My precious...

I've been so busy and have wanted to get these pictures up since Tuesday already.  Hope they're worth the wait!  Look how this precious little boy has grown!!  Rylee spent an extra night in hospital with jaundice and Rosie's been very good about keeping him in the sun as much as possible to help him with this.  You can see in these pictures that he's still a tiny bit yellow, but he's doing super well and he should be fine in a few weeks on his own.  Rosie's doing exceptionally well and is taking motherhood in her stride.  Anyway, enough talking, here are the pictures - that's what you're waiting for anyway...

 Tiny, tiny hands...

 And tiny feet.  Rylee's got such long toes.  And look how wrinkly his skin still is...

 

  Rylee still sleeps a lot, which is great for picture taking.  I'm still hoping to get some more snaps of him before he passes this precious newborn stage.  It goes so quickly...

 He wakes up for little bits, I think mostly when I'm annoying him...

 Or perhaps a sneeze...

 But most of the time, he's quite content to just chill and doze...

 I love those cheeks... Rylee, I'm going to be your auntie who pinches your cheeks.  It's just because I love you...

 Sucking his thumb... look at all that soft fur...

 We had him chilling on the couch in his birthday suit, catching some sun.  He didn't seem to mind it at all...

 Look at his long, white eyelashes...

 You can almost imagine what he'd look like if he was still tucked up in Rosie's tummy.  He was only due on the 13th, so should still be in there for a few more days...

 Look how little he is next to my mom's hands.  My mom has pretty hands...

 Just let me sleep for 5 more minutes...

 He does cry sometimes.  He's got a little husky voice, it's very cute...

 And he's got so much extra skin.  When Rosie was a baby, we used to squash her face up like a cabbage patch kid and bite her forehead.  I promise not to bite you Rylee, but I'll probably squeeze you...

 After homework, we popped back in for bath time.  Jake has SO much work at the moment, I can't keep up with him. Rylee's a great excuse to get away from his books...

 Rylee was keen to have his bath...

 Until his mommy wet him and started soaping him up...

 Jake was on hand to watch his littlest cousin pull funny faces...

 Once Rylee got into the warm water, he was a much happier boy...

 Which was not as exciting for his big cousin...

It's hard to believe that 2 weeks ago, we had no idea that this was the little boy who was coming into our lives.  It's even harder to believe how quickly he's stolen all our hearts!!

Love,
