The Pittard Pad

On February 12, 2009 at 4:02 PM, Ryan got his first cousin - Jace Davis. Moments after this picture was taken, Jace grabbed Ryan's shirt, leaned in closer to him, and puked on him. It was a fitting introduction...
2 new Moms exactly 5 weeks apart to the hour. Alisa is holding Ryan and Angela is holding newborn Jace. February 12, 2009.

Ryan gets pretty tired at times. Here he is flopped over Tony's arm and doesn't even have a clue that he became a temporary football. February 2009.

We are a new and happy family. We believe Ryan already knows that he is very loved by us. He loves to be held close. January 2009.One of baby Ryan's happy places is on Mom's and Dad's tummy. Here he balled up and fell asleep. January 2009.

Already trying to get the boy to see Cougar Blue. He seems to wear it well....

On January 8, 2009 at 4:24 PM, Ryan Anthony Pittard was born at the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, UT. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. He came out crying to let us know he is a strong and healthy boy with all his fingers and toes. He is a beautiful baby boy!

Standing before you is 4 generations of Pittard. Great Grandpa Robert, Grandpa Gary, Father Tony, and Son Ryan. February 1, 2009.

Members of the Pittard and Anderson families at Ryan's baby blessing at our Redwood Ward in West Valley City, UT. February 1, 2009.

On February 1, 2009, Ryan was presented to our Heavenly Father and given his name and blessing by his father Tony. It was a special moment for his Dad to hold him in his arms and call down the powers of Heaven to help him through his mortal life...and he was dressed for the occasion...

On Thursday, January 8, 2009, Tony and Alisa became proud new parents. We had named our first born son Ryan several months before he was born. Alisa's labor was 18 hours and she did the majority of it naturally before she gave into the peer pressure from her husband to get an epidural to ease the pain for her...and Tony =).
