This may not look like a big deal to you, but it is. This is Ryan lying on his side. He got there himself! He hasn’t quite figured out how to move his big ole’ arm out of the way, but rolling to his side is major improvement.
I told you the other day I am working on teaching Ryan to give me high-five. We’ve been working on it all week. Thursday afternoon Natalie did something great and I said, “Natalie, high-five.” Well, she left me hanging so I said ‘high-five’ several times with my hand out. After about the third time Ryan started hitting my hand with his and smiling very big. I got a kick out of it myself. So two weeks home and we can put check marks in both the high-five and rolling progress categories.
And for Kristen, FKA anonymous, here is your weekly fix:

I Love seeing this! i used to have to work for hours and hours with pt and ot with my sweet Charity and people would look at me like i was crazy for how excited i would get over the little things! Rolling to his side is awesome!! Ryan in truly one of Gods miracles!
That’s excellent! I’m sure you are tired of the questions, but does Ryan have to wear anything special to protect his heart now? I know you had mentioned a ‘turtle shell’, but wasn’t sure if he was already wearing it. Will the rolling over be the start of needing it? Just curious…
Wonderful news! Way to go, little man!
Way to go, Ryan! He looks so happy being home.

What an adorable doll baby! I’m sure you’ll be seeing alot more progress in the home setting than you ever would have in the hospital setting. High five, Baby boy!!
Seeing Ryan in the comfort of his own home is BEAUTIFUL! My mom told me that he was going home and I was so excited for you.
Your little Ryan is a precious and adorable child – made fearfully and wonderfully.

What a cutie! I remember when my youngest was learning to roll over at Christmas a couple of years ago, and we kept cheering for her!
