Pediatrician: 4 month check-up

Ryan had his 4 month check-up yesterday! And I left with way more questions than I went in with. It’s not completely the ped’s fault… Ryan decided he wanted to scream (it was past his nap time) and Steve and I could barely hear what the doctor was saying. Needless to say, it cut our question time a little short. Besides, I got the doctor’s opinion on what he thinks we should do… now I just need to

Co-sleeping questions

I couldn’t tell you what we did during the night when Ryan was first born. I can’t remember.

4 weeks with baby Ryan

No, I don’t really plan on updating about Ryan every single week, but I believe we hit a huge milestone today and it just so happens to be 4 weeks since he was born!

HE FELL ASLEEP IN HIS BOUNCERALONEALL BY HIMSELF… and he’s doing it again RIGHT NOW.

Proof:

How adorable are his lil cheeks? Ryan is pretty much the same — can’t sleep alone and loves the milk. But today is giving me hope
