My bundle of JOY!

The latest with us....we've been trying to get Ryder onto some what of a schedule over the past few weeks. The feeding schedule is working out great...7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm and then whenever in the middle of the night...usually 2-3ish..then he usually wakes up at 6 or so but I don't feed him until 7 unless he's screaming. One night this week he slept from 10-4:30am and that was heaven! But unfortunately it was only that one night! Hopefully he'll drop that middle of the night feeding soon. I'm still pumping religiously (he's not a very good nurser..doesn't latch right and I don't have much milk..not a good combo) which is slightly less miserable than it was in the beginning..we'll see how long I can keep this up. If only formula was free...
So I'm a little obsessive with the camera these days....good thing for digital! Ryder is soooo much fun and has brought so much joy to our lives over the past 8 weeks! If I could skip the pregnancy part I would want another one soon!
As you can see, Ryder loves to have his hands by his face

Taking a nap in the crib...something he rarely does! usually it's the swing or the boppy

He's turning into quite the chunk these days- I'm loving the rolls on his thighs and his chubby little cheeks!
Above, he likes this new position of sitting in my lap facing outwards....he's really intrigued by the TV too...maybe I should be worried?!
Such a happy baby!

Born Alive

I'm not usually one to watch videos posted on facebook but I watched this one as I held my precious little sleeping baby in my arms and wow.....talk about some tears....and talk about conviction- besides pray about it every once in a while I do so little as a believer for the abortion issue. I hope I will now.

Growing up way too fast!

Ryder is gaining weight like crazy and doesn't even feel like a fragile newborn anymore! I can't believe how quickly it is flying by....everyday is just more and more fun...his little personality is really coming out and i'm just so in love with him! Happy 7 weeks little man!

Smile!

Ryder has had some smiles here and there over the past few weeks but we were never sure if it was the real thing...but today there was no doubt! Happy 6 weeks little buddy!
