Bath time!

Rylee loves her bath now! I just had to snap a few pictures!

Right before her bath!Oh I just love her cute little bum! And see how strong she is? She is holding her head up just looking around! I just love my little baby girl! They aren't the best pictures cause they were taken with my phone but oh well!

1 month!

She is getting so long! I think she will be tall. :)This is her at 3 weeks with her dress on that Daddy bought her!

Wow, has it really been a month since I had this beautiful baby? She is so much fun!! I definitely can't imagine our lives without her. It feels like she has been part of our family forever. Every month I am going to write things about her so I remember each stage and what she is doing.

- She is SO strong. Really. She can hold her head up and locks her knees in place so she can stand (while holding her of course) and can just about roll over. She could do all this the day she was born. I have a feeling we are going to have an early crawler and walker. YAY!

- She LOVES to eat. I feel like I feed her all day long!

- She is getting so chubby I love it! Her belly is so round and her cheeks are getting so chubby. And her legs! Ah so cute. But she is still wearing newborn clothes! 0-3 month is way too big still.

- She definitely knows who her Mommy and Daddy are. Whenever someone else is holding her and we talk she looks around for us.

- She smiled at me today! I swear it was a smile. Twice.

- She loves to pee when ONLY I am changing her diaper. She never does it to Kelly. And she gets the changing pad cover all wet. I feel like I wash it everyday!

- She loves being naked. Except for when it's right after her bath (which she is starting to love!)

- She doesn't like to lay down like a baby. She likes to sit up like a big girl!

- She loves to snuggle. I hope this lasts forever. :)

- She ALWAYS sleeps with her hands on her face.

- She loves her car seat. If she won't stop crying, we just put her in her car seat and she falls right to sleep!

There are many other things I could write about her but that will do for now. We love having her in our lives! Even being sleep deprived and not being able to shower or get ready most days until late afternoon, I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!

I put her in the same outfit today she wore coming home from the hospital at 2 days old. I should have left it unzipped so you could see the difference in her belly but I guess you still kinda can. She has definitely changed and has grown so much! I bet she is close to 9 pounds now. And she still holds her legs in the air! It's so cute!
I LOVE THIS BABY GIRL SO MUCH!!

1 Week!

I really can't believe it has been a week since our beautiful Rylee joined our family. This has been the best week of our lives! We are so blessed to have had this sweet spirit join our little family. We love her so much and can't imagine our lives without her!

First night home!

First bath!
She loves having her hair washed. A Daddy's girl for sure. She loves her Daddy!

See? Feet in the air!! She does this all the time!

First trip to the doctor!

I don't know why this uploaded this way...weird. But this is her at the doctor on Wednesday, June 30th. She was so content! We ended up having to go to the lab at the hospital to have her blood drawn to get her bili level checked out. She was so good! She kinda whined when they pricked her heel but she didn't even cry! Her level was high enough that we had to get it tested the next day. Still she didn't cry! They even had to prick her heel twice cause the first time wasn't in a good spot and they couldn't get any blood really. Thankfully her levels went down. I just got a call from the doctor today and we have to go get her blood drawn AGAIN tomorrow just to make sure it has continued to go down. Hopefully it will be low enough we don't have to get it checked again and she won't have to spend any time under the lights!

So sweet!Haha I love this picture. She always makes this face it is so cute!

I can't wait to spend many more weeks with this precious baby of mine!!

She is my joy and I love her more than words can describe.
