Since it's been a while since we last posted something, here's what's new. Rhylan Lewis James was born on May 16, 2011 at 9:30am via C-Section. He was 9lbs 12oz and 21" long.
Ella met her baby brother in the afternoon that day and although she was nervous at first, she has grown to be a loving and caring big sister. She's helped me with getting a new diaper and bringing the wipes and changing pad over and loves touching his hair and giving him kisses! :) Since Rhylan was born, the only issue we've had is his weight gain. He lost 1 pound while in the hospital and although he gained about 4oz after we brought him home, we've had to bring him back to the doctor's twice for weight checks. At his last visit on Tuesday, he gained 6oz. So currently he weighs 9lbs 6oz. We have to go back again this Tuesday for yet another weight check, but hopefully after that we'll be good to go until his 2 month appointment in July.
As for Ella, she is 20 months old today (crazy that she'll be 2 years old in 4 months). She's talking and "singing" a whole lot and loves being independent - especially when we go out for walks! We're going to try moving her in to a toddler bed this summer, so we'll see how that works out for us! :) After that, we'll start the potty training!
Other than that, I'm out of work until August 29 and Mike will be starting his summer vacation in 2 weeks!!! We're going to NC mid-July and are hoping to go to Maine the 2nd week in August! Definitely looking forward to our vacations and time off together!
Anyway, enjoy the pictures and videos!
Love,
Vickie, Mike, Ella and Rhylan
