Time is flying by! Ryan is mastering his newborn skills. He is nursing like a champ. So well in fact, he gained 3oz in 2 days! The normal rate is .5oz/per day. He lost a touch more weight than what his doctor likes to see so we were watching his numbers closely. My milk fully came in and he is back on track now….phew! He has managed to pee on Daddy a couple of times already but so far has missed me He also has a pretty powerful digestive track! You can hear him farting when you are in a different room than where he is.
Ryan has DJ’s sleeping style. He is going down for bed around 1-3am and then sleeps for 5 hours. He wakes up for about an hour to be nursed and heads back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. I am very thankful for this!!
His furry friends – Oscar, Charlie and Colten are getting used to him. Oscar now knows to stay out of the nursery and bassinets, at least when we are near by. Charlie is less afraid of Ryan and now is able to be in the same room. He hid for the first couple of days of being home. Colten has given Ryan his fair share of puppy dog kisses! Colten is definitely struggling to get used to this new schedule. He is used to sleeping all day and night and now…..not so much now! The other night, he headed up to his bed about 2 hours before DJ and I went to bed. It was he first time ever Colten has gone to bed on his own!
Grandma Judy, Rick and Uncle Josh came to visit today. Ryan enjoyed them! He graced Josh with his vibrating diaper trick Ryan was quickly passed back to me for a fresh diaper.
The kid is calling for dinner #5 . We will try to add some more pictures in the next couple of days.
