Ryder's Hospital Photos

On our discharge day from the NICU (1.5.2011), the hospital photographer came up and took a few pictures of Ryder.  The hospital pictures have come a long way from the mug shots of the past.  Of course, the suckers that we are, we bought one of the packages so that we could have the first professional photos of our little miracle.  Here are a few of the shots.  Isn't our son precious (ok, I'm bias, but I could just eat him up)!!

As a brief update, Ryder continues to do well.  He is about 5 lb 5 oz and eating 2 oz of milk 8 times a day (yes, that means we are up around the clock).  We went to the doctor last Friday and again yesterday (despite the snow and ice) and all looks good.  We go again next Wednesday for another weight check.

Ryder and Eric... I love this one!

 My sweet boy sleeping!

 Our happy family finally leaving the NICU... what a great day!

 Yes, he is smiling!  Sweet baby boy!
