THE TOMASZEWSKI CRIB: April 2009

So its been a few weeks since Easter but I want to update those of you that are still following this blog. We had a fabulous Easter. The family came to our home and we BBQ and had a great time hanging out in the backyard enjoying the warm weather. What made this Easter even better (other than Rylee being here) was that we had about 500 sheep and goats behind our house. It was so incredible to hear them bah-bah throughout the day. Rylee enjoyed her first Easter- she even let me put a bow on her head. She loved watching the older kids gather eggs and they even saved her one egg to find. Here are some pics...

Our Family

A Proud grandpa and a very tired little girl

Rylee sporting her first bow...sooo cute. Too bad it only lasted about an hour. She is just like her mommy and doesn't like bows!

Rylee and Mema

Our baby girl is already 10 weeks old!!! I can't believe it- time is going by so fast and we are enjoying every second of it. I'm sorry for the slow updates but when Rylee is awake I hate wasting time on the computer! But we have had the best month with her. Our days are filled with smiles and laughs, playing and talking, and taking walks and seeing new sites. It is the best life!!!

Here are Rylee's two month stats:

- Weight: 10lbs 9 oz
- Height: 23.25 inches
- Head circum: 37 cent.
- Her eyes are slowly changing- they are blue around the outside and the most beautiful hazel color in the center- a total 50/50 of Chris and I!!! Now it will be interesting to see which color wins :)
- She is smiling more and more everyday. She smiles the moment we walk into her room in the morning and as she drifts off to sleep at night. Every smile still melts our hearts!
- She has started to laugh. She gets very excited and opens her mouth wide and starts to lift up her shoulders- it is the cutest thing ever!
- She has started to enjoy her swing- thank goodness because it makes mealtime much easier. She scrunches herself down to the bottom and loves to stare at the swinging mechanism. She can sit there for an hour without any problem.
- She is enjoying her playmat...she loves to stare at herself in the mirror and smile. Then she starts to grab at the animals and bell.
- She survived her first road trip to the bay area for Jen and Dan's baby shower. She slept the entire way there and most of the way home. She loves her car seat and we are so thankful for that! When she is in her car seat she LOVES to look at her frog, chick and crab that dangle from the handle. She smiles at them, then coo's and grabs them. It is very entertaining to watch.
- She is sleeping through the night. She stills stays up til around 10-11pm (which is very late for mommy) but then sleeps from anywhere between 7-8am!!! I am so proud of her!!
- she hates being swaddled. She loves to stretch out and sleep with her arms sprawled out. She is just like her daddy and needs plenty of room to sleep. I still am obsessive about checking on her because she loves to shimmie herself all around her crib.
- She has found her hands and loves them...she loves to try to put her entire fist into her mouth. We are trying to encourage a thumb or finger but she prefers the taste of her whole fist. :)
- She hates pacifiers and will not take one (mommy is secretly happy about this)
- She loves to watch what everyone is doing and hates it when we put her down for a nap when people are here. She is going to be our social butterfly!
- She is our princess and has stollen our hearts :)

The smile that melts our hearts!!!
