Baby Patton is here!

I am officially an Aunt to a nephew! Patton James Pomeroy was born Wednesday January 19th at 11:18 p.m. My sister wasn't due until the 30th and after having a check up the day before, thought he was snug as a bug in a rug, WRONG! That night she had contractions all night, but very inconsistent. The next day she continued to have them and by Wednesday evening they were more regular and closer together so she checked into the hospital. I got there around 9 and J and Ray were already there. We got to visit for a while before it was go time and my mom got there just in time! I am so excited to finally have a boy in the family!

Sweet, perfect Patton 8 lbs. 8 oz. and 20.5 in.

I went back to the hospital the next day so Brad and Rylee could meet

the new little guy.

Big sister Elliott & Berkley. Elliott is beyond excited, Berk is a little unsure ;)

Ry checking out her cousin (she was more interested in pushing the buttons on Chrissy's bed)!

We are so happy you're finally here Mr. Patton we LOVE you!

Flashback......

I keep my small digital camera in Ry's diaper bag and I have been bad about downloading pictures from it, so these are from a couple of weeks ago.

Ry moved from the Birds class to the Big Beasts class at Little Gym. Now instead of being one of the oldest, she's one of the youngest. She loves copying what the big kids do!

A couple of weeks ago we met our sweet friends Michelle & Brandon and Ry's B.F.F. Addie for some shopping around Water's Creek and dinner!
The girls both had on their cowgirl boots!
Having a serious conversation!

Ry liked zipping and unzipping Addie's jacket!

Sitting on a horse statue together (w/their daddy's help of course)!

We got doughnuts to take over to my parents house one morning and Ry picked out a heart shaped doughnut that had pink icing. The whole time at the shop, she kept saying, "pink doughnut, please!" I kept telling her she could have it when we got to Grammy & Papa's house. The nice lady at the shop gave me a couple of doughnut holes with pink icing for her to eat on the way =)

( I was at a light in case you're wondering).

Having fun at Maw & Poppie's!

I remember when my mom use to do this to us in the bath.....

Rylee with all "her Mickey's" as she calls it.

Ry giving each one of them a kiss night, night (I won't bore you with all the pics).

Our bedtime ritual of bath and Backyardagains, or "agains" as Ry would say. She looks so tiny in our big bed!

Silly girl

Goofy is Ry's best new buddy, she wants to take him everywhere!

Notice anything about this picture? This is Ry's new favorite thing, all our blinds are going to be ruined after she's done with them.

Ry LOVES to watch t.v. in her car (notice who else is in the car)!

Again, playing with Goofy right by her side.

I think she is about done with me taking her pic here, what do you think......?

Rylee's Many Faces

Last week I chased Rylee around the house trying to get pictures of all her faces.

Sad....

Happy...

Surprised...

Angry....

Last week we rented Disney's Oceans, Rylee was very interested. It was pretty cool if you haven't seen it.

I've been working on a couple of art projects this week, so I got some for Rylee to do too! She always ends up painting herself, thank goodness for washable paint!

I was on the computer and Rylee had gotten out her stacking cups and asked me to fill them with water. I only filled one of them and set out a towel for obvious reasons. She sat there FOREVER... pouring the water from cup to cup... and an occasional drink. She didn't even spill any, I was impressed. I think I need to invest in an actual tea set!

LOVE this one!

Someone found the Ziploc baggies and pulled out all 120 of them! When I caught her she was actually laying on top of them all like she was making a Ziploc bed to lay on. Of course by the time I got my camera she had already sat up.

Look who finally has enough hair for pigtails! Now, if we could just keep them in =)
