Baylor 2 months!

BAYLOR RYAN... 2 MONTHS OLD!

Weight - 11 lbs 14oz 


Length - 23 3/4"

Head Circumference - not sure off the top of my head... will have to look later

Clothing Size - Pretty much all 0-3m. Some newborn still fit. Size 1 diapers 

Sleeping - He is still on a very predictable schedule. Bedtime around 7-8pm. Sleeps until 4am, eats, and goes back to sleep until 7:30, eats and then usually stays awake for a little while until falling back asleep around 9-930. He takes 2-3 short 30-45 min naps in the morning and then a long afternoon nap from about 2-5.  

Teeth - nadda


Eating - I have started to exclusively pump instead of nurse due to his acid reflux. I have an over supply and over active letdown and it caused him to choke, gag, spit up and  a lot of discomfort. Once we introduced the bottle at 6 weeks before the DMB concert I noticed he did a lot better. I continued to nurse at night but he recently has been refusing that so we do bottles 24/7. He eats  3 1/2 -4 oz about every 3 hours.

Movement - He has rolled belly to back (on accident) a couple of times. Lots of kicking. Not a fan of tummy time because he just spits up.  

Milestones - He can hold his head up very well, we no longer swaddle at night because he always breaks out of it, lots of coos and gurgles, smiles a lot (responsively), cries when his sister scares him, tracks movement. 

Favorite toys/activities - sleep, eat, poop, repeat. 

Dislikes - Being hungry, spitting up

What we love - What a good, easy, chill baby he is. How much his sister adores him. 

What we don't love - Acid Reflux 

What we're looking forward to- More consistently sleeping through the night and growing out of his acid reflux. 

Ryan's 30th Birthday!

Ryan turned 30 on July 3. This spring I heard about the Indy Brew Bus. I thought it would be a great idea for him and his friends to do. So I emailed a couple of them and scheduled a night out for him. It was on the Friday after the 4th, I went down to the lake with the kids and he went with his friends after work. The bus takes you to 3-4 downtown breweries for samplings and then you can take a growler on the bus with you. It ended up being a lot of drinking. Needless to say since I wasn't home he stayed out until 3am and ended up getting a hotel room to crash at. Thankfully, by the time I got home from the lake he was no longer hungover.

Raegan made him a birthday cake and she was so excited and proud of it.

I can't believe he is 30! He makes me feel so young! 

June recap...

Let me think back to the month of June for a minute and recap what all went on with our family of 4.  Ryan played a lot of golf. He got to go golfing for fathers day and for the BSU football golf outing. I did not get to golf at all. :( For fathers day Ryan got a new iPhone. Good thing I waited until the last minute to figure out what to get him because he dropped his iPhone and shattered it so he got a new one.

At the end of June one of Ryan's friends from high school got married in Sea Island, Georgia. At the last minute we decided he could go to the wedding. Kids weren't invited so I stayed home on my own for 3 days/nights. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Raegan was better behaved than I ever could have dreamed. She didn't go to timeout once and was so sweet and helpful. She got to sleep in bed with me at night too so we got lots of good cuddles while daddy was gone.

Raegan started swim lessons at our neighborhood pool. It has really paid off for her. She is doing so well in the water. She is still taking gymnastics classes too and really enjoying them.

I went to the Dave Matthews concert at Deer Creek with two of my best friends from BSU. We had a great time at the concert and camping. I had to pump and dump in the tent which was a new experience but it was worth it. As always, Dave did not disappoint. It was one of his best shows in a long time. But oh how times have changed. We were back at my house by 630am. We then went to Fort Wayne that day for my mother in laws retirement/66th birthday surprise party that we planned for her.

That was our month of June in a nutshell.

Baylor's baptism

Only 2 months late! Baylor was baptized at our church on Sunday, June 10. We had to do it when B was still little so that he would fit in our family heirloom Christening gown. The gown is Baylor's great great great grandfathers. It is probably around 140 years old. I wore it, my mom wore it, my grandma wore it, Raegan wore it, my sister wore it, Mady wore it and the list goes on. My grandma says that babies need to be less than 10 lbs to fit into it. Raegan was baptized when she was 6 weeks old and B at 4 weeks.  He did great and slept the whole time. Pastor McKenney even let Raegan help. We had a lot of family come and then we had a luncheon at our house afterwards.
