3 Weeks Old

Today is Kyle's first day back to work and Grant is offically 3 weeks old. Time sure flies when you are sleeping in and changing diapers left and right. I hope time slows down a bit so I can enjoy this time home with my guy.

We visited Kyle's parents yesterday and Esther is looking great after her most recent (and hopefully final) surgery. Grant showed off for his grandparents and rolled over from his tummy to his back- 3 times. My mother saw him do this a few days ago but it just did not register that he could actually roll over. I mean he is just three weeks old, which is very early for this kind of thing. This is the first sign that he has Kyle's athletic genes!


This picture below is of Grant in a 1 year old onesie. I am going to take his picture in this every month to watch how fast he grows.

These are some of Kyle's baby photos. Look at all of that hair!

The First Few Days....

The first few days at home have been wonderful and much better than we expected. We are adjusting quite well despite the new schedule. At night we sleep two hours, feed and then slap on a new diaper, sleep 2 hours...... We actually do not feel too tired. I think we are just so excited to have our little guy. He really squeals for food and when he gets changed. "Oh, that air is so chilly" he says!

Today, Grandma and Grandpa W came by for a visit and brought Great Grandpa Woods. Here is a photo of the 4 generations of Woods' boys (Bill, Ken, Kyle, and Grant).
Here we are getting ready for our first walk. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this week and we thought it would be nice to get some fresh air and try out the stroller before the rain comes. He loved his first ride and he slept through it all despite the bumpy sidewalks, wind, and a bit of Dad's crazy driving.
Saturday was Grant's first Husky Football Saturday. Grandma and Grandpa H watched the game with us at home and we had the fist apple crisp of the season (delicious!). Aunt Marcie brought the newest Husky fan a cute little hat. Thanks to the lucky hat, we managed to scrape by and win the game.

Welcome Baby Grant

Kyle and I are so excited to announce our baby boy has arrived! He is a sweet baby and has a very gentle demeanor (so far). It is so hard to tell whose traits he has yet, but he definately has the Woods' frown face. He has a good amount of dark hair and big hands and feet. Is that baseball we see in his future??

The labor went much better than I imagined. It started with gentle aches and contractions at work on Monday and then after dinner, they grew stronger. By 1:00 a.m. we were at the hospital and 4 cm along. By 2:30 a.m. we were 8 cm along. Then I got the epidural and the labor stalled a bit, but boy was it a relief! We were released from the hospital at 1:00 p.m. today and feeling very comfortable and content at home.

Thanks for all the well wishes and stay tuned for more photos and baby news!

5 Years!

On September 18th, Kyle and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Time has flown by so fast! We have had a great 5 years, but are so excited for our new little baby. For our anniversary, we went on a outing to Port Townsend and found the most fabulous cheese. Is there anything better than cheese for your anniversary? I cannot think of a single thing. For fun, I thought you might like to see a wedding picture and current picture to see how we have changed.

The baby shower

Marcie did an amazing job hosting the baby shower. Sis, you are hostess with the mostess. If you cannot tell by the photos it was a camping theme, complete with a "campfire." Finn was all dressed up for the party in his scarf- too cute! I am so lucky to have such great family and friends. Little Grant sure has lots of folks to love him! A shout out to Sandra and Mandy for the super yummy treats and Mandy (my crafty girl) I cannot get enough of those campfire cookies! Thanks everyone for such a fun day.

Kyle's Daddy Shower

We are behind on posts, so I have alot to share with you. First, Kyle's sis, Monika through a fabulous daddy shower for Kyle on Labor Day weekend complete with dude food (sliders and beer). Here are a few pics from the event. We are so lucky to have such great family and friends. Sorry in advance for the limited photos-my memory card died.

The Nursery!

We thought you would like to see some photos of the nursery. We are not the baby blue type so we went for green, blue, and red. Kyle did a custom stain job on the dresser, doesn't it look fancy?

Kyle says the room makes him "sleepy"- hopefully the baby will think so too!
