Ryan is definitely a little chunkier thank William was (thank goodness!) but I am daily experiencing a little deja vu!

first bath

It became quite the family affair.

Contrary to this first picture, Ryan actually mellowed out and just hung out while I wiped him down!


We have been taking LOTS of pictures lately! Will has found a baby toy that we put in Ryan's room and now busts it out whenever he sees lots of pictures being made.


All wrapped up after the bath


and 'cause the black and white version is super-cute too!

yard work

Will has finally decided he is going to be BFFs with his daddy! He uses his push-popper toy thing as his mower. This, of course, lasted about 5 minutes until he got bored and realized that mowing the yard is not that glamorous!

'cause there's nothing sweeter...

... than a sleeping baby

sneaky peeky

Zoe came and did some newborn pics of Ryan and a few with the family this past Saturday. Being the wonderful person she is, she knew we couldn't wait and sent us a few sneak peeks:



Check out my sweet boys :)

this one is a keeper!!!!

Ryan Weldon Preston arrived this past Saturday, 10-10-09, at 10:48am. He was 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 inches long. Labor was actually quite quick and not horrible and things couldn't have gone much better. AND, of course, Ryan is absolutely wonderful, adorable, precious, and just amazing!!!
We have been hibernating for a few days getting things under control and slowly, but surely, we are re-emerging to join the world!
I'm sure I will post more details soon and definitely more pictures, but here are my favorites!
