3 weeks old

Today Grant is 3 weeks old! I can't believe it. He's starting to be much more alert and fun, which is awesome. We don't go back to the pediatrician until his 1 month birthday, so I don't have an official weigh-in and length, but I did get on the scale with him yesterday and he was around 7 lbs. My scale only does half pounds, so it is an estimate. I'm interested to really see how much he has grown. Here are some fun pictures for your viewing pleasure.

First Bath! Success

Well Grant had his first real bath tonight. He didn't hate it and now he is zonked out in his rocker, so apparently it went over pretty well. We had been giving him a washcloth bath before this, which was fine, but luckily Grandma and Grandpa Haley brought us over a real bath on Sunday. We didn't take any pictures during the bath, but here's a shot of him all wrapped up in his towel. Mmmm he smells like a nice clean baby!

A few more pictures...

Happy 1 week birthday Grant!

I actually can't believe it's already been a week since I had Grant. He continues to grow and mature...I'm sure this period is going to fly by and I won't even be able to imagine him this small. Here are a few pictures...note the one where he's screaming, that's at the doctor. He hates being on his back.

Well....here he is

I'm sure all of you have heard, but Grant Joshua Haley was born at 6:08pm on Saturday January 9th, 2010. He was 5 lbs, 8 oz and 18 1/2" long. He's absolutely amazing. We are very overwhelmed and crazed with caring for a newborn, but it's all worth it to hang with him. I can't believe he's actually here. I haven't taken many pictures, what with having my hands full, but I'll be getting some up and also we will be having our newborn photo session at some point. So stay tuned!

my toes are ready for labor and delivery! also please look to the right and notice I am now carrying a watermelon...one who apparently just wants to cuddle up on my left side...
