Calling all Children People...

So I'm going to be losing my nanny soon because she is having a baby of her own. I'm looking for someone who needs some extra money who would be willing to watch Ryan full-time Monday through Friday every week. Preferably someone in Utah County. He's a really mild mannered baby and only cries when hungry or when something is wrong. He naps well also. Please let me know if anyone is interested. I will probably need the person to start in June. We love Katy who has been watching Ryan, but we're also happy for her to have her baby soon as well! Here's some newborn pics we finally got back from our photographer Brittney Warburton. If you like them and you are in Utah we can get you her contact info. Ryan's so much bigger now that's he's almost 5 months old. In these he was 7 weeks.

Catch Up

This is going to be a post full of catch up pictures.

We bought some baby Chicks so we can have eggs when they get big.

Here are some more pics of the baby and of us. I got my hair cut so here's some pics of that as well.

First Bath

Our neighbor made this cute hat

James thought it would be funny to act like he was sleeping like baby Ryan

Age and Size Comparisons Part 2

Here are some more comparisons with my huge CareBear to how big Ryan is getting. I'll post the old ones too.

1 Month

A week or so old

We're going to post this on Craigslist but we thought we'd let our blog friends have a chance first. We are selling a Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS. Great camera, phenomenal colors, 12x optical zoom 7.1 megapixels. $100. Reason for sale: We're upgrading to an SLR. Comes with: 4 rechargable energizer 2500 mAh batteries with charger, case, it takes SD memory card and will not come with one.

Christmas

Christmas was almost a month ago, but finally I have time to post about it. My parents were both in town to see little Ryan and so this was our first Christmas where we got to spend it with both families. My sister-in-law Crystal's mom was also in town so it was a huge gathering at James' parents house for Christmas dinner. Here are a bunch of pictures of Ryan's first Christmas.

Size Comparisons

So we decided to take some pictures of Ryan for size comparisons with my gigantic carebear. The first one is when he was only a week or so old. The second is a month old. Next week he will be 2 months old and so we will do another picture. He is getting so big already!

Smiley Boy!

He's starting to smile!

I can't say enough how awesome it is for Ryan to smile at me. It makes all of the nights when I'm up feeding a fussy baby worth it!

Sorry for the lack of postings right now. I'm back to work for the month and being a new mommy and there just isn't much time to blog. I will catch everyone up soon!
