The Family of Four

Everyone has been very curious about how Alia is reacting to being a big sister now and frankly, the jury is still out. She came up to the hospital twice to visit while we were there. The first day she was a little confused and was just trying to figure out the new place that she was in. But, she knew who baby Max was and had been looking at his pictures with Miss Jamie before they had come to visit. She knows that he is her baby brother and she is the big sister. She is very interested in him, but just hasn't exactly figured out what to do with him yet and how to interact with him. On the way home, sitting next to Max for the first time in their car seats she said, "Come here baby Max. I want to hug him." Tonight she enjoyed touching his little feet and even gave him a night-night kiss before bed.
