Brotherly Love

Everyone keeps asking how Everett's reacting to having a new sibling in the house. We've only been home from the hospital since Thursday afternoon, but so far, so good. Actually, he doesn't pay too much attention to her. He usually notices her once or twice a day, wants to give her a kiss and then he's off playing with trains and cars.

But the other day he was absolutely precious. Completely unprovoked by me, he came up to Juliana and starting loving on her. As you can see from the pictures, he appeared to be in absolute heaven. It was the first time since her birth that I thought, "Alright, this is going to work and they're going to be friends!"


(I especially love Juliana's crazy-eyed expression in the above photo. Newborns are so funny about focusing on people and things.)

Our sweet little angel sleeping, which is just about all she does. We're keeping our fingers crossed that she's as good of a sleeper as her older brother!
