*know when your diaper is wet and tell us immediately!
*need your paci to fall asleep but spit it out once you're in dreamland
*like mommy to rub your forehead
*like to take your naps snuggled into the corner of the couch with a pillow up against you
*turn your face into your pillow or blankie to fall asleep

Wow, such a big boy. He is so much more alert now and he stays awake for longer periods too. He laughs all the time and that little dimple just shines! Here's his 8 week old photo shoot in his crib with his lovies.




We love you Ryder man!

My Baby Boy

He's getting so big so fast. He's starting to really interact with us, giggling and reaching out, holding his head up, and standing up!

6 weeks!

It's been 6 weeks since Ryder was born and I can't believe it. He is already getting so big and has such a personality!

At six weeks old, he:
*weighs 12 pounds
*loves his bath
*sleeps through the night in his big boy crib
*makes a fist and locks his thumb between his pointer and middle fingers
*tries to suck his thumb and sometimes he gets it
*cries to be held and loves to be rocked and patted to sleep
*is afraid of the dangly toys you hang on his car seat
*loves his pacifier
*likes to sleep in his zip up sleepers with no feet, it's like a baby in a bag!
*loves to fall asleep against our chests like this:
Hangin' out in his bath seat!


I had my 6 week checkup and everything is back where it's supposed to be and I've lost 43 pounds of the 50 I gained! Woo Hoo!

Here I am 6 weeks ago...

And this is me today...
