8 weeks already?

Can it be? Our little peanut is 8 weeks old already? I cannot believe how fast the time has gone, though it is hard to imagine life without her! Rylee is an amazing baby. She is very content and LOVES to be held. We are excited because she is starting to stretch her nights out. She is going between 4.5 - 5.5 hours at night. Yay!

Rylee has done a lot of things already in her little life. At about 3 weeks old we drove down to Salem, OR with my parents to attend a friend's wedding. Rylee did great on the drive and pretty much slept the whole way. On the return trip we stopped in Olympia to go to another friend's wedding. It was fun to catch up with friends and witness new marriages!

We were excited to welcome her cousin, Rhyson James, on Aug. 10. Even though Rylee was a month older, Rhyson beat her out in size and length, weighing almost 9 lbs. It has been fun hanging out with my sister and her kids and between the 2 of us we provide enough baby time for anyone who wants it!

Rylee checked out great in her 6 week appt. She weighed 9 lbs, 7 oz so we are definitely on the right track! She is in the whoppin' 10-25th percentile on all her measurements. :) It was a relief to know she is still eating well and we don't really have to worry about that anymore. The doctor was really cute when he was examining her. At the end he said she looked great but had to double check his list. His reason? Sometimes he just gets too enchanted and doesn't want to forget something :)

I am enjoying being at home though definitely staying busy. I have been able to do a lot for my dad from my computer. I can't work quite as efficiently though...rocking a baby and reconciling bank statements takes a new kind of skill. :) I love being a mom though and every day is a new adventure!
