First Days at Home for Caleb

Since Caleb was born at 11:01 pm we only stayed in the hospital the night he was born and one night after.  Funny how it works since if he was born exactly one hour later we would have been there one more night...haha!
Sunday we were ready to bring our little man home!  My parents and brother were at our house and Libby of course was excited to get him home as well...well Libby may not have been quite so excited!

Photo in front of our hospital room door :)
First time in the car seat, our nurse the last day was one of the nurses that did our "car seat check" at the hospital a few days before Caleb was born.  When we put him in the car seat for the first time she actually suggested that we move his straps up one level so he never even used the smallest option!  She said she never really recommends that but he was just such a big boy already!
Picture leaving the hospital before Caleb's first car ride, he actually didn't like the car ride much he was getting hungry so he screamed the whole way home which was less than 5 minutes!
Flag and balloons to great us as we brought Caleb home for the first time.  Funny story, as I got out of the car since Tyler was at our house his first question when I got out and looked at me was "Sissy, you have another baby in there?"  Lovely Tyler!
Picture inside the house for the first time!
Jared took Libby out for a walk before we brought Caleb in the house and then he let her in to go "find the baby" this worked well and she has been great with him.  The only time we have trouble is when people are over she gets a little mad that no one is paying attention to her and often licks him :)
Here is a nice picture of Jared, Caleb and Libby.
Proud Daddy with his Son!
Mommy and Son and Daughter :)  Libby in her favorite spot overseeing what is going on and who this strange new little thing is that we brought home!
Daddy and Son nap, no this isn't staged is the funnier part!
Testing out the swing, he always would go in the swing when we would eat dinner during the time when our family was here visiting.
Grandma and Grandpa with Caleb, they were so excited to meet him and spend his first few days with him!
Grandma and Caleb, a little time holding him in his new chair.
Grandpa and Caleb, here he is swaddled up and spends most of his sleeping time like that.
Sleeping on Daddy after he ate...he loves his blanket he got at the hospital and how could you not it is minky on one side and satin on the other.
Another shot of Daddy and Son sleeping together, again not posed :)
I can't help but post these, so cute when he is sleeping...
A shot of Grandma and Uncle Elvis the day they were leaving.  We were so glad to have them all here and missed them as soon as they left!
