The first few weeks...

We had lots of visitors once we got home from the hospital (the second day of Hayes' life, mind you). The grandparents couldn't get enough, and GG got to stay for the whole first week to help me get accustomed to the world of mommy hood. I am so thankful for all of the family and friends that have helped us adjust as we've embarked on this new adventure… between gifts and meals and just loving on Hayes, it has definitely been a special few weeks.

Need I say more? 

We celebrated our first Valentine's Day with our little man just three days after he was born. Cody surprised me with the most perfect gift- a Kendra Scott necklace with little man's birthstone. I am so in love with it!

First night of sleep at home

We weren't the biggest fan of our first bath, but Mimi showed us some tricks and with a little music, a warm wash cloth on our belly, and keeping our diaper on until absolutely necessary to remove it, we are much, much happier!

My sweet Valentine… note the Mom socks

Hayes had a special visit from Grandma and Grandad and we loved having them here. Grandma stayed for a week after GG left and helped us get into a routine a little more. What a lucky little guy Hayes is to be loved so much!
