Mothers Day

On Mothers Day Charlotte was dedicated at church! Here we are in front of the house afterwards. James was sleeping upstairs so he missed the pictures!

Goodnight Charlotte

We usually put Charlotte in her crib before putting James to bed so he thinks she is going to bed too- here he is in her crib saying goodnight! It is so sweet how he sits with her or lays down next to her! It makes bedtime fun!

Charlotte - 4 weeks old

Charlotte sleeping!

Night Night!

Our first night home, we took Charlotte upstairs with us when taking James to bed and we stopped in Charlottes room and showed him that this was where she would be sleeping. We hvae shown him this room every night for a month now, but this time was way more exciting because Charlotte was home!

As soon as we put Charlotte in the crib, James wanted to get up there too. He crawled all around her and checked it all out. He showed her some of her toys and then he layed down next to her. I did not get the picture of him putting his head down next to her because I was crying - it was soooo sweet!

The facination with Charlotte continues!

James likes to check out every thing Charlotte is doing and likes to look in on her often! We had the bassinet in the living room for a while and James was enjoying standing on the couch to look in on her. I think she was checking him out too! Then he thought it would be a good idea for him to get in the bassinet too!

James kisses his sister for the first time

After changing Charlotte, James wanted to get really close with Charlotte and mommy, so he climbed on my lap while I held her. Brian told him to give her a kiss and he went in without hesitation. He is doing so much better than we ever could have expected with his new sister and he does not mind her being here at all!

One of these pics, I was burping her and he stopped me, I guess he thought I was hitting her- then he started to "burp" her. He is so helpful - he hands me wipes and gets really close to her and then backs away. SO CUTE!

Charlotte comes home

On Sunday we were able to bring Charlotte home, just 2 days after she was born. We were anxious to bring her home to her Big Brother James and see how he would be with this baby at HIS house! He saw her at the hospital and I dont think he realized she was coming to live with us!

It went great. He was just as curious and just likes to look at her and smile like a proud big brother! It is so great to see him with her. He is so curious and just wants to get a closer look!
