Big Brother

When Jason first walked into the hospital room, he was a little shy because we had a lot of visitors and everyone was watching his reaction.  But, after a bit of coaxing from Dad and being given a gift from a friend, he was in the mood to meet his new baby brother.

Before we left to the hospital, we had Jason pick out one of his baby toys to give to his baby brother.  He wrapped it up as a present.  So, when he was ready, we let him open the present and give it to Bryan.  It was this little car rattle.  We also had a present to Jason from Bryan - it was a little super hero car.  I think it helped him have an automatic positive reaction to the new addition to our family. 

The first look 

Jason just sat there and watched Bryan for a while. 

He gave him hugs.

and it seemed like he just adored him.  He kept saying "he's so tee-oot!"

just so fascinated with "Baby" - he didn't call him Bryan yet. 

Now, he'll call him "Baby Bryan" but never just Bryan.  I think it's cute that he refers to him as a definite baby. 

a little kiss  

he's a happy big brother! 

he loves to hold him at different points during the day, and gets excited when he wakes up. 

and he loves to give him kisses. 

and tells us to do the same. 

but he soon looses interest and finds other things to play with - like this closet in our hospital room. 

it was his favorite little hiding place.
