First Week

Here's some highlights from our first week with Raleigh!

April 19, 2011 - Our first family photo.  Liesl snapped it with her iPhone.


April 20, 2011 - Leanne and baby rested after she stayed up all night looking at him.


April 21, 2011 - Erik & Baby.


April 22, 2011 - We leave the hospital.  We stayed as long as we could, but now we're off to face the world!


April 23, 2011 - Auntie Rozie and Uncle Alan visited us.  Allison looks in wonder at her new cousin.


April 24, 2011 - Easter.  Leanne wanted an Easter picture, but it didn't happen.  We did get our first bath that day, though.


April 25, 2011 - Raleigh learned a new trick today.  As soon as we changed him, he would poop in the clean diaper.  Then as we were changing the second diaper, he'd pee all over the changing pad.  He did this twice.  Each time, we'd tell each other "Happy Anniversary!"  Raleigh outdid himself that evening.  Leanne was changing him herself, and then he peed all over the changing table.  She stripped him down and then carried the naked baby downstairs to get Erik to help.  Then he pooped all over her.  Happy Anniversary!


April 26, 2011 - Raleigh's one week appointment was today.  He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz, so he already gained 3 oz.  We are so proud of him!  We had a feeling he was a good eater...
