Ryan is such a great addition to our family; it’s like he’s always been here. Everyone’s adjusting well to him, especially Nicky. He loves to hold Ryan every day and help with things Ryan needs. We couldn’t feel happier!
Ryan still only gets up once in the night to eat, and that’s been pushed later and later; he gets up around 6am now and then he’ll go back to sleep until 8 or 9am! It won’t be long until he’s sleeping in his own room. There’s no sense in moving him while we still get up in the night, but I don’ think it’ll be much longer.
Ryan is definitely a good baby. Nicky hardly cried when he was little, and Ryan cries even less. He pretty much only cries if he needs something, like a diaper change or food.
He’s huge, now, too. We’ll have him weighed at his 2-month (!) pediatrician visit on Wednesday, but I bet he’s already to 14 pounds. He’s been in 6-month clothing for about two weeks already! He’s also in the larger-sized swaddle blankets at night.
Ryan is also more awake these days. He still sleeps a lot, but he’s definitely got more time where he’ll play and smile. He’s very content just laying either on his back or his tummy on a blanket and looking around. He’s starting to enjoy the play gym a little bit more now; I think it was too much stimulation at first. Now, he likes to hear me sing to him and he does well when we read books with Nicky.
My babies are growing so quickly. Every day, I can’t believe how blessed we are to have such beautiful and healthy children!
