Happy Two Months

Ryan turned two months old on Saturday, August 15! He is growing so much! He is just so precious and we are enjoying every moment with him!

Ryan and I before church on Sunday!

Look at that smile! It just melts my heart!!!!

Ryan went to the pediatrician on Monday for his two month check-up and he is growing and developing well!

He now weighs 11 lbs 7 oz and is 22 3/4 in. long!

Ryan - What are you up to at two months?

- You are holding your head up very well! You are getting more control of your head every day!

- You are on a good schedule beginning at 7am and eat every 3 hours during the day!

- You stare at your hands and beginning to clasp them together (the dr. said this is your left side of the brain talking to the right side)

- You still love you bath but hate getting out and hate when we put lotion on you!

-You do not nap during the day and will usually just "cat" nap during the day!

- Biggest News : You are sleeping through the night!!!!

You go down between 10 and 11pm when you finish your last bottle and wake up between 6 and 7am! Mom and Dad are loving this! =)

Blog Makeover

I'm thinking about a blog makeover and shopping around different designs. There is a give away at Once Upon a Blog so I'm entering to win a blog makeover and rotating header package. You can see some of her work on Steece Pieces website.

Happy Friday

I am so excited to say that Ryan slept through the night for the first time last night! WOW! I still can't believe it! He had been waking up at 3AM on a pretty consistent basis but this morning Matt woke up and heard Ryan stirring! He asked me if Ryan had been up during the night and I told him no! It was 6AM!!! I exclaimed 'he slept through the night, yahooooo'! I fed him his bottle and then he fell back asleep until a little before his 10AM feeding! I'm so proud of him and pray he will keep it up!

Isn't he the cutest thing in the world!

Later Gator

He loves staring in the mirror! He has one in the car facing his car seat and he just loves it!

This one is for Nana! She loves the pics of Ryan sleeping!

How's my running? Well a couple weeks ago I noticed pain in my knee. I continued to work out, train through the pain right? After I could barely walk one night I decided it was not smart to keep working out. I laid off of it and waited to see if the pain would subside. Monday I went to the orthopedic doctor and he said I pulled my hamstring and that was causing the pain. I was relieved it wasn't a torn ligament but he told me not to workout for 7-10 days! I think I tried to do too much too soon with my running. Since I hadn't run in a loooong time my muscles weren't used to it. Thus pulling my hamstring. I am pleased to say that my knee feels much better and doesn't hurt. I am planning to get back to the gym on Monday. I'm gonna start back with the elliptical and run only one day a week!

I weigh myself on Friday mornings and I was so excited to see I've lost 2lbs! WOOHOO! I was so thrilled! I've also started a food journal where I write down everything I eat and count calories! Apparently it's working. It helps me stay on track and not cheat.

What we've been up to...

Here's what we have been up to lately in the Deepe household!

Lots of playtime on my play mat! We play on this just about every day!

Ryan loves it! Thanks aunt Rachel! =)

Lots of tummy time!

At first he does great with it then he gets frustrated and starts fussing!

Lots of fun time playing and hanging out with Daddy!

Ryan loves to sleep and spit up on Daddy's chest!

Lots of thinking and spending time in momma's arms!

And of course spending time at the pool!

Ryan loves being outside and getting some fresh air!

He loves a good stroller ride!

Can't leave you without pics of Ryan

Just to see you smile!

We witnessed one of the sweetest things in the world last night...Ryan's first smile!

It was his first smile that wasn't from gas and was in response to us smiling at him! We got it on video but it's too big to post here! It was the sweetest thing to see and just made me fall in love with him more! He is the sweetest baby and is so loving! I could seriously just eat him up!

We are starting to see positive results from the prevacid. He is still spitting up but it's not nearly as bad as it was. And he doesn't seem to be as fussy!

Thank goodness!!!
