Our Newest Star

Laura's sister, Melissa, recently took pictures of Mylie when she was 1.5 weeks old. Mylie did well during the photo shoot. She was asleep and awake, which provided us with a variety of shots. Here are a few of the pictures that were taken.

Mylie Snapshots

Thus far, Mylie has been doing really well at home. She sleeps most of the time and only cries when she is hungry or needs a diaper change. We are all adjusting well and enjoying her as much as possible. The doctor is keeping a close eye on her right now due to jaundice, however we are hoping that it clears very soon. Every morning we all get up to get blood drawn at the hospital. It's a good time for us all to get out of the house!

New Baby Doll!!!

Adeline got a new baby in her stroller. Her little sister, Mylie, fits right into the doll stroller!Adeline only pushed it around for just one second and then turned her head immediately. She still has not gotten used to the idea of having a new sister.

Mylie looked so cute sitting up in this little stroller. We could not believe that she fit!

New Ride

While Laura was at home on bed rest, Adeline received many rides in her new car from friends and family. She loves to drive her new car up and down the streets of Camp Solidarity. She even turns the steering wheel and honks on the horn. We are very thankful for all of the family members who came over to help during the last few weeks.

Introducing Mylie Ann Riegler

Mylie Ann Riegler was born on August 3, 2009. She weighs 6 lbs and 13 ounces and is 19.5 inches in length. We arrived at the hospital on Monday morning for a scheduled induction and was surprised to meet baby Mylie after 6 short hours of labor. She appears to be doing very well and staying healthy at this time.

Adeline came to visit Mylie the first day and did not seem to be very impressed with her new baby sister. After giving Mylie a couple of kisses, she shortly lost interested with her! We plan to go home on Wednesday and get into the new routine of being a family of four.
