Lately...

I have been trying to get these videos and pictures posted for several days but it seems like I can never find the time to sit down and finish it. So there is not much detail to this post. The videos speak for themselves. Rylan is very active and loves all his toys. His newest thing is making noises with his mouth as you will see.

Rylan sleeps holding his ears or the side of his face. You can tell when he needs a nap or is ready for bed because he will hold his ears.


New big boy two-piece pajamas. 

He loves his entertainment chair!

We are starting some foods. He got distracted by the camera in these pictures.



Trying avocados this week. Rylan really likes it but it is awful to clean up!
Cool guy! loves to wear his sunglasses

August 17

One year ago today our lives changed forever. I haven't told many people the whole story about how we officially found out we were going to have a baby. I don't normally write mushy blogs so bear with me.

Jordon had gone off to Oklahoma with Cameron for a few days. My mom had come to Lubbock to go to an Elvis concert with me on August 16, 2011. I had a doctors appointment the next day, August 17, 2011. It was a follow up to my yearly check up. I was not certain but thought I might be pregnant and I knew the doctor's office would make me take a test. My appointment was first thing that morning and then I went to work. I had to sit through the whole day knowing and not having anyone to tell because I wanted to tell Jordon in person. The doctor insisted that I take the test strip with me that showed I was pregnant. Kind of gross but I did not know what to do with it so I had that in my purse all day too.

After work I went and bought a TTU baby outfit and wrapped it up for Jordon to open when he got home. Of course they did not get home until about 8pm that night. I kept calling all afternoon seeing where they were and we all know how slow Cameron drives. They kept stopping to site see and chase Quanah Parker. I thought I was going to burst!!!

When Jordon came in I gave him the present. I put a card in it with the pregnancy test strip. His knees buckled and I thought he was going to faint. He did not but came close.

We got to  have the first sonogram on September 2, 2011 and hear the heartbeat. A couple of weeks later we told our families the news.

Happy Half Birthday Rylan!

It is hard to believe that Rylan is six months old now! He has grown and changed so much is such a short amount of time. We never could have imagined how active and what a personality he has now.

Rylan loves to roll around on the floor and look at himself in his mirror. It is kind of a fun house mirror!

more funny faces


the boys taking a nap.
 
Rylan like to lay in the floor and just kick his legs. I try to get video of him rolling over but every time I get the camera or my phone out he stops. 

This is one of Rylan's preemie outfits that he wore in NICU; and it was big on him at first. Now we have the same one in a 6 month size.
The first time we tried on his sunglasses.


Hollywood watchout!

Today we went out in the backyard with Jordon while he gave Abby a bath. Rylan wore his sunglasses the whole time we were outside.
