I wish I could record every single little moment in Rylie's life so that I don't forget anything, but since that's not possible I have to write down what's important to me now.
When Rylie is sort of waking up, she stretches really big and her whole body stiffens up, so when I move her she just stays in the same exact position. She also makes this little grunting noise whenever she wakes up, or is getting annoyed and aggravated.
Sometimes, at night when we put her in her bassinet, she just cries because she wants us to come get her. She loves to be held. Our bassinet also plays this music and there's one song that Rylie really doesn't like and every time it comes on she starts whimpering. It's so funny that she can already decipher songs and whether or not they are agreeable to her. Rylie hates to be cold. She loves getting baths, but when she gets out of the bath, she's always cold so she screams. One day I decided I was going to blow dry her so that she wouldn't be cold, and she stopped crying right away. She stretched her arms and legs out as big as she could, and if she could have smiled, I'm sure she would have. Ever since then, every time I blow dry her she pees...I guess it makes her so warm and comfortable that she can't help but let it out.
Rylie loves to be cuddled up...we wrap her in this snuggle wrap thing at night that keeps her arms in real tight and keeps her nice and warm. She loves to sleep, and she has a lot of dreams.
When we first brought her home from the hospital she would jerk a lot. I think it's from the NICU when they would poke and prod on her all day, so she started having nightmares. Now, at a little over 4 weeks, the amount of times she jerks a day has gone down so much. I think her dreams are good now, because sometimes it's almost like she smiles while sleeping, and she almost purrs a lot of the time.
Craig was holding Rylie one time and Rylie was very hungry, and for some reason we didn't have a pacifier on hand, so she was not very happy. She was crying pretty loud and flailing her arms like crazy, when her hand came across her face, and crazy enough her thumb went right into her mouth. She started sucking on it, and quieted up real quick. It was so funny to see how she reacted to something so small!
One day Rylie had a major blowout on our bed, and it came out of the top of her diaper and got everywhere. I pulled off her outfit real quick, put her over my shoulder and ran her over to the changing table. I set her down to get her ready to be changed and her umbilical cord was gone...what the heck? I retraced my steps to find out where it was, thinking maybe it was in the outfit I pulled off, or on the floor or something, but I couldn't find it. I looked down, and low and behold, it was stuck to my nursing bra! Gross! Anyways, that was on November 3rd, so it took 3 weeks and 5 days for it to finally fall off.
I'm sure there will be much more to come, as there isn't enough pages to recount everything amazing about my little girl Rylie. For now though, that's it.
