You would think that since I’m at home all day long that I
would have all sorts of time to do things. Well guess what folks, that’s not
the case at all! :)
And what’s worse is that my time with Ryan is flying by and soon I’ll have to
go back to work, super yuck!
Anyway, with my griping now over, it’s time to go through some of the milestones that Ryan, Dave, myself, and the rest of the family have had over the last couple of weeks. So, here they are:
- Ryan was baptized! It was such an awesome
experience and all of our family and friends were there. My brother Craig was
his godfather and Emily, Dave’s daughter, was his godmother. The mass was very
beautiful and the party after at my parent’s house was great. Thanks to everyone
who attended!

- I got my sense of smell back!
Sure, this might sound pretty trivial, but it’s been pretty crazy for me
because of everything I can smell again. I had no idea how much I couldn’t
smell things until I could start smelling them all again. Some pleasant things
I’ve encountered so far are Dave’s cooking, the flowers outside, Ryan’s cute
baby smell, fresh brewed coffee, and baked chocolate chip cookies. Some
horrible things I’ve smelled so far are Ryan’s gross poop diapers, the skunk
outside, garbage, and bad perfume!
- Ryan kinda slept through the night
a couple of times! I say kinda due to the fact that it wasn’t the whole night
that he slept, just part of it. For the past few nights, he’s been sleeping
about four or five hours straight. Hopefully, the trend continues and he
eventually gets up there to like six or seven hours, that would be so
wonderful!
- Speaking of sleep, we’ve figured
out a sleeping schedule that let’s both Dave and I get more sleep. The thing
is, more doesn’t necessarily mean enough sleep and there’s been times where we’re
like the walking dead. We’re getting through it though and what I’m taking from
it is that what doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger! Hear my roar!
- I worked out for the first time!
It was both fantastic and horrifying. I mean, it felt great to get moving
again and workout, but then it was not so great when I couldn’t breathe and wanted to stop
after like five minutes. Oh well, baby steps I guess.
- Ryan ate rice cereal! Yes, the
little guy is only seven weeks old, yet he has such a super huge appetite that
we had to try something to fill up his little tummy other than formula. He
totally likes it and it’s so cute when he eats it! It’s like, num, num, num…rice
cereal all over his face and then eventually, he swallows a little bit. Dave
and I feed him together because it’s definitely a two person job!
- I’ve managed to figure out how to
go grocery shopping and run errands all on my own with Ryan in tow. It’s a bit
of a chore since his car seat is so freaking heavy! So my game plan at every
store we go to is to park next to a cart rack with carts in it (because if
there are no carts, what good would that do?), get a cart, put Ryan in said
cart in his car seat, and then head into the store. We’ve been to all sorts of
places together and now when he gets fussy at wherever we might be, I either
bust out the nookie or the bottle and we’re good to go!
- Ryan has out grown some of his clothes! I knew it was going to happen and the fact that it’s happened this quick is pretty crazy! We now have a box for all the stuff he can’t wear anymore and plan on donating it to people in need.

| Scooch, scooch, scooch! |
- The little guy has started to scooch across the floor, can almost roll over, moves his arms and legs like he's swimming, and with some help, can stand up. Granted with the standing, he can’t do it on his own, however, his little legs are super strong. Basically, he just stands on my lap while I hold him and looks around. It’s cute!
- I’ve learned how to cook and make Dave dinner now and again. Tonight, I’m trying this crazy pasta bake thing that I’m going to create from scratch, we’ll see how it turns out!
- Ryan now smiles when he’s happy and has all sorts of facial expressions from grumpy face to pouty face to what the hell are you doing face to the I’m a cross between being happy and not happy and the I’m tired face, but don’t want to go to sleep! It’s interesting to see the little man he’s becoming and how expressive he can be. I just love being able to watch him and take it all in!
