What a Difference 6 weeks makes.

Rylan is developing a little personality, he smiles when he sees things he likes, and pouts when he wants attention from mommy or daddy and I think he tries to talk. At times he seems like he's trying so bad to tell you something. He's also learning to wave and he is beginning to stand and bounce much more frequently. He has really good head control now too. He holds his little head up so well, I'm so proud.

Where has the time gone. It feels like just yesterday I was holding him in the hospital in dispelief that they would really let me take this little guy home. I remember thinking "how will I ever know what to do, and when to do it". They teach you all these things in pre-natal classes and give you all these books to read, BUT you forget it all when he cries for the first time and have to start to do all those things you learned. It seems so weird having to remember the checklist of things to check every time he cried. Everything just seems second nature to me now. I pretty much know when he's hungry, needs to be changed, burped, needs some play time or just wants to be cuddled. (accept on those fussy days, when nothing makes him happy)

What a wonderful thing to be a MOM!

DAD's are wonderful too.... Here Rylan is having some fun with daddy : ) Aren't they so cute!

My ADORABLE little munchkin

Cinema Under The Stars

It was a nice surpise to have Lisa (Justin's Mom) ask to take the baby for a few hours so we could have a break. So Justin and I went on our first ever date since the baby has been born. It was super fun cuz Robyn, Jay, Ali & Taylor all came too. We went to the discovery harbour and watched Curious George on a big inflatable screen they had. It was pretty right by the marina, to see all the ships. We had a blast, BUT I missed my baby so much. I kept asking Justin if we should call and check on him... I'm so one of those mom's HE HE HE
Anyway here are pictures of our fun filled night

Rylan and Daddy (and Mommy)

This is Rylan playing a game daddy invented called "Rocket Ship". Rylan loves it (it helps him get rid of gas) he gives big smiles when he play's it. Mommy tried to play BUT daddy does it best.





















This is Daddy teaching Rylan how to sit on his own. For being only 5 weeks old he sits still for pretty long (only a few seconds) before he tumbles to the ground : )


























And last but not least, here's mommy and Rylan cuddling (Thats what mommy and Rylan do best)

Rylan's Visit With GREAT Grandma

On Monday my wonderful Aunt Carolyn drove down to visit so my Grandma could get to see the baby, and she graciously took us on some much needed errands we needed to run. Thanks so much Aunt Carolyn. : )













Well before we went out, my grandma said that it was too cold out and insisted that Rylan needed some socks and a hat. After MUCH disscusion on how a hat and socks were not necessary (if the litte guy can live in our igloo of an apartment the outdoors is fine for him), I finnaly gave in and went to go get something for him to wear. Anyway I looked and rememberd we got these cute little slippers for him and a little hat with ears, he he. He's such a cutie.



















Also, on Tuesday I went to my mom's group and here are the most adorable pics that I shot of him while we were playing and singing nursury rhymes. (Ok, the last one he's about to cry but he's still so cute even when he's crying)

My little man has gotten so BIG
