My Life


Thanksgiving 2006

Here is a full picture of his costume....look at his tail ! And Rylan and I together before Halloween.

Look at my big boy sitting up by his pumkins....He had a good time lastnight. He feel asleep for awhile in the stroller, but once we got home...he was wide awake. He just played and played. Daddy let him try a sucker...he did not like the strawberry one.

Rylan at Boo
at theZoo.
I took some
pictures with
my cell when we where trick-or-treating at the zoo.

Here are some pictures of the family at the "Pumkin Patch" Rylan helped mommy pick out his first pumkin. For Halloween he is a dalmation puppy. We went to Boo at the Zoo last night. Everyone loved him. I will get better pictures of him in him costume tonight when we go trick-or-treating.

Here are some pictures of Rylan in his Cowboy outfit from GeGe. He now loves to play peek-a-boo. He will jump when I pull myhands away...then he will just laugh. He still loves his bath...he has figured out how to splash. I can not keep him still in his tub ! GO COWBOYS!

This picture is of Rylan getting ready for church, again. He is such a big boy. Look at his boots...arent they cute. He is very good at church, he sleeps through it everytime.

Rylan has finally got the hang of rolling over. Of course, he will only do it when HE wants to. Not when mommy wants to show him off. He has also found his feet. I can not keep socks on him because he will pull them off. This is a picture of him sitting like a big boy...look at how big he is.

Hey everyone....make sure to look at this video I created. It is just a look back to when Rylan was first born....til now. He has sure changed.

My Sweet Angel

We took Rylan to the doctor for his 4 month check up. He is now 13 lbs 3 oz and 25 inches long ! He is growing up so fast. He will just talk and talk and talk. He loves for anyone to listen. In the morning when he gets up he will talk to his mobile before he realizes that he is hungry....then he starts to cry. It is sooo cute to listen to. I love waking up to his sweet voice.

Look at my big boy ! Isn't he so cute !

This is a picture of Rylan and mommy getting ready for church. He did great! On Monday, we take him to the doctor to make sure he is feeling better...and to see how much weight he has gained. He is rolling over, he has done it twice.

This is a picture of Rylan's first day at the park. He slept through the whole day !!! Well we just got back from Texas for a week. It was great to see everyone and let everyone meet Rylan. GeGe and Nana got to watch him all day when I went to the lake with my dad and brothers. It was very hard on me...that was the longest Rylan and I have been apart. The week went by really fast though. We are glad to be home so we can get into a routine again. But once we got home, Rylan started sleeping through the night.....! I guess he was worn out from the trip.

We took Rylan to the doctor on Wed. and he is now 11 lbs 10 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. He is now smiling and recognizes people. Around 7 am he just wants to talk and smile. He has found his hands...so they are always in his mouth. We went and had family pictures taken before Caitlin and Cade left. They turned out great. Here is a great one of Rylan.

Rylan's first 4th of July! We had a neighborhood block party, so he was passed around for everyone to hold him. He pretty much slept through it, but he got to see some fireworks at night. He is my little USA baby. Can't wait to see everyone at the end of the month.

Aww...look at Daddy and Rylan sleeping together. Every morning when Daddy gets home, he puts Rylan in bed with him. Aren't they sweet?

We took this picture the other day. I just love it. Look at their noses, they are exactly the same. My kids, they sure are beautiful. In the next couple of weeks we are going to go get professional pictures done. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Caitlin and Cade like to help give Rylan a bath. So we get all three in the bath together..so cute. Caitlin washes his body and Cade likes to put soap on the washcloth. Rylan likes it too, can't you tell.

Rylan just loves bath time. He totally relaxes and goes to sleep. He likes the water very, very warm

and loves his head being washed. But as soon as we take him out...he starts screaming !

I can not believe how much he has changed. The kids just love holding him. They sit by him just holding his hand. Now they are asking for a baby sister.....haha.

We took Rylan to the doctor for his check-up. He now weighs 8 lbs. 10 oz. and is 21 1/2 inches long. The doctor said he is doing great. My baby is growing up so fast. This Sunday he will be a month old...!! I look at him everyday to see what else is changing with him. He is such a wonderful baby. I will post pictures later.

Daddy went to the airport tonight to pick up Rylan's brother and sister, Caitlin and Caden. I can not wait to see their reaction when they see him for the first time. I will keep everyone posted with new pictures of the kids with Rylan.

Tonight I was putting on one of his sleepers that he wore at the hospital, that was way too big, and now it is too small. I can not get over how much he as already changed and he is not even three weeks old! I hope he does not grow up too fast.

I thought my life was complete...then I saw my son for the first time. I could never began to put into words how or what I feel for him. I look at him and see perfection. I think we created this beautiful life. I will miss feeling him growing inside me..but I can not wait to experience all the joy we will have as a family, with him.

Rylan was born on May 25, 2006 at 3:31 pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is our gift from above. He has brought so much to our lives, more than we ever thought possible. He has been such a joy to watch him grow and change everyday.

Rylan looks just like his daddy !
