Shayla and Mitchell

Shayla had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her baby brother for months! She was so excited to finally meet him! I thought she would jump and run to me and say "Mommy" since I had not seen her in 4 days, but when we went to pick her up from a friends house to bring her home with baby she ran straight to the car asking for "where's my baby brother?". She is so gentle and soft with him and even uses a soft baby voice to talk to him. She is so happy he is here and is constantly kissing and hugging him and asking to hold him. Every time I need to change his diaper she runs to get a diaper for him and his pee pee cover (the cover that prevents baby boys from squirting you which I have already found out can be very messy and require clothes and blanket change for all). She has been so sweet (we hope it lasts!). Yesterday she announced "Mitchell is my bestest brother ever..." so precious. Here are a few shots of them together!

He is absolutely adorable! And Shayla is adorable with her little brother! Congratulations on your sweet little addition to your family. He is a lucky little guy to have such great parents and such a sweet sister to help care for him!
