Coming home

Welcome home baby! We brought our little muffin home after 12 hours of lounging around our comfortable room at the birth center. It was such a sweet feeling to bring this little one home with us. He fits right in. Here he is sporting the fluffy down bunting I bought for him about 6 years ago - one of the reasons I knew we wanted a winter baby :) All this time I thought it would be too small. Not quite!


He's the best late Christmas present we could have ever asked for. Do storks fly down chimneys too?

Max working his magic. The exercise ball is the best crying baby cure around. Look how much we've learned in the first 18 hours of parenthood!

Auntie Rachel stopped by in the evening to bring us a hot, home cooked dinner (her excuse) and to meet the baby she stuck around to help us with over her holiday break. Bless you Rach! We were in need of some taking care of and food was the last thing on our minds. We owe you for that one!

The baby took to cabin living easily, starting out with a nice nap on the couch. Our first night together was peaceful and cozy and even included some good solid sleep. This little guy has been an expert eater from the start (did anyone have any doubt?) and he falls asleep easily after a good meal. So far he couldn't be easier. Or cuter.
