"Tummy Time" 

Out and about in Port Jefferson on a nice Spring day

Bathtime!

First real bath. Not sure what to think.

Not so bad...

The authentic sling - still needs some practice on the parent side.

I know, why do they keep taking pictures of us?

My already little patience with this crib

is being tried.

I love my Grandpie and Grancie!

St. Patrick's Day

When everyone knows a boy is coming, he is not so prepared for St. Patrick's Day. Here is the green onesie.









St. Patrick's Day bib! Not for baby? Oh. Umm, at least this way it is less disturbing.















Nice sun spot. Bye Bye Biluben!

Trip to the pediatrician - first time out since we got home

The first ride in the Zoom (5 minutes from the hospital to home) was so fast Emerson slept all the way through it!

Emerson's Birthday

Emerson August Hayes arrives 11 days early, but takes his time getting here--about 10 hours at home before spending almost 10 hours in Labor & Delivery! We got our money's worth, though: 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches of baby to love.
