Leo and I had a little visitor today and while I was worried how my big boy would behave, I needn't have bothered. He was the perfect gentleman.
Meet Rylan...up close and personal. Today was her two week birthday which was four weeks ahead of schedule. As a blessed reprieve for her mom--who is still recuperating--she sleeps an extraordinary amount of time. She's such a considerate little bundle of joy.
As soon as Rylan left, I cast on a little Easter hat for her. Since she is so tiny, I was able to complete it while Sara and I watched a movie. Turns out, you can whip up a preemie hat in no time at all-- even one that's knit with three rows of Tutu yarn.
And yes, that's me still in my jammies at 2 in the afternoon. We all enjoyed our lazy day.

Leo, the Gentle Giant! Makes you realise how big he is next to her. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon
oh she's gorgeous!
It's only in the photo of you holding her that you realise how teeny tiny she is!
My 2nd daughter was 4 weeks early, and tiny, now she's 5' 10"!
What a wonderful treasure to hold, a little princess you have there.
I knew Leo would be good.
So sweet and precious....love the Easter hat! I haven't seen that yarn yet....
Leo looks like he likes her. She doesn't look like a preemie to me. Very adorable with all that hair! Can't wait to see her in her hat.
Brenda, she is so teeny tiny. She's 4 weeks preterm so nothing really fits yet. Because they were expecting a big baby, they didn't really plan well with newborn size clothes. She lost a little over a pound after birth, but she's now gaining weight so that's good.
Oh what a sweet baby! **Love**
Multiple layers of sweetness! I love the hat, love Leo with her, and oh my, Rylan is sweetness personified! What a head of hair she has!
Oh, she's so tiny. What a sweetheart! And Leo does look like a very proud guardian.
That hat is absolutely adorable.
What a cutie! And I LOVE the hat - I want one! Of course it would need to be a bit bigger :)
Dear Bug...I made the hat smaller than the pattern for this baby. I'm sure I could make it bigger for you.
oh she's a doll and leo too!

Absolutely adorable, I love babies. Wish I had one to hold too. Cute hat and Leo is an amazing doggy. I spent today in pajamas too but for a different reason...ciao

Easter hat just puts it way over the top!
-Mimi- I was 4 weeks early and am also 5' 10". However, in my family, that makes me the short one. Little brother is 6'5", Mom is 6', so as you see . . . I stayed scrawny, puny and have lots of adult pictures of myself tossed over various brothers shoulders.
