Big Brother Meets Little Brother

Jeremiah was a little unsure of things at first.  Here was Momma in a hospital bed surrounded by lots of people and she was holding a baby.

It didn't take him long to want to check out his new brother, Elisha.

 

Momma and her boys.

Pappy was close by to offer a little reassurance.

Going in for a closer look with Grandma Beth.

 

Watching Elisha get his first bath - he screamed through most of it.  Jeremiah calls it "making noises" which sounds so much nicer than "the baby is crying"

Cousins

It was a sight to behold - the cousins meeting sweet Elisha for the first time...

This little cousin was so excited that she was "dancing" .  Kaleah could NOT contain her excitement, her Joy - you can see it in her face.  She loved on her new cousin and was happy to snuggle with him.  It made this Gram feel good to watch her!

Chloe is really into babies!  She has been praying for a healthy baby for their family for months and was super excited when she learned that Auntie and AJ were having babies.  She was DELIGHTED to finally hold and snuggle her new cousin, Elisha.  I can't remember all the sweet little murmurings she made and the things she said while holding Elisha, but it was a JOY to watch and listen to her.  (Chloe will have another little sister who is due in mid-August.)

Lilly looked a little hesitant at first, then came in for a closer look.  She was the youngest cousin, not quite 2 when Elisha was born.  She didn't act interested in holding him - just looking and touching.  I can't wait to see how she handles being a Big Sister in 4 weeks.
