Ode to Zoey

Ever since we have brought Rayden home from hospital she has been feeling a little deprived. It didn't help that her sister Foxy was hit the month before I had Rayden. So, needless to say she is feeling a little sad. She did manage to get a hair cut, she needed one really bad! She is doing really good with Rayden, and she is already protective of him. She used to be the center of attention, and our little princess. But now all that attention is going to our little man. So here are a few pictures of Zoey, and some with Zoey and Rayden.

Happy New Year/Pictures

I haven't posted in a while, and I don't have a whole lot to say. We didn't really do a whole lot for Christmas. We decided to stay home, so we didn't take the chance of getting Rayden sick. So we had my family over for Christmas dinner. The next day we went over to Dustin's uncles house and had turkey dinner with him. I just want to post some pictures of Rayden. He is getting so big. I can't wait for him to smile at me. He is ALMOST there. He is also almost rolling over. With a little help from me he can do it!



It looks like he is trying to smile in this one.

Rayden with Daddy again. I think he is going to be a Daddy's Boy.

Here is me and my boy! I know, I have a little baby weight to lose. *Sad*

He doesn't really look that happy in this pic! I think it's funny!

Such a ham!

Here are some pictures that I forgot to put with the last post. Rayden is such a little ham. We are so lucky to have him.

Cute baby!

In this picture it's as if he already knows he is a handsome boy!

Here are some more pictures of Rayden a couple of days after we got home. I think they are so funny! He definatly is a cute boy!

Coming home!

Rayden's hospital pictures

As most of you know Rayden was born 5 weeks early, and had some difficulty breathing. After two days in the nursery at the hospital in Roosevelt, Rayden's left lung collapsed. He was flown to the University of Utah. Where we spent two weeks with him. Not only were we dealing with his breathing issues, we dealt with a bad case of jaundice. After we got over those issues, and were almost ready to go home he needed to learn to eat. That took longer than anything! It was kind of a rough two weeks. The staff at the U of U were amazing! We were so lucky that he was well taken care of! We are so blessed to have him home and healthy! After seeing the babies that were in the NICU, we are thankful that Rayden was big! Rayden and me!

Daddy's first diaper change. He said he would never do it, but he finally got in there and did it!

This picture you can tell how sick he looks. It's sad isn't it?

I love this picture of him, I think he looks so precious.

Rayden under the bili lights. He is wearing some nice shades huh?

Right after they measured him, and weighed him. He was 6 pounds 2 ounces, and 18.5 inches!

This is Dustin right after Rayden was born. He kind of looks a little freaked out. I think this is a funny picture of him.

Trying to figure this out!

Well I decided I would give blogging a shot. Everyone I talk to seems to really enjoy it, and I figure this will be a good way for my family to keep up with how Rayden is growing. Please forgive me, I am still trying to figure everything out.
