Long walks on the river path is what we spend most of our days doing. There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby and fresh air. As soon as Ryan gets outside he falls asleep. It's our little trick for bedtime. Every night, just before bed, Tim takes Ryan on a long walk and I swear it is the sole contributing factor to Ryan's awesome sleep habits.
We've also been spending a ton of time with the family. Big cousin, Tatum loves to hold Ryan. She is going to be a great helper when Ryan gets just a bit older.
Spencer's Butte was a great first hike after my c-section. We decided to spend one Sunday afternoon hiking the butte and it was absolutely gorgeous. I got a little tired, but I was pretty proud of myself for making it all the way to the top, while carrying a baby, and just 5 weeks after my c-section. It felt good to get some "real" exercise in. I am missing running so bad.
We also welcomed the third and final installment of the Bellin side of the family for 2012. Nolan Robert was born on May 23rd. He completes a couple different trios. He's the third baby in his immediate family and he is the third baby among three sisters who had babies within a 7 week time span. I hope to see #3 on all of his future soccer and basketball jerseys. He's way too big to have a receiver/qb number like 3 for football. We're thinking a linebacker or lineman # would be more appropriate. Maybe 33? :)
We also made another trip to Seattle. This time via plane. Ryan did fantastic on his first plane ride. I made sure to nurse him on take off and landing, just in case his ears were popping.
All in all, it's been a pretty good couple of months and we have no clue how life ever was before Ryan.
