I feel so blessed and so grateful right now for my sweet Ryder. I cannot even wrap my mind around how much I love him, and how fast it has all happened. He is such a sweet boy and brings such a peace and calmness to our house. He is such a bright light in my life and is a true blessing. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to raise him and teach him. He makes me want to be the best person I can be. I find myself trying harder at everything I do, just to be a good role model for him. He makes me love my husband even more, which I didn't even think was possible. Some of my favorite moments with him are the quiet moments we have at night during feedings. I could watch him for hours. Children are absolutely amazing and I am so incredibly thankful to be a mother.

I had a dream last night that Ryder was 2 years old and had red curly hair...I was dying! I thought I had missed out on his first two years, thank goodness I woke up.
this is such a sweet post, and it takes me back almost 7 years to when owen was my first new teeny baby. i'm glad that you are able to enjoy those moments! i can't believe how lucky i am to get to do it again in a few weeks. babies are so sweet!

It makes me cry (I was a mess in the hospital) thinking that this is the way our moms feel about us. Amen to everything you said. Being a mommy is the greatest.
Motherhood is the greatest joy! There is nothing like it and nothing better. To look at these babies makes me realize what little miracles they are. Ryder is adorable and you are already doing an amazing job of being his mom...
I couldn't agree more. Being a mommy is seriously the best.
mom's rock - did you read this months' VT message?? We were meant to be this gender for a reason....and I am grateful for it!
Does he know my name yet??? Come Thursday night he's going to start crying for me. Tell Steve to get over it if I lick his face on accident - I can't help it. I'm freaking baby hungry!
There is no feeling in the world that compares to the love of a mother!
Hi Katie! I found your blog on a friend of mines. Congrats on your sweet sweet baby, he is so darling!
My husband Bobby and I are moving into your ward, next month. Aimee Malloy told me you are in that ward! We are excited!!
