Malcolm's First Day

Malcolm had a very busy first day. We were so excited for everyone to finally meet him!

Of course Stella was his first visitor.

Grandma Dibble got to be the second because she was the chauffeur. I think she loves him already.

Malcolm was exhausted. So he took a nap on Daddy. Since he couldn't stay in my womb forever, Malcolm decided that this is his new favorite place.

Grandma and Grandpa Anderson visited next. Actually, they visited twice (my house was close and someone had to pee). Dad is comparing Stella's newborn picture to Malcolm. They do look similar.

Aunt Lindsay brought the girls (and lunch) to meet Malcolm. She had to give him up for Grandpa Dibble's visit, but got him back instantly.

Grandpa Dibble visited before his business trip and fell in love.

Brynlee finally got around to holding him and we're happy that Grandma Anderson was nearby when Brynnie decided she was done holding him. I'm sure there will be a lot more shoving Malcolm in the Brynlee/Malcolm future. Hannah wasn't quite ready to hold Malcolm on this day.

Aunt Bethany squeezed in a visit after school.

Grandma Dibble brought Stella back for another visit after her gymnastics class. It was a little bit of torture for Stella to have to leave again.

Our first family-of-four picture.

I like this one though. It's more realistic. :)

Lucy and Xan got to hold Malcolm. It's so fun to hear little kids say his name.

Anabelle lovin' a little Malcolm (Claire patiently waiting her turn).



Clairie finally getting her turn.

Raymond finally has a boy cousin on the Dibble side.

George was at Scouts I think and Adam was feeling crappy, so Malcolm still needs a little more loving from family!

Not pictured, but visited: Emily "Auntie Em" Campbell and kids, Liz Roberts, Jessica Martin, Grace & Jeff Yates, Alison Haasch (my midwife), and I'm sure someone else came too, but give me a break . . . I just had a baby. :)

Malcolm had such a great first day that he decided to stay awake all night!
