ear infection. Now he is running around at full energy and causing mischief wherever he goes. After we got home from the hospital I made one of the big Mom mistakes. I thought I could cut his hair by myself!

AFTER

That's right, I put the wrong guard on the clippers and shaved him bald. There's a little peach fuzz but you can't see it because he is so blond!
This didn't stop him from being the cutest little monkey (in my opinion) on Halloween! Thank goodness his costume was warm!




We went to my Mom's old ward so that we could Trunk or Treat with cousins Rylee and Parker


Grandma Debby loved getting to some of her grand kids in costume. She really is missing all the out of state kids though!


Out little family

Ryker had so much fun and stopped at all the cars to say "boo"


Then we ended the evening at Grandpa and Grandma Payne's so that they could see Ryker all dressed up too.


Even though it has been a crazy month, it's been a lot of fun and I'm so thankful for my family and friends that are there for us every step of the way!
