Baby Diva











While in Lubbock last week, Rylan had his picture made. Maybe I should say pictures...





He hammed it up and looked cute as always for the camera. For those in Lubbock, we went to Portrait Innovations and they did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. All grandmother and Adam could say was "poor kid, you took off all his clothes". My response is "fat rolls are onlyy cute once in your life! Let's take advantage of it now."

Just something to make you laugh

Thank you to my dear friend Alyson C., here is something to make you laugh. It has nothing to do with Rylan, but just like the cute little guy, it will put a smile on your face :)

Happy Days

My three boys all enjoying some quality time together!
This week has brought about wonderful new sleeping habits for Rylan. As mentioned in the previous post, he has started to sleep through the night. Pictured here is Rylan swaddled up taking a nap. Starting this past week he has gone down for naps very well. All he needs to sleep is to be swaddled and his vibrating chair...ahhh, if we could all sleep in a vibrating bed!

Hanging out on the changing table is his favorite place to be. Don't know why this is so entertaining but it is a sure fire way to make him smile.


All smiles in an outfit that says "Happy" on the back.



Relaxed after a bath.




The exercise mat! My new favorite toy! He will lay on this for half an hour and entertain himself. He can bat at the toys and will coo and laugh at nothing in particular.





Sleeping Through The Night!!!!

Need I say more?!! No pictures can describe the happiness that we have found in a full night's sleep :)
Tomorrow Rylan will be eight months old. He has been at church with us every night this week and has been an angel. We are so grateful that his reflux has gotten better and he has cried less. Parenting him is such a joy!

My new favorite thing


I am hooked! If you see me around San Antonio with the baby I will probably be wearing my baby sling. Despite the last picture, Rylan really does love his sling. I can take him to church, fix dinner, do chores, attend meetings etc. all with him in tow. He usually falls asleep in the sling and it has a calming effect on him. Besides all that, I don't have to carry the huge car carrier!
My friend Lisa Woods made it for me. She is an amazing seamstress and you can see some of her work at www.DesignsByLisaWoods.etsy.com For any new or expectant moms, I highly recommend the sling!







Rolling Over!







While in Lubbock, Rylan began a new trick, rolling over! He has done it several times but only when he is stretching after he wakes up. At 5 weeks he can roll from his back to front.

More Lubbock Fun

My best friend Sarah and I spotted this lovely mailbox in Lubbock last week. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it with you :)
