Our Favorite Things....

After reading Remica's and Kristin's blog on their favorite things, I decided to share my favorite things!

• My Caden Lane Messanger Diaper Bag~ Thank you to Ryan for getting it for me, it has been worth every penny!




• The Mommy Boppy~ My parents got this for me when I was pregnant, its awesome! I actually still sleep with it and it helps also when I am feeding Rylea.




• Baby Week by Week~ This book is great! I had a hard time reading What to Expect the First Year, with the format and everything. This book lets me know what toys Rylea should be playing with, what she should be doing, etc..




• Keurig Gourmet Coffee Maker~ it is the best invention ever! it makes a single cup of coffee and you can use one hand!




• My short hair cut~ it doesn't take very long to fix it in the mornings so I can sleep in a little, well if Rylea lets me




• Lastly, Ryan and My mom!~ Without them I think I would loose my mind sometimes...

Rylea's Favorite Things...

• Newborn Boppy Lounger... gosh I wish I was the person who invented the boppy.. its amazing!


• Pampers Swaddlers.. That is the best diaper out there! and it fits her little bottom great!


• Similac Sensitive~ we used the Simiac Advanced and it gave her gas, we switched to the Sensitive and its awesome!


• Aveno Baby lotion~ it cleared her face up and got rid of her dry skin on her head..


• Changing Table~ for somereason when Rylea gets upset, we go lay her on her changing table and she stops!


• Fisher Price Bouncer~ Rylea hates every swing that she has, but loves her bouncer. I think she has figured out that if she moves her arms, then she bounces.

Rylea Adah Roecker

Rylea Adah Roecker was born August 27, 2008 at 2:05 a.m. She was 6lbs 6oz and 19inches long.

She was a suprise, since she wasn't supposed to be here until Sept. 27th! I was kind of upset when I found out I was going to have her that day, because I had my materinaty leave all figured out.. but I guess everyone is right... Rylea rules my world now.

I stayed home with her for 6 weeks, it was the most amazing time, I wish I could go back and spend it with her again. Although during this time our lives had changed for the better. Not only did we have Rylea, I had applied for an Advising job at Navarro College at the Waxahachie Campus before I had Rylea. During my leave I had two interviews and got the job! LIFE IS GREAT!

So I am back at work now, and my mom is coming up to Palmer every week and watching Rylea. We are so very blessed to have her do that. Although I think she likes it, because she is getting to see her granddaughter get bigger everyday.

Ryan's football season is almost over, unless Palmer makes the playoff's. Its been a tough season, a lot of change... but its nothing that Ryan can't handle. I took Rylea to a couple of football games, she slept through the whole game! I wish I could sleep like that..

until next time...
