So much for weekly

Work has been out of control.  I still really enjoy my new job and love my new team, but new systems and a crazy market make for very long hours.

But my new team is so great, even though every one else in my area was told that they had to work on Mother's day no excuses, my team, manager included, covered for me so that I didn't even have to log in from home to work.  It was so sweet of them, especially considering they were busy.  But because of them I had a relaxing mother's day spending time with James' parents and Rylan.  Once James got up he came over and we grilled out for dinner.  Nothing extravagant, but just what I wanted.

Rylan had his 6 month check up and he is over 17 pounds, I can't believe it.  The doctor was very impressed with his development; James was near by while Rylan was sitting on the exam table all by himself when the doctor came in.  Rylan stays sitting up on his own so well now, and when you lay him down you can see him trying to pull himself into a sitting position. 

Still no crawling yet, but he likes to have you help him push from a sitting position to a standing position and he will take steps forward if you walk with him.  He also has 4 teeth total now, the top two front ones have broken through.

Last week was my birthday and James and I had both taken the day off.  We decided to take Rylan to the pool for the first time, and he LOVED it.  He was so cute in his swim suit and he liked kicking in his float.  Which by the way, I really like this float, James got it at babies r us for about 15 dollars and it was perfect for keeping Rylan floating with out major effort from me.

Last week was also Rylan first planned night at grandma and gp's.  James had got some friends together to go out and celebrate my birthday and so he set up for Rylan to spend the night over there.  I was surprised, it was a little harder than I thought.  I knew he was perfectly safe and was having a good time, but I missed him.  He is such a major part of my and our life now, so being without him just feels odd.  But he had had a great time and we got him Saturday morning, I was very happy to see him!  It was a wonderful birthday, and so nice to get to spend some time with all my boys.
