Rylan

Rylan Kenneth was born on March 2, 2011. (That’s 3/2/11, which happened to be the 175th anniversary of the Texas Independence Day!)

Rylan is named after my Gramps, my dad’s dad, whose first name was Kenneth. I’m thankful that Kellen got to know him before he passed away, and we both wanted to honor him by naming our son after him.

He is the happiest baby I’ve ever seen. He’s reaching milestones like rolling over and, I’m sure, crawling later than his sister because he’s just so content to be where we put him, play with what we give him, or look at what’s in front of him, that there’s just no need to roll over or try to move!

He smiles all day long. His sister is his favorite person. He’s pretty intrigued by the dogs. He will happily go to anybody, as long as he’s not sleepy or hungry.

He’s a redhead!

Rylan is the sweetest little boy I’ve ever met.
