Adjusting....

We are slowly but surely adjusting to a new life in the Rath household! Grant is such a good baby. He doesn't ever really cry; he just eats, sleeps and poops! :) Regan is doing great with him -- she likes to look at him in his bassinet and say "hi Baby Gant!" (there's no 'r' when she says it; it's SO cute!).

This is before we left the hospital. Grant is such a pretty baby. He has the same skin color as Regan did when she was born; unfortunately that probably means he'll turn white like she did when he's a couple months old!
A decent family picture from before we left the hospital.

Dad had to go back to Elkhart last Friday. After he loaded up his suitcase in his car, we told Regan to give him kisses bye bye. She ran into her room and came out with her own "suitcase" which was a leap frog toy that had a handle like Dad's suitcase. :) She kept telling us bye bye because she wanted to go home with Papa!

Grant with his eyes open. I love when he stares into my face; I just know he's thinking, "Wow, you're the coolest mom ever! I should've come out to meet you a looong time ago!" :)

We had a one week checkup with the doctor last week. She said that Grant has a tiny hint of jaundice, so she told us to put him in the sunlight for 20 minutes, 3 times a day. Here he is sunbathing the other night. Look how sweet and tiny he is!!!

The hardest adjustment to make has been that Mom left on Wednesday. After being here for 2 weeks, I know she was ready to be back home with Dad, but it sure was hard letting her go. I have the most amazing mother in the world and we are so blessed that she was willing and able to stay with us for so long. Regan definitely loved all the extra attention that Nana gave her. After she had been gone for about 30 minutes, Regan went to the front door and stood there saying, "Nana.... Na-a-a-na." It about broke my heart because it was the first time she'd ever gotten sad like that because someone had left. :(

And here's baby Grant getting in some tummy time!
