Welcome Olivia!

We welcomed our daughter Olivia on April 23rd. As parents, of course we immediately adored her. But we weren't sure how Reid would react. He met her for the first time in the hospital when she was 1 day old and seemed appropriately interested in her - curious but unconcerned that Mommy was holding her instead of him, and oblivious to the changes she would bring.


But the real test was bringing her home - to his territory. I'll let you see for yourself how that went:




So far, so good. The cameraman (Ted) clearly assumed Reid had grown tired of her and was moving on to something more interesting. But he quickly realized his error and resumed filming when it became apparent that sweet Reid had just gone to find something to share with his new baby sister:





Awwwww. We'll so how long that lasts...

Big Shoes to Fill

Reid adores his daddy (really, it's hard not to) and wants to do everything Daddy does. But clearly, he's got some big shoes to fill:



He put those on all by himself - I had nothing to do with it!

I'm sure everybody really wants to see the new addition...but I'd already uploaded that video before she made her arrival and I wanted to share it with you. One more time for Reid to shine solo in The Hamilton Times spotlight. Next time, I promise a report on our baby girl!
