This beautiful newborn is my good friend Mandy’s third baby. She has two girls who are exactly the same age as my two daughters and they have all gone to school together since they were babies. Fun times! I was so excited when Mandy told me she was having another baby and especially excited when she had a BOY!!!! Ryder was born on April 26. He is so precious. I forgot how tiny newborns are! They grow so fast. . . Mandy you will be so glad to have these pictures because time is so fleeting when it comes to babies. A newborn only looks “new” for about 2-3 weeks! Here are a few pics of baby Ryder:
