In order to avoid bring a toddler to the hospital during quiet hours, Max and I were able to go and visit later that afternoon. Unfortunately, Max fell asleep in the car on the way there, so it wasn't until the next day that he really met his brother. Well, he did wake up while we were at the hospital but remained completely indifferent until the next day.
Honestly I just can't get enough of this kid. I could seriously hold him forever and never get tired of it. Thankfully, Jackie and her little family was staying with us before they moved to Oklahoma so I was able to get plenty of Nic time in. I just love squishy little babies, and he's the sweetest, cutest, squishiest there is.
And here are my sweet boys. They moved to Oklahoma yesterday and the house is way too quiet. I just miss them so much.
But Heavenly Father knew I was going to miss them and blessed me with some tender mercies my last little bit with them. The night before they moved, Jackie handed Nic to me after he ate and I promised I'd give him back when he was hungry again. But this sweet boy just slept in my arms for hours and hours, which is something since he seems to eat constantly. Then that same night as I was getting into bed, Max, who's been sleeping in my room, woke up with a bad dream or something and came and slept in my bed with me. Then the next day I was able to prompt him to say "I miss you" and "I love you" in his sweet little voice. In addition I was able to hold Nico again for ages while his eyes were open and looking at me. I just love them.
My biggest fear is that they'll forget me as they go traveling around the world with their parents. I am blessed though for the time I've had with them. Especially to have been so close to Max these past few years. We're pretty much BFF. I can't wait to see them when we come visit in August.

aw what a beautiful baby! and that picture of him and max together where he's sleeping on max's shoulder is just toooo adorable.
he does seem to be quite a cute little "squishy" boy. He's a good size, and he is huge when I think about how small Jackie is. I'm glad you got to spend time with them, and I'm sure he will be a great kid. I base this on my own odd fondness for Max, and how great I think he is.
He's a cute little baby. Reminds me of when my sister gave birth last month. I'm sure Max'll remember you. My nephew just started getting a memory recently and if I remember correctly, Max is older. Way sweet.
