Ryder's one month birthday was also the day of the baby shower my sister's and my mom threw for him. Aimee came up from Colorado with Max, Friday to meet her new nephew and to help celebrate!
Aim, loving all the little ones!! :)

Mom decorated cupcakes like rattles! They turned out perfect!


Nic came Sunday morning with a diaper cake, that she made ofcorse! Sooo adorable!

There were games and fun, "boy" decorations!
All the guests got onesies to write "welcome to the world" Ryder messages on. They were hung on this adorable clothes line!! Cool idea, guys!

Mom, Nic and Aim thought of everything, including displaying pics of Me, Ryder and Marty as babies...

I feel soo lucky to have such an awesome, thoughtful family, willing to fly in and drive from so far away for such a short time! They went above and beyond to make Ryder and I feel super special! :)

The shower was so much fun! It was great to show Ryder off to all of my friends. Everyone got to cuddle him. He was a real trooper, sleeping through the entire party!! I was having so much fun visiting that I didn't get many photos of the party itself. Mom captured all of it and I would love to post a pic of Ryder in his shower outfit, with all his friends, but we'll have to wait until I get the pics from mom.

Everyone else only stayed for the day, but Aim and Max stayed for 5! We had a great time, just letting the cousins and Scout bond.

Ofcorse, winter returned in time for Aim and Max's visit so we went for some walks, but they were not warm ones....


We showed Max about being Canadian....

Max and Ryder tried to play together.......adorable!!

Aim, got to cuddle with her Canadian nephew...

Max "kid proofed" Scout for us.....

Uncle Marty got to bond with Max too....

....and we had Dance Parties in the living room!!!
I can't wait for Ryder and Max to be old enough to really have fun together....
