The children were VERY anxious to come meet new baby brother. I wasn't really sure if Corbin ever actually "got" the concept that there was a baby in my belly and that eventually, there would be a new baby in our home. We read a lot of books, I gave him a baby doll to practice being a big brother with, and we talked about the new baby every time a new item (swing, tiny diapers, bouncy seat, carseat, etc) arrived in our home, but I just wasn't convinced that Corbin truly understood what was happening.
When the big day came, to my surprise, Corbin was all smiles and announced, "that's my baby Shoren" and "awww he's so cute!" to everyone. He knew right away that this baby belonged with us and would be coming home to stay.
Our little momma, Reese, is obsessed with this baby. If Soren so much as squeaks, it is immediately followed by the sound of Reese's feet thundering across the room to check on him and give him a pacifier, sing him a song, or re wrap his blanket to make sure he is comfortable. Today, she took him out of bed and put him in the swing. I was livid (the children are not allowed to carry the baby around) but my frustration couldn't last against the cuteness of the sight of Reese singing a lullaby to Soren and rocking him gently in the swing. Adorable.
These two are VERY protective of their baby and offer to "babysit" constantly.

Your kids are so sweet! I hope Evie surprises me, like Corbin did you, cause right now, she wants nothing to do with little babies. Good thing she has a few months to get used to the idea of being a big sister.
