So with a surprising Thursday morning (May 17th) Erin felt a need to talk to the doctor about a little ‘leakage.’ A few hours later after packing up our stuff and sending Brooks off with his grammies we were at the hospital getting some test done. The test was taking long enough that we were choosing our downtown or east nashville lunch spot. Then came the news, “baby coming today.” A few hours later after what we’d call a quick active labor, Rhys Edward Richardson was born at 5:25pm at 7lbs and 13ounces and 19.5 inches.
Brooks Birthday Bash!
Our little man had his official 2 Years Birthday today. We had it at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville which has a cool indoor playground/climbing thing that goes up two stories. Their party staff was excellent to us as well. Brooks was excited with the Thomas the Train theme as well, it’s his favorite these days.
Noah Christian’s Birthday
Today is Noah Christian Richardson’s birthday. Tiffany was a real champ as she delivered Noah who weighed in at a whopping 9lbs. 11oz. All are well and we were excited that Shawn was able to work out through his whole deployment stuff to be around for the birthday and as long as he was.
Check out our Photos & Videos of Noah’s B’day Party and as well some of the rest of February 2010 shots.
Grandma Nora’s B’day
today we celebrated Grandma Nora’s b’day (this is erin’s mom’s mom) otherwise know as “Gran-ga-ma” (might not be spelled that way, but its pronounced that way). it was a fun time with family and seeing grandma have a grand ole time with many of her closest & oldest friends.
you can check out this slideshow of pics from the event as well as some the older photos we had for a rolling slideshow during the party.
Birthday Boy Photo Shoot
our little boy Brooks, turns 1 month old today. how does the Richardson family celebrate? a photo shoot of course.
Anna is a good friend of ours and offered to take photos for us after my nikon was stolen last spring. we were stoked to have her take photos, she’s a whole lot better than me as a photographer.
Brooks was quite the awake child (though this photo doesn’t show that part) for his b’day photo shoot. this made it tough to get some of those ‘serene’ pics you usually see, but i suppose we already have some of those sleeping peaceful baby pics. Brooks was quite the trooper in modeling for about 2 hours with some sporadic breaks.
you can check out Anna’s blog posting with some of our photos from the photo shoot. when she’s had time to go through more of the photos we will link to those so people can order prints if they like (and i know you all want your Brooks professional print).
if you are looking for a photographer, i would highly recommend Anna.
Brooks 1st Day
This is a little gem of a video that we caught of Brooks waking up towards the end of his first day of life. I try to narrate for the viewer what he’s thinking.
