2 weeks have already come and gone. In 2 weeks we feel like she's grown and changed so much. Our neighbors came home with their newborn Gracie this weekend and we couldn't believe how much bigger Rylee was then her. We still think of Rylee being so small (which she is) but she has grown a lot in 2 weeks and that was obvious to us when we saw how tiny Gracie is. We're still not sure who Rylee looks like more and we are thinking she is a pretty good mix between the two of us. We think she has my nose and lips and Brad's eyes. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are really light so she might even end up being a blonde. I think she has Brad's feet too because they are so long and skinny and mine are opposite of that. We just think she is so darn cute and can't stop kissing her soft cheeks.
This week Brad went back to work on Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday she was a little fussy (due to gas, we think) so those days were a little harder for me. Brad gets to come home for lunch so that is really nice and helps break up the day. She had a few tough nights too this week (again, due to gas we think) but the past few nights she has been sleeping great. She goes about 3.5 hours between feedings and she has been going right back to sleep after she eats...which gives us more time to sleep! She continues to eat good too. She still likes to fall asleep while she eats but if I play with her cheeks and hands she'll start eating again. She has been spending more time awake now during the days too. When she is awake she is so alert and moves her head all around to look at things. Everyone keeps telling us that she has a really strong neck for being so young. On another note, Rylee lost her umbillical cord on day 10. There is still a little scab left but that is starting to fall off and heal as well. Now she can wear pants and have a real bath!
In the carseat again...thankfully she likes her carseat!
She still loves her baths, as long as she is not too hungry when we give her one. Then she's a little fussy.
All cuddled up in her blanket and dad's arms.
She loves to sleep on our chests...we love it too!
Rylee and Dad resting on the couch together.
She also loves to sleep in her swing. 
Look at those lips...aren't they beautiful!
Wide awake and playing on the floor!

Beautiful!
Hmm...I'm thinking she's getting a few more of her looks from mom - it's definately the lips! But how could she NOT be beautiful coming from two good-looking people like you! =) Love the pics - can't wait to see you guys and meet Rylee (hopefully sometime this fall in the UP?)
