A week of many firsts

We were so excited to find out that my doctor was letting us go home a day early. We packed up fast and headed home where my mom and dad were anxiously awaiting Grady's first day at home.  I was just so anxious to get home and love on Grady in my own surroundings. Dave and I were also very curious how our first son, Porter, would handle out newest member of the family.



Snug as a bug for his first car ride home from the hospital

Well once we got home Porter was so good with Grady. He didn't try to jump on him or lick him, and in fact he never left Grady's side and still hasn't.  I am quite sure they will be best buddies.

Grady's first night home he did awesome.  He ate like a champ and slept in his bassinet most of the night. Dave and I couldn't stop smiling and kept saying how we couldn't believe he was finally here and he was ours. We are so smitten with this little guy.

First night home

Grady went to the doctor and received an A + report for gaining a few ounces. Everything else checked out fine too.  The nurses love this guy because he is such a snuggle bug.

And since he had such a good report and it was so nice out, we went on our first little walk around the neighborhood. We didn't make it far because I was still pretty sore.

Now since I found out I was pregnant one of the things I have been dying to do is bath a little baby. But I didn't realize you have to wait a while for the umbilical cord to fall off (gross!) So we gave him a sponge bath which he wasn't a big fan of. We gave him a sponge bath not only because I was dying to, but because he  peed on his head while we were changing him - oops!

I cannot stop smelling and kissing his little head



And one of my favorite firsts was Dave giving Grady his first bottle. Dave was pretty pumped about it. Grady drank that bottle up so fast. This boy loves to eat!

We hope you stop by soon as this little guy is changing by the second!

XOXO,
