First Introductions

After Wren and Judson were born, we had a steady stream of visitors to meet the newest members of the family.  One of the first was Caleb who came to the hospital to meet his new baby sister and brother.  Because Judson was in the NICU, he couldn't yet meet him, but he was able to meet Wren.

 Mommy was awfully happy to see him!






I think this is when it finally clicked with him that the babies in Mommy's belly that we were always talking about were real!
We also had many other visitors those first few days, both in the hospital and at home.  Here are a few pictures we remembered to take (unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures with many of our visitors):






 When we first got home with Wren (while Judson was still in the hospital), Caleb started to show some signs of jealousy, which is perfectly normal, of course.  On the first day, he head butted Wren (although I think it was just an accident) and threatened to bite her.  And you should have seen his face when we brought Judson home!  It seemed to say, "So you really weren't kidding about that two babies thing?!  When are you going to stop bringing babies home?!"  Now, he's adjusted well to his new role as big brother.  He will kiss their heads and check on them when they're crying (with our vigilant supervision).  It's really quite funny when one or both of the babies is crying.  Caleb will scrunch up his face and say, "Crying" or "Upset."  He still has his jealous moments, but they are becoming fewer and far between.

I pray that this is the beginning of a lifelong beautiful and loving relationship between Caleb and his new sister and brother!
