Visit with Gammy and Papa Schleicher


We had a great visit from Gammy and Papa Schleicher. They were here for only 4 days, but we managed to do so many things. Riley played with bubbles, went to the park, built a bear(Alvin the chipmunk), took a train ride in the mall, and played with his new water table. He really loved having them come and didn't want them to leave without him. He wanted to fly on the plane with them to NC.
Bailey enjoyed all the attention as well. We are going to have to reprogram her to sleep in her bed/crib/cradle instead of in someones arms all the time. They spoiled her big time. She is now 9lbs. 3 ozs and 21 inches long. That was at her 2 week check up last week and she has not slowed down on the feedings. She loves her bottle and I really hope she is a good eater for life, because we can't bribe Riley to eat. Although, Papa managed to get him to drink milk which is a really hard task. He will have to come back out here every month so Riley can get his calcium intake.

Riley has a new sister!

Riley has been long awaiting the arrival of his sister. Bailey was born on April 3rd at 8:28 am weighing in at 8 lbs and 4 oz. She is home and doing great. Riley is a big help and wants to feed, burp and hold her. He is very concerned every time Bailey has the hiccups, which is often. He has definitely displayed a few jealous moments, but he loves Bailey and wants to kiss her all the time. Bailey is a big eater unlike her brother. She is already on 3 oz and every two hours. She loves to sleep all day and stay awake at night. We hope she will change this soon. Here are a few pictures my friend took of Bailey.
