More pictures of the Family of 4

This is a picture on request from Wammy. Its weird, the first person I thought of when I saw this one was my brother Bryce.
I was so surprised by Ellis' reaction. He doesn't seem jealous of her at all. He always asks if he can touch her and if she is crying he makes a pitiful face and says "baby sister sad."
I can not believe how good I feel. With Ellis the first time I tried to get up I passed out and I don't think I actually stepped foot outside of my room until 3 days after he was born. When we finally did get home I basically layed in bed or sat on the couch while Trevor and my mom served me. With Alaire I got to leave the hospital the following day (we are home) and I'm tired but I think it's crazy how nearly normal I'm feeling.
I thought this was so cute. He kept asking me if she had shoes on so finally I took her feet out to show him and tried to explain that she probably would only be wearing socks for a while.

Ellis thought it was very important that he have a bracelet just like the rest of the family so our nurse gave him a button and a bracelet that say Big Brother. He shows it to everyone that comes in.
Oma got here just a few hours after Alaire was born.
GG got to come to see her as well. Alaire is her 13th great grandchild.
I was holding her and he decided he needed to be up there too.
Another family photo.

she does look like Bryce in that first picture! I love her hat. It is so cute. Has Ellis started calling her Alaire yet or does he still call her it?

Cassie, you don't look like you just had a baby. It looks like to me that Ellis is keeping a close watch on her and tell him the shoe thing will come soon enough. Great job Cassie.

They're both so cute and sweet, Cassie! They make me think of my 2 almost a year and a half ago. :( I did the same thing feeling 100x better after I had Layni than Turner - maybe you're just used to it the second time. Who knows?! I'm praying for you as you adjust to having 2. Appreciate the help you get while everybody's there!
