Rhyatt Nimer nearing his first birthday! County awaits first baby of 2023

Rhyatt Nimer, Oneida County’s first baby for 2022, is nearing his first birthday - January 10, 2022. Parents of the first baby are Dirk and Cassie Nimer of Malad.

According to his parents, “Rhyatt is the sweetest boy!  He has had a hard first year with his health, but things are looking up now.  He loves to go to physical therapy and hang out with his therapist Charlie.  He dislikes going to feeding therapy, but enjoys making his team smile and laugh at him when he refuses to participate.

Rhyatt loves his siblings.  He loves to follow his big brother Dax around and do whatever he does.  You will often find Rhyatt on Dax’s hip being hauled around to do the boy stuff!

He loves going outside with dad.  He loves being held and cuddled by his mom.

Rhyatt is crawling all over and into everything!  He loves his minky dirt bike blanket and his new toy dirt bike he received for Christmas.  Rhyatt is a little ham and his smile melts our hearts.

Rhyatt’s family would like to thank everyone for the many gifts, dinners, and prayers and concerns on his behalf this year.  They have been wonderful and the prayers have been felt!

They would also like to thank Cache Valley Pediatric Rehab for their assistance in helping Rhyatt through his struggles.  Thank you to the Idaho Enterprise for putting such a fun First Baby of the Year program together.  We have enjoyed all the things we have received!”  


With the new year will come a new first baby for 2023, and so on Monday, January 1, Rhyatt, will relinquish his title as the reigning First Baby of Oneida County. 


FIRST BABY CONTEST RULES

The 2023 title will be awarded to the first baby born to parents who are bona fide Oneida County residents at the time of birth. The baby may be born at any hospital since deliveries are no longer being done at Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital. Parents or friends need to contact The Idaho Enterprise to inform them of the birth. 

Students living in other cities at the time of the birth will not be included in the contest; only parents actually residing in this county are eligible.
