Update!

Ok, I think I successfully fixed the slide show on the previous post.  Please let me know if it is still showing old pictures.  We are still hanging in there.  Riley is proving to be a bit more of a challenge than Emerson was, but we're still going to keep him :).  He is a sweetheart, but he cries a lot.  He cries when he yawns, he cries when he sneezes, he cries when you put him down, he cries when you don't hold him in the appropriate position, he cries in the car...I think you get the point.  I did have a breakthrough today when he accepted a paci for the first time and kept it for nearly 20 minutes of peaceful silence before dozing off!  It will be such a relief when he finally develops a social smile in a few weeks to reassure me that he doesn't hate life entirely. He also still doesn't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time max.  Is that a breast milk thing?  I had to start Emerson on formula at 2 weeks and he was sleeping through the night by 2 months.  I plan to breastfeed Riley until about 2 months and then I will slowly transition him to formula before I go back to work at the 12 week mark.  There's no way I can pump enough when I spend 11 hours a day away from him during a work week.  Anywho...he's grown into a big healthy boy!  At his two week check up he had gained over a pound since leaving the hospital which is about twice the rate they consider to be adequate.  He had also grown over an inch. Now he is wearing 3 month size clothes already!

Emerson seems huge all of the sudden!  He is doing really well and has adjusted to this new family dynamic better than we ever expected.  He does not seem to harbor any jealousy towards Riley.  He is talking up a storm.  Scott has really enjoyed getting to spend so much extra time with him.  They have been building ramps inside and outside for his monster truck and cars and he has also been spending a lot of time on his new bicycle.
