Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

It is hard to believe, but yesterday was Raylees 1st Birthday. She is getting so big! We are now sitting up on our own and when put on all four she just looks at you and grins like " I am not going to do this, but nice try". She is still changing every day, and has a great personality. She is a very happy baby.
Raylee is eating 2 to 3 jars of baby food a day and loves banana puffs. We are still using her
g-tube for her milk, but she will drink water out of a glass (it is so cute!). She is still on her oxygen when she sleeps, but is off of it during the day. We still only have two teeth. I am not sure where the other ones are hiding. She has her 1 year appt tomorrow so I am going to ask about that. Raylee is seeing the Cardiologist from Denver in Gillette July 20th it will be the first time we haven't had to travel to them, so we are excited about that.
As for me I have another test in July for my protein. It has continued to come down and hopefully this will be the last time I have to do anything. I went ahead and had my tubes tied 3 weeks ago, as it has been recommended that I do not carry anymore babies. They have told me that what happened with Raylee will more then likely happen again and they can't promise as good of out come. I am ok with this and in a few years if we decide to have more children we will look into other options.
I hope everyone is having a great summer! We are going to have a barbecue at the ranch for Raylee July 24th at 4:00pm to celebrate the last year. If you would like to join us please make sure I have your address, or just show up! We would love to have you! Thanks for all your support over the past year.

Love,
Kyle, Jane, & Raylee

Hello everyone. We wanted to share some new pictures from Easter! Raylee is doing well. She is changing and growing everyday. She now weighs 15 lbs and is 25 inches long. Raylee rolls over, and is very close to sitting up on her own. She is AMAZING!

We were in Denver last week for an eye check up and the doc says Raylees eyes are looking good.

We thank all of you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

Hello everybody! Our little Valentine continues to amaze us every day. Raylee has two teeth and loves to rub her little tounge on them. She has turned into a little thumb sucker too (it is so cute!). We went to Denver on January 18th and all of her check ups were good. She is still receiving her RSV shot every month and we have been lucky enough to avoid any sickness so far. Raylee weighs 13 lbs 8 oz and is 24 inches long. Her and her Gram are getting along well during the days and now that she is off her oxygen (during the day) that gives Grandma one less thing to worry about gettting around with. She looks even more like her daddy without her oxygen on, still acting like her mom though (thank goodness!) Parenthood is the hardest job I have ever had but the most rewarding! We are so blessed.

Happy Valentines Day to all!

New pics!

Just wanted to share some new pictures!! Raylee Kay just loves bath time!

Happy Holidays

Our first Christmas with Raylee was wonderful and we can't wait to start the new year! I realize for some this update has been a long time coming. These days, I have a lot of things to keep up on and continue to be quite busy! Raylee is now six months and growing fast. Today she weighed 12lbs 4oz as she continues to amaze us! Raylee teaches us things everyday.....patience being one of the biggest lessons so far :)! We will travel to Denver in January to visit Raylees specialists and we pray for positive outcomes.

I have been feeling well and at my last check up my proteins continue to come down so I hope to get a clean bill of health at my appt. in January.

Thank all of you for your continued support, love and prayers. We wish all of you a Happy New Year!

Love,

Kyle, Jane, Raylee Kay

Things have been a little busier since Raylee got home. She has grown so much in the month that she has been home. We were back in Denver last week at a few check up appointments and she is doing great her last weight was 10 lbs 9 oz.. Although we are a little sleep deprived, every morning we wake up we are so thankful to have her home with us. Raylee is really starting to smile and it just melts my heart! She wasn't sure what to think of her bath when we first got home and now she cries when I take her out. Each day is busy with activity as we are all learning new things together. It is a little different then I has imagined, but I am loving it! We will check in next week I will try not to make it two.
