Rylee's 8 weeks old

Rylee is 8 weeks old!!

She is so happy!
Sweet girl!

It is hard to believe that Rylee is just over 8 weeks old. Below is a brief update on where Rylee is at 8 weeks.

-She is a charmer. Loves to smile and coo. All we have to do is start talking to her and she lights up.
- Not sleeping through the night yet. Goes down around 9 and wakes up between 2:30 and 3 to feed then she is out until about 6 for a feeding. Hopefully the middle of the night feeding will be knocked out soon
- Her pacey soothes her which is completely different from Presley.
- She loves bathtime and her big sister
- Is starting to have really good head control. We are working on your neck strength alot with tummy time
- Ry is starting to become coordinated with her hands. They are definitely finding her mouth. If we put something in her hand she will grasp well.
- She LOVES ceiling fans...even when they aren't on. It is hilarious.
- She definitely naps 3-4 times a day. They are starting to become consistent/predictable.
- Working on getting her to nap in her crib.
- Loves her swing and enjoys napping in it
- We moved her from the bassinet at 6 weeks although she would make it back to our bed after one of her night feedings.
- She stayed in her crib all night starting at 8 weeks. I just couldn't let go of her sleeping with me.
- She is getting so big...she is wearing mostly 0-3 months and some 3 month clothing. I was able to get her in a newborn outfit yesterday
- Rylee loves the boujorn

All in all she is a true delight. Her 2 month check-up is soon. I will let everyone know how much she weighs. I am thinking 11 or 12 pounds.
