Jax meets Nathan

Jax spent the week at "camp" (her grandma's house) while we were in the hospital and she finally got to meet her baby brother on the Friday that we got home. We had sent a blanket home with Nathan's scent to try to prep her. I'm not really sure it did much but at least we tried!
She was very curious about this little sound machine that squeaked and peeped but if you ask her if she wants to see "her" baby, she sits like a perfect lady and waits for you to show her the bubs. Then it's just a bunch of sniffing and near-kisses to explore this tiny creature.
She definitely seems more jealous when Ryan is holding him... But seems fine with me taking care of the baby.

This is a terrible shot of me, but it shows how sweet Jax has been trying to be close to us while her brother is around.

We've done our best to pay her attention and let her know she is still loved. I think it will take some adjustment on all our parts, but so far she's been great.
She's also intrigued by the Mama Roo, a fabulous contraption that lulls Nathan to sleep and keeps him entertained. One night we caught her laying by it, keeping watch."I'm not so sure about this..."
