The Money Shot


Well, here it is.  It's been 2 weeks since Andrew joined our little family and we finally got the sibling shot. James looks like a very proud big brother, doesn't he?  It's been a slow road getting to this moment. James has always been an observer and takes his time getting comfortable with change. The first day he visited Andrew and I in the hospital he was very overwhelmed and kept his distance.


On day two, he inched a little bit closer (with the help of Grandma), but still maintained enough space to make sure that he was comfortable and Andrew didn't spit up on him.  The skepticism on his face below is priceless!


By the end of the hospital stay, he was feeling bold enough to sit next to his brother and even kiss him on the head - thanks to lots of prodding from Daddy.


When we left the hospital, the big brother pride started kicking in. So much so, that he helped Daddy carry Andrew to the car.  


In the week and a half that Andrew has been home, he has slowly started to show interest. From petting his hands to full on hugs, he is realizing that this kid is not going anywhere and he might as well embrace it!



So here we sit.  Two weeks in to this new life with two little boys who are on their way to being best buddies.  #AwesomeLife
