Oh Happy Day!

Mike and I woke up this morning around 7:15 (he had a day off from seminary) and I asked him what time he'd fed Ryan last night. He said he didn't. So we both looked at each other and said..."whoa, he went from 7:30pm to 7:30am." What a great boy! Of course, we know he'll still have nights when he gets up, but what a trooper he is!! We have two amazing boys...we can put them in bed at night, walk out and shut the door, and they go right to sleep and stay asleep. What a blessing from the Lord (and I have to say I train it into them right from the start). So all were happy campers in our house this morning.

Way to go baby Ryan...thanks for being such an angel!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Sometimes Mike asks me how I get things done with two kids at home.  Here’s just one example : )….The other day Nicholas woke up itching (because I let him take a bath in the sink and he’d used regular soap and didn’t wash it all off—I was feeding Ryan in the other room and Nicholas insisted he needed a bath).  Anyway, Ryan was crying for his milk and Nicholas wanted his itchies off.  And I’d just gotten out of the shower and wasn’t even dressed yet.  So I put Ryan in his tub, propped his bottle up, and gave Nicholas a quick bath.  Here’s the after picture as Nicholas is helping while I get dressed.  Poor kiddos, especially poor Ryan who sometimes is stuck in the carseat or bouncy with a blankie propping up his bottle.  Thank heavens for formula…I don’t know how you nurse with more kids in the house. There’s no way I’d have time to sit down for 30 minutes every few hours – I think I get to sit down for a max of 5 minutes at a time. But you do what you have to do to survive.  Needless to say, we will all be happy when Dada is done working late.  For now, we’re surviving : ) And thanks to my two sweet boys who make it all worth it!!!

Happy 3 months Ryan

We can’t believe our little sweetheart will be 3 months old on Tuesday, April 19th.  He’s such a joy and a happy little guy.  He’s sleeping well (now he’s going from 7:30pm to 6am – yippee!!)  Nicholas is great with him.  And we threw a picture of Cheerio in the mix just to show that we haven’t forgotten about our “little white poofer.”  Oh, how I love my boys!!

   I just had to take this picture.  Ryan was just hangin’ out in the backyard in his bouncy seat.  Enjoying the nice weather and the leaves on the trees : )

 

WE LOVE YOU BABY RYAN!!!  You’re such a sweetheart!!!
