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 !
