Ryan's First Tooth

Finally her first tooth has arrived :) I'm relieved...she has been "teething" for like months now with nothing to show for it and Grandma spotted her first tooth on Sunday Night! My baby girl is growing up :) so bittersweet

Our New House

So we just bought a new house in Overlook in Green Valley :) It's a brand new house - nobody has ever lived in it :) its sooo much nicer and newer and bigger than our little townhome. Mateo says we were having a fisher price house before and now we are graduating up :) We have been moving for the past week and are just about there...I hope to never have to move again for a looooong time!!!

Ryan's 6 month Check Up

Ryan just turned 6 months old!!! I just can't believe how fast it goes by :) I took her in for her 6 month check up yesterday and all is well with her. She weighs about 17.8 lbs and is 85th percentile for her weight and she is 97th percentile for her height! I kinda figured she was tall for her age and I guessed right! Even though both me and Mateo aren't tall at all we both have tall family members...so it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out.
Its now time to start feeding her the solid foods...She hasn't tried much normal food yet but she has had a taste of chocolate from her dad and she seemed to really like that (uh-oh) and Aunt Keilee likes to give her licorice to lick on...
Wondering if I should make my own baby food or what to do?? I'm interested to see what she is gonna like

What's New...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in like forever......We've just been working away and taking care of lil' baby Ryan...she is growing soooo fast I just can't even believe it! She is 5 1/2 months old already :) where did the time go. Here is the newest picture of her! I'll try to be better about posting this year! We are in the process of buying a new home out in Green Valley and are so excited to have a nice & new home! We have outgrown this boat for sure...

Ryan's Baby Blessing

We got Ryan blessed on 10/10/10! My Uncle Randy gave her the blessing and it was so sweet! She looked so pretty in her blessing dress (my mom bought her the dress) We had lots of family attend and also participate! I feel so blessed to have such a great family! :)

Miss Ryan

So my little miss Ryan decided to come a little bit early!!! She just really wanted to be an August baby like her mama ;) My water broke Monday night around 9:00 pm and Mateo was out of town working (3 hours away) So me and my mom headed to the hospital while Mateo started the drive home....kinda frustrating for him as he had just left Monday morning...
I went into the hospital dilated to a 3 and after 9 hours of labor I was still only at a 3......frustrating.......plus her heartbeat kept dropping after each contraction and after everytime I moved positions....So the doctor said we should start talking about having a C-section. This was not something that I had ever even contemplated but I just felt like we needed to get her out asap to make sure she was safe!!! The dr. said I only had about a 1 in 10 chance of delivering the baby normally so as soon as he said that then we pretty much went straight to the operating table...
Now that was definitely something I never want to relive...My C-section was traumatic and very painful and I won't go into detail about THAT right here. But she arrived on Tuesday morning 8/31/10 at 7:24 am! Weighing in at 7 lb and 1 oz and 19.5 inches long! I guess my first question to Mateo was..."whose nose does she have?" lol - I don't remember saying that at all but its kinda funny as we were a bit paranoid about her nose due to our ultrasound pics...
She had to be in the NICU from Tuesday until Thursday :( due to respitory issues from me having the C-section...but she is doing great and we both got to come home yesterday afternoon :)
It's been a long week and I've got some recovery ahead of me but we are both doing better each and every day :)
I'll post pics soon.........
