Ryder's 2 month photo shoot

Ryder's 1 month photo shoot

I know we are behind on a few events from the summer as far as posts go, but I thought an update on our new addition would be appreciated.

Ryder Andrew Guthrie 7-15-2011

6:00 a.m. getting ready for Ryder Andrew Guthrie.

Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryder Andrew Guthrie born July 15, 2011, 8:38 a.m. 8lbs and 20-1/4". I love c-sections, they had him out in 8 minutes after starting!

Checking vitals...all is well, thank you Lord for our new healthy baby boy.

The grandmothers ARE really sharing!

Papa actually holding the baby instead of the camera!

Reese and his girlfriend Annaliese cuddling Baby Ryder (Reese thinks that's his first name).

So...Ryder is very cute, but we have discovered his face is like rubber and is quite animated; these are just a few of my favorite faces.

Getting ready to leave the hospital.

Reese is already fulfilling his big brother responsibilities.

I have the sweetest boys; when I got home from the hospital, this was my welcoming!

Reese Turns 2!

Happy Birthday little buddy...in typical Angela fashion, Reese dragged his birthday on for a good two weeks. We had a birthday lunch with Great Grandmom and Grandpop, Aunt Vicki and Dennis, and my parents.

Ryan was actually home on Reese's birthday, so we had a small celebration then; Reese got a bike for his birthday, if you can't tell he's really excited. He had to help Ryan adjust the seat...he almost fits on it, we will give it a couple of months!

Reese also loves books and the Yates family sure does know how to find the good ones! Thanks Smed, Janet, Evi, Zoe, Emet, Gracie, and Madeline.

We also had a birthday party for Reese at the splash park. Unfortunately, the picture of him on the swing with Annaliese was the happiest part of the day for him, he was actually pretty sick.

Despite being sick, Reese still enjoyed opening presents with his buddies, Rhett and Noel.

His new puppy bubble blower he DID manage to enjoy later that evening.
Happy 2nd Birthday Reese.

Our First Trip to the Zoo

Poor Reese, we wore him out, actually I think it probably was the other way around, he wore us out, we just don't fit in the stroller.

All I can say is...I have no idea.

We are at the zoo and Reese is most excited about ducks, fish, and airplanes that fly overhead. He actually loved all of the animals but we did spend the most time feeding the Koi fish!?

Ryder's Room is Ready!

Now all we need is a baby!

(We had an old children's desk that we had a friend refinish and paint to make it into a changing table; she does amazing work. It's called Noteworthy Home, they are on etsy, facebook, and craigslist).

Room Shuffle - making room for the new baby!

In order to get ready for the new baby (coming July 15th) we had to shuffle the rooms and furniture around a little bit. This is Reese's new BIG BOY room, he loves his bed (thanks Smed) and does a great job of staying in it.

This is his new edition to the room - his airplane. He gets so excited; every time he goes into his room he shouts "aaaiiiirrrrpppllllaaaaannnnneee."

This is the new guest room. The old guest room will be the new baby's room (so 2 rooms down, 1 to go) and Ryan's old office is the new guest room (and where the baby will sleep til he can sleep through the night and not wake up Reese...that may be never).
