Today was the first day it really seemed "real" to Cameron and Anne's kids that they had a new baby brother because they finally got to hold him.
The first day he was born, he had to go to NICU, so when I took them to the hospital, they only got to see him all connected up to tubes and lines, and Mason didn't get to go in at all, so I'm not sure he even knew his mommy had the baby. These are pictures Cameron took of when Anne got to hold him for the first time after the NICU experience.
Sydney, especially couldn't wait to hold him, and she really spent her time with him.
Sydney wanted to show me his tiny foot.
Mason wanted to hold Baby Gavin--it looks like Gavin actually enjoyed having his "big" brother hold him.
But mostly the kids liked being by their mother and enjoyed having her hug them and play with them. They have really missed her and their daddy during this hospital stay!
They have been so good for me while I've stayed with them, but no one takes the place of a mommy and a daddy!
So, it was a special visit for all of us.
Oh, and I got to hold Gavin, too, and got to know our 24th grandchild a little better. What a sweet little guy!
Mason cried half the way home and kept saying, "Ma" and "Da". It broke my heart, but we soon had him playing and happy again. It won't be long now and they can all be a happy family again.
