I'm such a dork

I was laying in bed with Ryenne earlier today and a big pile of laundry was in the middle of the bed. Chico was on the other side of the laundry and started scratching himself, which in turn, shook the bed. I thought we were having another earthquake!! hahahaha... I'm such a dork.

Loungin...

She's Eating!


Ry has been staring at us while we eat so I asked the doc about starting her on Rice cereal. I actually started before the doc apt, but a very soupy mixture. Anyway, she LOVES it and eats so well from the spoon! She gets so happy when I bring her little bowl and spoon out.

Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On

We had a wild morning yesterday! We had a 6.6 earthquake at 7:08am. That was the first time Peter has experienced anything like that. I wasn't really concerned about the quake itself, but more so, if a tsunami would be following. So after the shaking stopped, we grabbed the dogs, and me, Peter, Ry and the pups headed for higher ground.

The electricity was down, and all the radio stations were down so it was very scary to not know what was going on.

When we got the all clear that no wave was coming, we came home. Boy what an interesting day!!!

She Did It!!!

She was actually a good, happy baby when Grandpa Eugene watched her last night! Usually she screams and cries the entire time I'm gone and won't take a bottle. But a friend of mine said to switch to a size 2 nipple and try the bottle made by Avent. Well it worked cause he said she drank all 5 oz of milk and even the 3oz of formula I left for just in case. Usually she'll drink only an oz out of the bottle and just get mad.

So hopefully we've now found the trick and she'll be easier for the grandparents to watch. Yay!

Happy 4 Month Birthday Ryenne!



These were taken on the 5th - her 4 month birthday! She was such a good girl and gave me beautiful smiles!

Today we went swimming over at Martin and Debbies house and had dinner and hung out. Ryenne just loves being in their pool. So cute.

Movin On Up!



Ryenne is movin on up... in diaper size that is! Hard to believe my little Ryenne Pepper now fits into size 3 diapers!!! I can't wait to find out what she weighs on the 12th.

She's turning 4 months old on Thursday. Gosh time sure flies!

We had an amazing moment yesterday - I was singing her Twinkle Twinkle and she started singing with me. It was so awesome. I just hugged her so tight. I'm still amazed that she's finally here with us and so thankful. Being a mom to her is definitely my greatest accomplishment in life for sure. I'm in awe of her all the time - sometimes she just takes my breath away - as corny as that sounds.

I took her to the beach the other day and she went swimming in the ocean for the first time. She loved it! It was a beautiful calm late afternoon, and she also liked putting her hands in the sand.

She's starting to realize more and more what her hands can do. She can pet Chico and Dexter, and she takes major interest in them when they're sitting next to us on the couch. She even grabbed Chico's tail!

I'm so excited to bring her to the mainland next month. Take pictures in the snow, have her meet her Great Grandparents.... it'll be so much fun! Can't wait!
