Where has the time gone?
Yes, I haven’t blogged in a while. I need to b/c I have
printed out almost all of the books from Ryan’s first few years and what a fun
read. It’s been interesting to go back and read about when Ryan was 3 months
and younger to compare to Lillian.
Ryan loves her sister so much. She always lets me know if
she is awake or asleep in the car. (I never ask, she just offers the
information.) Ryan also “shhhes” Lillian
like I do when Lillian is crying. I am so amazed at how Ryan is with her
sister.
Ryan and Lillian went to the Dr at the same time…Ryan’s 5
year and Lilly’s 2 month. Ryan was in the 80th %tile for height and
weight. Lillian was in the 30th %tile for her height and weight. I
think I might have total opposites.
I can’t believe Ryan is 5 years old. She is so sweet and
loves people. She will go up to ANYONE
(yes, could be good or bad) and ask them their name. We went to Grant’s soccer game, went up to a man and randomly asked if the lady sitting next to him was his wife. And nope….. she wasn’t.

She loves to read and asks for a book every night. She isn’t
reading yet, but knows some words and knows how to spell almost all of her
colors out loud. She also loves to play in her room and play with her dolls.
Role playing is an everyday thing. She will act out with her dolls like they
are sisters or cousins and makes up stories. She also likes to play with her
IXL (from Nana 2 years ago) and her tablet.
Her favorite colors are still purple and pink. She has come
to love mushrooms which she will eat raw. She also loves cooked onions. Sugar
is still a favorite, but fruit will win over all if we remind her that we have
it. Frozen pineapple and mango are the latest favorites.
Lillian is such a sweet girl. She has already rolled over about 3 times from her tummy to her back. The first time she did was at 7 weeks. I have tried to get the video on here, but haven't been able to. Maybe someday I can get it to work. She loves tummy time and getting strong.
Her favorite thing to do is to
stick her tongue out at you and smile. If you do it back to her, she will smile
real big. I do remember Ryan doing that too (picture below in the red and white
headband. That was March 2009.)
Lillian has been sick recently. I decided to take a week to
do for myself before going back to work when both girls were at daycare. Lilly
lasted 4 days and then got bronciolitis. She stayed home with me Friday, the
next Monday which was MLK Day and then that Tuesday just to make sure she got
rest. The cough got a little worse, which we were told it would, on Saturday
Jan 18th. Phillip and I decided to take her to the after hours
clinic which then lead to us going to Children’s Hosp ER.
She received a tiny breathing treatment at the after hours
clinic, but that’s about it. The ER suctioned her out really good and monitored
her oxygen levels which went down just a bit when she went to sleep. However,
they stabilized and we didn’t have to get admitted.
These last 11 weeks have been tough and some with not a lot
of sleep, but adding Lillian to our family has been the best decision we have
ever made.
Ryan 2009 loves to stick tongue out too.
Lilly gives three snaps for her sister!
I am not a bow head mom, but had to put this bow headband on her.
In December, our church had "Night at Bethlehem" and Lillian was baby Jesus and we were Mary and Joseph. Ryan was an angel and went around singing carols.
Happy 5 year old
Our little elf! School project they made.
She found herself on the tree and had to have her picture taken next to it.
