One Month Old

It's been a busy first month. Finn is now 7 lbs 12 oz and has been home for two weeks now. Cohen has had a difficult time adjusting, but has not directed any of his frustrations or emotions at Finn. Cohen is mostly concerned with Mommy's attention being diverted away from him, but he seems to like the baby so far. Finn sleeps much of the time and is feeding really well. We are lucky and thankful that he's so healthy and thriving. We are slow to introduce him to family and friends because his immune system is quite weak and we need to limit any exposure to germs, but overall he's doing extremely well and we're so happy to have him home!

This is what all the fuss has been about?

I caught Cohen sneaking a peek at Finn and took these pictures. He wasn't too interested in the baby when he came home and definitely not when everyone else was making a fuss. He had no interest in holding Finn or even talking about him. But, when the adults weren't pushing him to interact with the baby, he would check out Finn or try to touch him or give him a soother. I've loved watching these little moments!

Thank you for the balloons Oma!

Playing with the new choo choo that Baby Finn gave to his big brother.

So happy to finally have him home!

Meeting My Brother

Cohen was finally able to meet Finn on the day that he was discharged from the hospital (no children were allowed to visit the special care nursery). We introduced Cohen and Finn to one another in the hallway of the hospital. Cohen was only mildly interested in Finn. After all the talk about "Baby Finn", I think it was a bit anti-climatic for him.
