New Tricks

Okay, I know he's not a dog, but Rylan is doing so many fun new things. Before too long, he is going to be into everything. We have to start baby-proofing soon. First, let me share that Rylan has gained 1 and 1/2 pounds in 3 weeks! He now weighs 14 pounds 4 ounces. Still small but really growing. He loves his food. Not the bottle so much. Please pray that he will drink at least 20 ounces a day. He just doesn't want formula. Not in the bottle, not in a cup, and not even in his cereal. I am trying to sweeten it with applesauce, but I think he knows something is different.

The first of his new "tricks" is his ability to sit alone. It is the cutest thing ever! Here are a few pics of him playing.

Next, we have recently put him in the Baby Einstein exersaucer. He loves being able to twirl and play with all of the stimulating toys. Thanks Uncle John, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Richard! Not sure what the expression is all about.

Here he is after a busy playtime. This is the first time he has fallen asleep while playing.

And he had his first swinging experience this week. Erin kept the Jenkins boys on Monday and Rylan had a blast with the big boys. Now I know what it is like to have 4 kids, if only for a moment. Not ready for that endeavor just yet!
