Are You Ready For Some Football...


Sean is a HUGE Minnesota Vikings fan. Being that we live in Texas, not a lot of the games are shown on TV. Since we have lived in McKinney he has always gone to Hooters to watch the games. You know - beer, wings, football...  Notice above picture - soda, baby, burp cloth! My how things have changed!

Happy Baby!!!




Ryland has finally started smiling at us! It just makes my heart happy to see my baby's beautiful smile! 

4 Generations


This past weekend we headed southwest to the Hill Country to see some family. My Oma and Opa (German for grandma and grandpa) live in Fredericksburg and every year we get together to celebrate everyone's birthdays all at once. It also gives my Opa an excuse to BBQ... which by the way is AMAZING! This year was the biggest turn out we have had yet! While we were there my Oma wanted to take a picture of the 4 generations now that Ryland was here. It was so great to see family and friends and spend a day catching up and visiting with everyone!

Nanny needed!!!


This fancy little thing that my nugget is "chillin" in is called a Nap Nanny. I purchased this after I quickly figured out that Ryland hates sleeping in his pack 'n play and his swing. My other option at this point was to put him in bed with us, which in all reality was NOT an option. I had seen this one day while looking through Pinterest, and then my friend Ashley sent me an email with a link for it the very next day. I saw this as a sign and went to Babies R Us and bought it! Let me say...worth every penny! The first night we had it, Ryland slept for almost 4 hours straight! I almost wrote the people at Nap Nanny a thank you card! It is inclined which helps with his acid reflux, which in turn makes it more comfortable for him to sleep! So, here's to you Nap Nanny...thank you!

1 Month Well Baby Checkup!

Ryland went to visit Dr. Reyes this morning for his one month well baby check-up. We got to visit Dr. Reyes in his brand new office! At Ry's two week check up he weighed 7 lbs. 7 ounces (19 %tile), was 19 1/4 inches long (12 %tile) and his little head was 13 1/2 inches (10 %tile). Today he weighed in at 9 lbs. 14.5 ounces (48 %tile), was 21 inches long ( 29 %tile), and his head measured 14 3/8 inches ( 17 %tile). I knew my little boy was getting bigger! We also had to get our second Hep B shot (which he did not like at all, but got a cute little rubber ducky for being such a good sport!) We also had to put Ry on stronger medicine for his acid reflux, which will hopefully help with his spitting up!
