Rylan Patrick: Early Risers

So...I typically try to avoid telling other new parents this, but Rylan is possibly the best sleeper ever. He normally sleeps for about 9 hours straight at night- which is pretty close to perfect for me! This morning he did decide to wake up at 4:52, but I have remind myself that since I slept all night, I'm still very spoiled! I'm taking the extra time to update the blog with our latest adventures. I've returned to work now (just 3 days a week) and that is going well. We're making an effort to get out and do fun things on the other days.

Rylan and his best bud Lilly. They are actually 6 months apart, but Rylan is getting dangerously close to her size already...He looks a little crazy here, but it's hard to get two babies in one photo!

Rylan and Zulu have finally starting showing a little interest in one another. Zulu kissed him the other day (sorry, it's gross, but it was cute) and last night Zulu was running around and Rylan was LAUGHING for the first time ever. It was an amazing sound!

We went to a Beaver Tailgate Party at the Johnsons! Rylan and his buddy Carson were all dressed in their Beavs gear. #70, Grant Johnson, is from Baker and we are excited to see him play this year!! Here we are with the grammas too!

Sitting up in the "bumbo"

First time swinging....he liked it....kind of.

Just relaxing. He looks like such a grown up kid here so I have to quit staging photos!

We love bathtime! Rylan has discovered himself in the mirror and I have fun with all that hair!

One day I decided to go for a run. I ran out to Grandpa and Geri's house. It seems super far, but is actually 3 miles. It still was the most I've run since I got pregnant. Needless to say, I did walk back.

We took Rylan for his first hike in a awesome backpack we were given...he fell asleep going both directions so we guess he liked it. Hiked to VanPatten lake. I hiked up with him, but was too scared of falling on the downhill, so Jason took him. It does kind of mess up your balance!
