We were so happy to get to celebrate Colton and Rachel becoming Husband and wife! It was a perfect fall day and those two looked so happy and so beautiful. Ryder loves his Aunt Rachel and Uncle Colton :)
A wedding just isn't a wedding without Scotty breaking out some of his killer dance moves! It was an awesome party after the ceremony.
This little family had a great time! Ryder pretty much slept through, well everything! I think this is the most he's slept ever! He even snoozed through a 3 person slow dance with me and his Dad.
The 2 most handsome guys this lucky lady has ever laid eyes on
This might just be a Mama talking but this guy was looking pretty dapper and he hadn't even left the changing table yet! Even though he's a boy he is a blast to dress up(I'm sure Adam is cringing right now)!! Speaking of a Mama talking, I was broken in right at this our first big event and outing- I held my breath and squeezed into an old skirt and top when I realized how hard it would be to feed my little guy in the flowy dress I had picked out for the big day. My skirt had a white and black print and the top was super easy access for our frequent eater. I was also so excited that I had found something that would fit Ryder and be kind of dressed up like his Dad was going to be. I swear as soon as I put it on him I was the quickest, most careful diaper changer of a boy that anyone has ever seen! All was going great, we were both dressed and ready for a couple of family pic's with the wedding party when I heard a rumble. Now this guy can definitely ruin a diaper but even at his worst he hadn't graduated to ruining outfits.... until that very moment, we were heading out for pictures. I looked down and saw that he had also christened me with what couldn't be contained!My stain was on the white part of the print! Oh no! I didn't want to hold up the pre-wedding prep, and while I've learned enough to know to pack extra cloths for him, I never thought in a million years to pack for me too! Thank god for Rachel's sisters and sister-in-law because they suggested hitting the stains with a baby wipe ("baby wipes get out anything") and following with a little sink wash and following with a blow dryer. You couldn't tell that anything had ever happened when we were done and we made it with plenty of time for pictures. Welcome to motherhood!
Ryder is also 1 month old today! Everyday I say I can't wait until he can tell me what he needs, and eat meat and potato's followed by I want him to stay a tiny little snugly baby forever! I can't believe it's already been a month. He was a whopping 10lbs 4.5 oz's today, up 1 pound in a week! Still eating non-stop and being handsome as ever. I swear he has baby insomnia because he spends so much time alert and wiggling.
He's finally asleep!!
.... and literally 1 minute later! "Hello Mama!"- baby insomnia Haha
I also got back some pictures from a great friend and photographer who took pictures of our delivery. This might sound crazy to some of you but they were all very G rated and totally amazing! I really recommend capturing the first moments of your baby's life (and all of the hard work to get them here!) Here are a couple of my favorites, and check out Nancy Alene photography! Nancy is so talented and professional :)
I told you I did the ugly cry! Greatest day of my life. There isn't a word for the amount of love and happiness Ryder has brought to our lives in just 1 short month.
