5 + Weeks!

So sorry it took us so long to post our next update!

Rhys is getting so big-we will definitely post some new and maybe older pics of him.  He was 12.2 lbs at his 4 week check-up and growing like a weed!  We are having so much fun watching him grow and learn.  He is definitely becoming more and more alert each day and bringing us so much joy!  His smiles are contagious and we can't wait to show them off.

My mom (Lenetta) is in town this week and next and we are definitely loving having her around to help.  We have been to our first Beaver game too!  I'm going to post some pics since that is what everyone wants to see anyway!  More to come later!

2 Weeks Plus!

Rhys and I both had our 2 week check ups this week!  Rhys was 10.5 lbs and in the 80 and 90 % for height, weight and head size!

Daddy went back to work this week...and we definitely miss him and his diaper changing abilities.  Mom has got peed on at least 6 times...in the face...fun!  Rhys did have a cold this week but is doing much better now.  We have had lots of visitors all week.  Monday we ventured to Corvallis so mom could get some work done and Grandma Dana came with us so that was nice.  Tuesday Aunt Hayley came over so I could take a shower and she made us lunch...it was great!  Wednesday Toni and Chelsea came to visit and Thursday was great Grandpa and Grandma Rouse as well as bath time!  We plan to get some stuff done around the house this weekend and then head to Hayley's baby shower on Sunday-our first big outing!

We are still very grateful for all the wonderful meals, gifts, love and support from all our family and friends!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year-2011!

What a year 2010 was for us!  Got married in April, went to Mexico in June, bought a new car in August, bought a new house in October and welcomed our first son into the world in December!  God has really blessed us and we are so thankful for all of his blessings!  We are also thankful for each and every one of you-our family and friends!  We feel surrounded by your love and support.

Rhys is now 11 days old and growing like a weed!  He weighed in at 9.10 on Thursday-wow!  We are adjusting well to a family of 3 and can't really imagine life without Rhys.  We find ourselves overjoyed with him all day long!  Last night he even gave us 3 solid hours of sleep and slept in the bassinet the whole time-GO Rhys!  We also took our first Beaver Nation tour today...we ventured out to Corvallis for the day (5 hours) and mommy got to work a bit while daddy gave Rhys the ultimate tour of Gill and even shot some hoops for him!  He did great!

Dad will go back to work full time on Monday so it is going to be tough having my main diaper duty man gone for the day :(.  Any takers???  I will periodically go in over the next month or two to get some team travel work done but try to work as much as I can from home.

Thank you for all the food, gifts and overall support from everyone-we so appreciate it!

Love to all!

Ryan, Jaimee & Rhys!
