This was your very first picture, taken by daddy on his phone only a few hours after you were born. We only got one of these precious pictures because our camera was broken so all we had were our phones. You were so sweet when I first saw you; you were very alert and you looked right into my face and stared at me as if to say "It's alright mommy, I'm here now!". It was a wonderful moment for me!

We stayed in the hospital for 3 days after you were born. We had some special bonding moments there as a new family, especially you and mommy. You picked up on the breastfeeding right away, just like a pro! We were all very tired at the hospital because no one would let us sleep, but when we did get a few minutes of rest we were always snuggled together. You loved taking a nap on mommy's chest after a meal, and I loved it too.

Home at last! We got our first picture of you with our real camera. You were snuggled in your car seat because we weren't too sure what to do with you! That was before the cool swing and you were much too small to sit in your bouncy chair. Mommy and daddy had a lot of learning to do. The hospital adventure was over, but the real adventure was just beginning!
