Sleep

Little Riley slept through the night last Thursday night and I thought, "Wow! He's only 7 weeks old and he's already doing it! Reid didn't sleep through the night till 9 weeks and that was because we decided to let him 'cry it out.' Alas, the blissful sleep only lasted 1 night. However, last night he decided to do it again! Maybe it's a sign of things to come! We are loving this little guy and he just gets sweeter everyday. Thank you Lord for this precious baby!

My favorite jammies.
Unfortunately, he's outgrowing them. :(

Such a BIG boy this year!

Reid started his little pre-school (mother's day out)
on Tuesday of this week. Wow! What a difference
a year makes! He looks like such a little boy now compared
to how he looked last year. My how he's grown!
My little man! :)

He did GREAT going into his new classroom with
new friends and ALL new teachers!
He loved his teachers last year and I'm sure he will
love these new ladies. They seem great!
However, he was a little hesitant going into
school today and kept saying on the way there this morning,
"Mommy don't walk out the door at school. Mommy
stay and play with you today." My heart just broke
and I wanted so badly to take him home and let him
play with me! I know this is good for him & he needs to
have some independent time away from mommy, but
it is just as hard for me as it is for him.
I miss him, but I know he will be in the swing of things
before you know it! I have a new little man I'm at
home caring for now and it is fun to have snuggle time
with just Riley while Reid is at school learning
and playing!


Just for fun,
here are a few cute pics from our little Riley man
in the last few days!

Changes...

I can't believe 6 weeks has already gone by with our new little Riley man! He is growing & getting bigger everyday and we are just eating him up! He started smiling and already holds is head up so well for a little newborn guy! So amazing! The fussy baby has finally ended when mommy figured out that he wasn't getting the "hind" milk. Aha mommy moment!
Praise the Lord!

These next 3 pictures were taken at 1 month.

This picture looks just like me when I was a baby!

He's bigger than the teddy bear!

Sweet smiles from our little Riley!

This pic and the next one were taken just 6 days ago.
Amazing how much they change so quickly when
they are so little! Take a look at the next 2
and see the comparison!






These last 2 pictures were taken today.
Happy 6 weeks sweet Riley!
We love you!
