Two Months with Rhettski

time is CRUISING by so fast! our days consist of loving on mr. rhett. he is such a handsome-cute-happy-cool-chill-observant-magical-perfect person (xoxo). he seems to like eating, sleeping, overfilling his diapy, smiling, bathtime, dance parties, tummy time, back massages, letting mom dress him like baby doll (ahah NOT at all actually), making adorable noises and going on walks (when it isn't frigid). he is a pretty darn good sleeper too (thank heaven)! he has melted our hearts.

he (or me) doesn't like getting put down, so this carrier is useful

MinnesoOoOota Welcomes Rhett

i was a nervous-nelly before our trip to minnesota, but i must say, young rhettski was an adorable little trooper. he slept the entire car ride besides a short stop to eat and diapy change, and he slept like a champ (7-8 hours!) during the nights. he did catch a little cold on new years eve, so we did not stay up to ring in the new year with him.  despite his anxious-mama-nurse being crazy and wanting to go to the emergency room (for bedside oxygen and suction equipment...), mr. rhett recovered quick, and we got home safe and not completely traumatized either. who knew? merry minnesota!

i ride in the backseat now cause i'm cool like that

FOUR generations :)

my grandma, when she held him, would say "ahhh boo boo boo boo boo".  he and i both loved it.

...he isn't sure how he feels about this...but i know he will soon love it!

First Christmas

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:11-14

We are so thankful to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas with our son, Rhett

Month One of Young Master Rhett

the first month with rhett has been amazing and educational! we are sleeping a lot less than we ever dreamed (hah!) possible, and i may still be a bit of a crazy-anxious-protective-mama who is recovering from some pretty painful post-baby stuff, but we are feeling so incredibly grateful for our little rhettskiroo.
