A few firsts

Riley's lip taped down

Not a good pic of me but that's what happens with little sleep!

His first stroller ride....yes I know his head is off to the side. It would not stay upright!

Chilling in his carseat

Well, I think Tony and I are now settling into the parent routine. I'm actually feeling like a mommy now that Riley is home from the hospital. We sure love the little guy and are enjoying our time off with him. It has been a busy week. Since, he's been home we have not had one day where we have stayed at home. Riley had his first pediatrician's appointment on Wednesday which went well. Riley is almost up to his birth weight which is good. Thursday Tony, grandma and grandpa Marchelli, and I went to In N Out, Baby's R Us, and Target with Riley for his first outing. We had to pick up some more baby supplies. Riley did awesome. He slept almost the whole entire time. He woke up right before we went into Target because it was time for a diaper change an a bottle. He was awake for a while in Target but it was to look around. He didn't fuss at all! Yesterday was his first plastic surgeon's appointment. We drove all the way to Mesa (about an hour away from our house) to have him seen. The plastic surgeon started the taping process which prepares him for the NAM device. It was a very short visit but we got the number to the orthodontist who will fit and put in the NAM device and the surgeon instructed Tony and I how to tape. We have called the orthodontist a few times an are waiting for a call back so we can get an appointment with her. Mommy also gave Riley his first bath. Tony and I bought a bathing tub for him. I thought I could just tear away the packaging and throw it in the bathtub but it needed some assembly. Seems how Riley peed all over himself and me, I wanted to get him bathed and back into some fresh clothes asap as he was getting cold so I bathed him by myself in the sink. Not a good idea. Babies are slipperly little suckers. I did fine but will not do it again. Not worth the risk of dropping him. And....Riley was read his first story which was 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. Grandma Marchelli bought him this book along with a book with a bunch of disney stories in them. Enjoy the pics I posted above!
