2 Months

Ryleigh had her 2 month check up this morning which meant she got her first shots. No fun for baby or mom. She weighs 11 lbs 2 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. She is growing just like she should be. I can't believe she is already 2 months old.

Ok, Nicole said I was a bad mother for not including a picture on this post. Here it is, just taken today. Yes, she is sucking her thumb and twirling her hair. She will no longer take a pacifier. Dad finally gave in and doesn't pull her thumb out of her mouth anymore. It is adorable now but wont be in the future. I don't know how we are going to break her of the thumb sucking when she gets older. Any ideas??

4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend with lots of family. We decided to bless Ryleigh on the 5th so we had a ton of family in town for that. My parents arrived on their motorcycle Thursday afternoon. On the 4th we went to a parade, had a BBQ and watched fireworks. All of Devin's family came in on Saturday night and we blessed Ryleigh on Sunday. Everyone then came over for dinner. Boy, was it a house full, but we had a good time.

Blessing Day

We blessed Ryleigh in the dress Devin's mom made and
then took pictures of her in my blessing dress.

Happy 4th of July

Ryleigh hanging out at the parade

Shhh...don't tell Daddy I'm sucking my thumb

Mom can tell I'm sleepy when...

I have one hand around my binky and one hand twirling my hair.



She falls asleep like this everytime. Isn't she adorable?

Smiley Ryleigh

I was finally able to snap a picture of Ryleigh
smiling. She does it often but refuses to when
I pull out the camera the little stinker.
