The First Few Days

Hi! Our baby is finally here! Isaac Nathaniel Smith was born on Tuesday, April 17 (Happy Birthday to Sonali too). We went in to the hospital at 2 am to be induced. The labor was easy and smooth (thank goodness for epidurals) and Isaac was born at 12:45 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. I think he looks just like Travis...our friend, Holly, said it best when she thought he looked like a "mini Smitty."

He has been a little angel so far and we have all loved having such a sweet little baby around. The boys were so excited to see him and are very proud to be big brothers. Barrett thinks it is cool that he is a little brother AND a big brother. Here are some pictures of Isaac's first few days in the big world...

All candid kisses here! Kaleb and Barrett couldn't get enough of their new little brother. They just kept holding, kissing, and hugging him.

A good shot of his hair. We were so excited when he came out with a full set of blonde hair! We thought we would have all bald babies. The nurses kept coming in commenting on his hair. The nursery nurse told us they were in the nursery oogling over him because they very rarely see blonde babies with that much hair.

Whew! Mommy needs a nap!

Isaac's first bath...he screamed and screamed until we put his head under the warm water to rinse his hair and he just sat their so content. So cute!
