Time with Mommy

I just cannot help it, I do not want to put her down. Last night I fell asleep like this with Ryan

and apparently she fell off my chest at some point and rolled onto the couch. Definitely one of my biggest fears!! Luckily Bill was right there to pick her up and she never skipped a beat of sleep.
Things are going great around here. We are just loving every moment with this little butter bean. On that note, I do not know why I am calling her a butter bean (actually I do, I blame it all on my sister, she always comes up with crazy/creative names for her dog and then I somehow pick them up). Well, the other day Bill came home from lunch right when Ryan was waking up and I said, "Well hello my little butter bean!" This is a common phrase with her. Bill quickly said, "Do you ever call her Ryan? I do not want her thinking her name is butter bean!" So I have made it a point to start calling her Ryan now, but secretly she is still my little butter:)

We are also trying to do more tummy time a day, and well let's just say Ryan is not a fan. I was told by my cousin to always talk to babies, read them books, and have a lot of tummy time. So, I am taking care of the first two, but the third tends to lack- because she hates it! See below:








I know some of you may be saying, what in the world is that child wearing? Well, I have not bathed Ran in a while, so it was time for a bath. I have been bathing with her, which has been so much fun; but this morning I woke up with a 100 fever, so I opted to just put her in her own tub. Anyways, she LOVES the sound of the running water. I mean this child is part fish, she wants to go under water, she loves swimming around- it's hilarious. So during her bath today the water all of the sudden got cold and it would not get warm again- all of this happened right when I was shapmpooing her hair. So of course, mommy panicked because I could totally tell she was cold. So after pouring soap water in her eyes and mouth, I finally finished up. When all was said and done, I could not put her in normal clothes, I had to put her in a nighty! SO, the candy cane outfit is her nighty- not something you will find her in everyday!

you call her whatever you want!!! first of all, you're the mama and you do what you want (thems the rules). second of all, she'll know her name is ryan because she's not retarded. :) jacks is very clear on his name, even though he's been called buddy and/or punchy most of the time.
i can't wait to see that little butter bean again!!!

With all that tummy time, she'll be holding her head up in no time! Your cousin is very wise. :-) Ryan is precious. I can't wait to meet her! I know she and Bella will love playing together when they are old enough to play together. Love You!
