Big Brother!

As I'm sure you have heard by now, Justus's little sister, Piper Eden, was born two weeks early on December 23, 2010 @ 2:12am!! Weighing in at a whopping 5lbs, 15oz and measuring 19in long, she is a little peanut (or 'our little nut' as we have already started calling her!). So Justus is now officially a big brother and so far he is handling it like a little champ :)Here he is at the hospital meeting her for the first time on December 24. He got on the bed and wanted to hold her right away.
Leaning in for a smooch... he held her for a few minutes and that was about all his two-year-old attention span could handle!! I think he got bored after he realized she doesn't do much except lay there and he was more interested in pushing the buttons on my bed!
But back at home he kept sneaking in some brother/sister cuddles :)
He loves to nuzzle up to her which is super cute (and it makes his head seem HUGE next to her tiny little noggin!!).
We snuck her in his bed last night when he was sleeping...then we showed him this picture this morning! He didn't seem to mind that he unknowingly shared his bed with his little sis.
He was excited this morning that she had her eyes open (a rare occurrence since she sleeps about 98% of the time!). Not that I'm complaining... :)
More belly snuggles. Too cute! Can't wait to watch them grow up together!!
