when madelyn met mason

when madelyn first got to the room she was on the verge of tears and calling for, "mommy". it stopped shortly after she was helped up into bed with me so that she could get a close up look at "brother". she accepted his name as "mason" right away though. her first concern was to give him lots of hugs. it was so sweet how she kept hugging him and saying, "hi, mason".

in the video she loses interest in mason in favor of my breakfast - specifically my grapes, but for most of the morning she has just been interested in hugging, holding, and touching mason.



daddy helped her to hold mason after she got her fill of my grapes (read: ate every single one of them). she is really excited to be the big sister! she sits in the bed with me to watch mason sleep in the crib and wants to touch him the whole time. she really, really seems to love petting his hair. she does manage to keep the touching to his blanket while he is sleeping though.

other comments on mason:

- his cry is a lot louder than madelyn's was at birth.

- he has a pretty solid head of hair and it seems pretty similar to how madelyn's was when she was born; maybe slightly more blond than hers was though.

thank you to everyone for all the well wishes! love.
