It's been about two months since Real Housewives of Atlanta star and celebrity attorney Phaedra Parks gave birth to her second child, a boy, with husband Apollo Nida. Phaedra gave Us Weekly the rights of publishing her son Dylan's first professional pics to world all while the child hadn't been officially named at the time.

Phaedra Parks will have quite the story to tell her infant son Dylan about his arrival when he gets older! Three weeks earlier than expected -- on May 7, 2013 -- Parks, a lawyer and mom to 3-year-old son Ayden, got the surprise of her life when she went into labor during a work trip to Augusta, Ga. -- 150 miles from home! "I hadn't packed anything or even made arrangements for Ayden," the Secrets of the Southern Belle author, 40, admits to Us Weekly. "And I'm usually an Eagle Scout when it comes to being prepared!"
Eight hours later, on May 8 after an emergency C-section, Parks welcomed 7 pound, 9 ounce Dylan into the world with fitness trainer husband Apollo Nida, 34, by her side.
Waiting to officially name their infant in a traditional African naming ceremony, Parks tells Us the little one is being well taken care of at home by big brother Ayden. "Ayden pretends to ride his bike to the store for diapers and calls him 'my baby!'" Parks gushes. (Ahead of the naming ceremony, Parks jokes to Us that the family call Dylan "Mr. President.")
Parks herself is also soaking up as much time as she can with her new addition. "Right now, we're just enjoying every moment," she says, "because once the baby grows up, I can't put him in a time machine!"


I love Phaedra and all her creativity, only she would announce a traditional African naming ceremony only to call her kid Dylan for now. I guess we have to wait for the new season of RHOA to see that. You know Phaedra has at least one countrified affluent event each season (ex: Sip and See, Ayden's parties, her baby shower, etc.)  and I speculate the naming ceremony to be hers this season.

Again, what a beautiful display of not only an African American family but a family in general.

Congrats on Baby Dylan...and for continuing to make the pages of US Weekly, Phae. Mmmm hmmmm...
