First Liam had to pass the car seat test. He was to happy about being strapped in and not being held. He was so tiny we had to roll blankets and put them at his sides to make it safer. It was such a huge eye opener that our baby was so tiny. The clothes he's wearing were premie and way too big for him. After all he was born weighting 2 lbs 4 oz and I believe he was around 4-5 pounds here.
We couldn't go out in the chilly SanFransico air without his beanie.
And then the BIG moment. The one when it all became real. They cut the bracelet and security tag off little lambs ankle. Seems redundant since it slipped off him daily but the whole "ceremony" of it was so uplifting and symbolic.
Then finally Lanie's wish came true and she finally got to hold her baby brother. She held him like a pro, supporting his head without being told. She'd say "I know I know mom" and she called him her baby. He was hers and she wouldn't hear any different.
Liam's Tia finally got to hold him for the first time that day. There were tears. Liam was just as happy to be in his Tia's arms.
You can just see so much love here. Liam couldn't stop looking at his cousin chase.
And then it was cousin Kaylas turn. Not only was this her first time holding "the bean" but it was the first time she got to see him. It was love at first sight.
