Introducing Riley Jerit Tycholaz.......

Okay, so this picture looks kind of funny, especially his stomach. It's actually a reflection of Conrad through the plastic of the incubator. There is nothing wrong with his stomach. Riley spent most of his first day in the special care nursery in this incubator under observation. He had his first poop before he was born, so the doctors took some extra precautions during delivery and afterwards.

Hahaha, right after this picture was taken, Zachary moved his feet and gave Riley his first kick to the head. Accidental of course! It wasn't very hard, but it was enough to startle him. (and us!)

Zachary has been very good so far with Riley - what an answer to prayer! He loves to give him hugs while he's in his chair and is always bringing Riley his soother and/or blankets. It's so awesome to watch Zach as the older brother. He has a lot fussier and whinier with us, and pushing his boundaries with us, but I'd rather he take it out on us and not on Riley.

We've been debating how much Riley looks like Zachary did as a newborn. So, we found pictures on the laptop and held Riley up to compare. Wow, does he ever look like Zachary did as a baby. We are going to have to be very careful to label all our pictures, especially since they are going to be wearing most of the same clothes!! I have several tubs of clothes that I'm glad I get to use again.
