Seriously, we have the most perfect baby in the world.   He’s sleeping 10-13 hrs a night, usually naps on schedule and lots and lots of smiles!  Dave thinks if we have another  we would surely not be so lucky.  I spend much of my days thanking God for this miracle.  In the last couple of days he has mastered the back to front roll and has been able to switch his sleeping and/or playing positions at will.  He no longer needs to be held most of the time, is more happy playing with his toys, bouncing in his chair- but of course still gets more TLC when necessary.  The kid can eat like a horse.  He’s now taking 4 oz jars of fruits or veges mixed with cereal 2x a day, that’s made breast feeding so much easier.

His most fun moments are bouncing, being chewed on (he laughs hysterically),  having a diaper changed (go figure), kissed on, etc.  Most times I just can’t get enough of him.   Dave is making it home from work earlier these days- wants to see Ryan before his bedtime, and that works out great.  After 5 or so Ry is ready for a change of scenery and I’m so happy to see the 2 of them together.   Dave is still crazy about his son and I imagine this will be permanent, so I should probably just stop mentioning it.   He’s the first to get him out of his crib in the a.m. because he wants some quality time in the morning and he’s normally the one to put him to bed too.

Last weekend we took a trip to the Lansing area for Dave’s annual class get together.  Left Ry with Kim and Mike.  Soooo hard for me, but apparently Ryan lived through it.  This weekend we’re really looking forward to getting to introduce him to  his triplet cousins.  Really looking forward to that and hope lots of family will make it.  Need to buy a new carseat for him as we are kind of having to squish him into this one now that he is so big.  I  estimate 18 lbs and who knows how tall, but 26.5 inches 6 weeks ago.

We have so many good pictures of him now– just need to get David better about posting them!! my project for the week..
