2 weeks old

Our early bird had her two week check-up yesterday (on my actual due date nonetheless). The doctor gave her a glowing report. Ryan is a little peanut compared to her big brother. Carter has always been above average in size. Ryan, although long, is still a tiny baby. Here are her stats:
Weight 8 lbs. (34%)
Height 21 1/4 in. (77%)
Head (23%)


Ryan has been a little angel since the day we brought her home. She is a good eater and sleeper. Of course we could all use more hours of sleep a night, but whose complaining. She is not very fussy and only cries if she needs something like a new diaper or to eat.

Carter is a good big brother. Most of the time he is indifferent to her, but he does like to rock her in her car seat and always wants to lay with her on the activity mat. He like to tell me if she's sleeping or not and he doesn't like it when she cries. He says YUCK when we change her diaper which makes him laugh.

Carter will be two in a couple of weeks and he is already testing us with his terrible two's behavior. He is perfecting the temper tantrum and he is capable of having a complete melt down within a blink of an eye. Let's hope this stage doesn't last very long.

Cute when she's mad

These were a couple of pictures taken of Ryan (at 8 days old) at a friend's baby shower. I guess she didn't want me to mess with her hat. It's hard not to laugh at her "mad" face.

Eeek, big brother is attacking me!

Kisses from my big brother. That's more like it!

Ryan Michele Meek

Ryan Michele Meek was born Saturday, February 6th at 2:56pm. She was 2 and a half weeks early so needless to say her parents were very surprised at her arrival. Ryan weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. I will get into the details about her birth on another post. Mom, Dad and big brother, Carter, are rather tired but doing well. Below are a couple of pictures of Ryan and the family. Stand by for video of Carter welcoming Ryan home.
