The Chunky Monkeys: Little Christian!

It only took 3.5 weeks before I found time to write a post about Christian (and upload pictures from my camera)! Chris arrived weighing 8 lbs 4 ounces (4 ounces more than Andrew). The new baby barely made any noise on the first day (he sounded like a little puppy and made tiny noises). I was not thrilled, however, when Christian found his outside voice the second night in the hospital!

Andrew seems to love his little brother and always asks to kiss and hold him. Today, Andrew ran to his brother's room when he heard Christian cry. Andrew pushed open the door to Christian's room (which I have to remember to close more tightly), and proceeded to try to grab Christian out of the swing. Luckily for us, Andrew was not yet able to pick up an 8 lb baby yet, otherwise he would have dropped Christian on his head. We do have to watch Andrew very carefully - he is always trying to climb into the bassinet when Christian is in there or pull Christian's blanket out and throw it back into the bassinet (and inadvertently cover Christian's face). We'll have to see how much longer Andrew keeps up this act of pretending to like his brother. The pediatrician did warn us that Andrew may start acting differently as soon as Christian starts playing with Andrew's toys and much loved trucks!
