Rylie and Ryder
I’ve been meaning to update for so long, but with two kids it seems like everything gets done in slow motion. After 6 1/2 weeks I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of taking care of two little munchkins.
Where do I even start??? Well, Ryder was born on 9/12 at a healthy 8lb 11oz, 21 inches. Since the beginning, he’s been a good eater and an awesome sleeper! On good nights, he can go for 7 hr stretches. It’s a blessing, yet painful for me (since I breastfeed). Rylie acted up a little in the beginning, but she’s her happy self again. I don’t think it was jealousy she was experiencing, but she just wanted to do everything her little brother did. For example, she went through his clothes and wore his socks and onesie one day. Yup, she squeezed her 3 yr old self into a 3 month onesie. Even now I sometimes see her trying to copy him, but I think it’ll pass in time. Overall, she is an awesome older sister and has so much love for Ryder. I hope their relationship continues this way as they get older.
Moving onto some pictures of my loves
I love these next two.
