Beautiful fall leaves

The last week in October our backyard trees turn all kinds of beautiful colors. We took a few pics outside in the fall leaves.

Graham is one week old here.

Graham is one week old

Graham is now a week old. Here he is dressed in baby blues for his newborn photo shoot (pics to come soon!)






Sweet baby Graham.




Look at those big feet!






Cuddling with mama.

Graham's first week

Here are a few pictures of Graham in his first week home. He is a very content baby...he eats a ton, and sleeps most all of the day.





He dreams a LOT! As soon as he falls asleep his eyes roll back into his head and he starts smiling.





Handsome baby boy!






Enjoying some time on the playmat.






We only swaddled his arms and legs in the first week or so. Then he fought his way out. (We kept Ruby swaddled for longer.)

Big Sister Ruby

We've been talking about it for months, reading books, pointing at baby brother in mama's belly, getting the nursery ready...and finally, Ruby is a big sister!

Talking to friends with two kids I was nervous about her being jealous and throwing tantrums. However, we have not experienced this yet (and he is now 3 weeks old). She has been curious (where is baby brother?), wanting to hold him and help feed him. She tells me when he is crying and likes to pull up her stool to watch me change his diaper.















She is still her cute, silly, and sweet self.





I think Ruby will be a great big sister to baby Graham!

THANK YOU MOM

Dear Mom,

Thank you so much for staying with us for two weeks. I know Ruby loved spending so much time with you and I'm so glad you were a part of Graham's early days. You were such a big help and I don't know how we would have done it without you. Love, Laura

Grandpa Goodell comes to visit

My dad came to visit the weekend after Graham was born. Here he is spending some time with both kiddos.



Ruby loves her grandpa!

Heading home from the hospital

After four days in the hospital we headed home with Graham!






All dressed up for his first ride in the car. Our friend Julie knitted this cute hat!
