Baby Rory comes home to stay!

In the afternoon (after the Patriots game) we prepared for the trip home! Rory changed into his new outfit with bear feet. He wasn't as excited as Mom and Dad were.

In fact the whole process was sort of exhausting.

Rory wore his festive Thanksgiving bib home (originally it was Big Sister's, only the start of the hand-me-downs)

We crammed Rory into the proper cram-carrier, he tolerated it.


Mom and Dad are very proud of their new son! (The nurse took a pretty poor picture, but come on, he's a second child, so one was enough I guess.)




We weren't home long before we needed to get Baby Rory out and hold him.




This is a great picture of our new family, except Nima who wouldn't stay put.




Taya wanted to help Daddy bring Rory in.

This is the first step in the door, everyone was very excited!


While Tracy and I were trying to get out of the hospital on Thanksgiving (which took all day, literally until 4 pm), Grammy was at home with Taya making an impressive meal! Shown below was the kitchen feast that we walked into. Notice she is unloading the dishwasher, that thing usually has a day or two to rest in between cycles, hopefully it doesn't get worn out!


Taya gives Rory very soft and gentle kisses and cuddles.



Taya really likes to look at and hold Rory's little hands.


Big Sister wanted to watch (and poke) new Baby Brother.



Mom had plenty of help, good thing Moms don't have personal bubbles that could potentially be invaded. Rory is a great eater already. He had a great latch from the very beginning.




Nima wanted to be a part of everything, just a little closer...





After we arrived home Rory slept for about 3-4 hours in his co-sleeper that we had moved into the living room. He was more than happy to not have nurses poking him every 1-2 hours.



Of course, Nima was VERY interested in kissing the new baby! Grammy allowed her just a few kisses while they cuddled. All night Nima had to be next to Mom in bed to nurse as well. She gave some pretty forceful growls when we tired to adjust her.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
