meeting the bigs

madelyn asked not to go to school today because she couldn't stand the idea of being away from her new brother. she didn't want to share him with daddy either and told everyone that came in about her baby brother. she is really proud of how good a big sister she is to maddux already.



mason was interested in maddux and did a very nice job of touching him gently but was more interested in checking out the hospital room and drinking water from my styrofoam cup with a bendy straw. in the picture with him smiling he was genuinely happy to be checking out maddux. that is, until he started trying to pull the blankets off of him and had to be removed.
here are a few more pictures of matt with the kids. it occurred to me in preparing this post that i didn't have any pictures of me with maddux yet. so there will have to be more pictures to come. love.

These are the sweetest pictures of Maddie holding Maddux. I think Mason might be the reason God made Maddux so big. He will definitely have to be able to hold his own. Love all the pictures!

I can't get over his size. At least since he's not teeny tiny, you won't have to worry as much about his 'bigs' handling him... maybe... well maybe not worry about Madelyn.

He is so adorable. I loved watching Maddie hold him tonight. It was the sweetest thing. Mason was so curious too -- not always about Maddux, but wait till you both get home. Wow you all have a lot of changes coming up. Thanks for the pictures. It is so hard to be far away. Love, Nana G.
