Day 2 of the bonding period...
We had our second visit with Rylan today. It melts my heart the way he gives us such a hugh smile when he is brought into the room. We brought in some juice in a bottle and were able to feed him some today - it felt so nice! I can't get over how much they bundle the children here. I took a peek at how big he really is, and took off three layers of clothing to get to some skin! He also had a hat on today - to cover his bald head. Apparently it is common practice to shave the hair off of the babies to make it easier for the caregivers to keep them clean. Now that his hair's starting to grow, it feels like soft stubble - don't worry Rylan, we'll let you grow your hair as long as you like when we get home (well, within reason). Based on the emails we've been getting from family and friends, Rylan already has a very busy social calendar when we get home - play dates and pool parties - book your time with him now!

Even Dave has a smile on his face for the pictures.
Stacey and Dave,
We are so happy to have the little fella as part of our family! Now that there is another little one in the family the Stelmack's annual pool party will be a real SPLASH! We are so happy for you both. You will make terrific parents. Can't wait to meet him!
Love Aunty Carol & Uncle Garry

Yeah! He is adorable!!! What a beatiful smile. He looks so happy. I absolutely LOVE the name Rylan. He sure suits his name. This must be such an emotional time for you both. Enjoy each precious moment with your new son. Congratulations Mommy and Daddy and welcome to the no sleep club!

Congratulations. We're really excited for the two of you and look forward to hearing more news and seeing pictures of your little guy.
Enjoy getting to know Rylan (love the name) and making him part of your family.

Hi, Stacey and Dave
Just got your blog address today when I was at work. Congratulations on your baby boy! As the quote goes: "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." Take care, Kimberly
