a little update!
Riley is now 7 weeks and 2 days old! She's a growing fool!! We had her weighed last Thursday... up to 8lbs 13oz! This week she is really smiling a lot and starting to "coo" too. SOOO cute!! If we play with her paci near her mouth, she will lick it and smile and coo. It's so funny! I'm in love. It's true. Head over heals, do stupid things type of love!
She has quite the adventure coming up... this weekend is my family's Christmas party and that is always a real comedy show, to say the least. At least this year I have a cute little baby to show off. I'm a little bit worried about everyone wanting to touch and hold her since it is cold & flu season. EEK!! It'll make Ryan more crazy, though... seeing as how he is a bit of a germophobe and hypochondriac!! I'm sure he'll be diagnosing her with all kinds of diseases by Sunday. HA!
With us... not much is going on. I'm working a bit now. I hate it. My favorite days are the ones that are just me and Riley. I get much more accomplished on those days. I'm DREADING going back to 5 days in January. But alas, bills must be paid. At least I get to take Riley with me. I don't think I could drop her off at daycare. Ryan is working in his new position and doing great. If only it came w/ a significant raise. Now that would be glorious. He hasn't had many late nights so far, so that is nice!!
Anyways... I'm going to go relax before the Poops wakes up and wants to eat again.

she's growing!!
My little girl is getting sooooo big!!! She was 6lbs 9oz when she was born and had gone down to 6lbs 2oz by the time we left the hospital. At her 1 month appt on 11/21 - she was already 7lbs 15oz! Yesterday, I took her to the lactation center to have her weighed... she's up to 8lbs 13oz already!!! She's a growing fool!! Now... if she could focus some of that growing energy into her hair, we'd be in business!! However, she's still not even as Ryan was when he was BORN!!
She's smiling so much more now and starting to coo! I love it. She's just growing up so fast! Haha. She even slept in her crib for the first time the other day! Currently she is napping away in there right now. This is just a daytime thing for now... I'm not ready to move her at night yet. Probably after the holidays we'll start in there at nights. Oh geez... I don't know. It's just so fast! haha.
Riley snoozing in her crib for the first time. 12/5
November 4th... first time in the swing! 13 days old
Today (12/7) in the swing! 6 weeks 4 days!

what happens when Riley DOES sleep!
Well, yesterday after Riley's 1:30 feeding until midnight, I TOTALLY messed up her sleeping due to dr's appt, errands, Andy's birthday celebration... I mean really... the kid is very dependent on her schedule. Ok, I am very dependent on her schedule... however, it works well. I have a happy baby... Anyways. I thought we'd be DOOMED last night with this over tired baby. I fed her in hopes that she'd fall asleep eating. not the case. She hollered while Ryan held her for about 15 minutes, then I got her and calmed her down and she was out by 12:15... kid slept until 6:15 w/o a peep! Then she went right back to sleep and slept until 9:30 when I WOKE her up! Today she went down for all (but one) of her naps w/ no problems! Laid her down awake, but tired... and she was fast asleep w/in 5 minutes each time! maybe a little fussing, but not enough to even warrant it being called a 'cry'!! For her nap/bed at 7:30, she fought it a little bit, but the poor thing had gas and so her belly just hurt. Now my sweet princess is snoozing away (what I'll be doing in a few). My well rested baby was so much fun today!!! She was so happy and just looking all around!
How I found her this morning...
Ryan made her have pouty lips, in her sleep...
Big Smile!!! First one caught on camera! She loves when Ryan tickles her chin
Big Stretch!
How I found Riley on Friday morning - first I was scared, then I laughed!
