My baby brother Liam is finally here!  
|  | 
| Isn't he so cute?! | 
For the last few weeks (ever since 
my baby cousin James was born), I kept asking my mommy every time we went to the doctor if she was going to help get baby Liam out now.  Mommy just kept saying "Not yet, but soon."  I was starting to think it was never going to happen, but then last Monday, it did!  I went to bed on Sunday night at home with Mommy and Daddy, but when I woke up on Monday morning, they were gone and Papa was here.  I was so excited to see Papa that I didn't even ask him where Mommy and Daddy were.  I guess they had to go to the hospital while I was sleeping because Liam was ready to come out.  Papa took me to school, and while I was there, Baby Liam was born!  Nana picked me up and told me he was here, and we were going to the hospital to meet him.  I was so excited!  I got a special big sister sticker when we checked in, and then we went in to Mommy and Liam's room to meet him.  I got to hold him all by myself, and he was heavier than I thought!  He weighed 8 lbs 8 oz (which is half a pound more than me when I was born!), and was 20 inches long.

| He was heavy, so I decided I'd rather have some help from Nana. |

All of the rest of Mommy's family came to the hospital to meet him, too.  Mommy & Liam had to stay there for a couple of days, and Daddy stayed with them, so I stayed at Nana & Papa's house.  I got to go back to visit every day, though, and now we're all back at home together!

| Uncle Chris still needs some practice, but he's getting better! | 
|  | 
| I just love his little face! | 
|  | 
| I especially love when he smiles in his sleep | 
|  | 
| I love being a big sister! | 
Now that we're all home, I've gotten more practice holding him and playing with him, and I can hold him all by myself now with Mommy & Daddy close by.  I love to read him books and give him his binky.  I can't wait until he and my cousin James get bigger, and I can teach them all kinds of fun stuff!
 
Emily, this child is your mini me! I can't get over it! Glad to hear Cate approves of her baby brother that she can hold all by herself. :)
