Because Brooklyn was born so late Saturday night, James met Brooklyn after sacrament, so around 10:30 am on Sunday. He came to the hospital along with Matt, Grandma Mauger, Grandpa Mauger and Aunt Amber. He was very interested in looking at her, but didn’t say much. He knew that the baby was his sister and that her name was Brooklyn, but other than that he didn’t say too much. When we asked him if he wanted to hold her, he immediately said yes and climbed in bed with me to hold her. He held her for a few minutes- he was so soft and delicate with her!
We previously decided to have Brooklyn “give” James a present just so James could warm up to Brooklyn quickly- as soon as we gave him the present he was off the bed completely distracted with his new toy.
Since Brooklyn has been here, James has been EXTREMELY lovable towards Brooklyn- he gives her a kiss at least once every 30 minutes and says, “Bookin (Brooklyn) so cute”. In the past month, he has only hit her twice…. which is amazing because he is an aggressive little boy (something we work tirelessly on). Whenever Brooklyn is crying he always says (in a higher pitched voice), “Its ok Brooklyn”. He is a very good little boy who loves his little sister!
Here is James holding Brooklyn for the first time:

This picture below makes James look HUGE compared to Brooklyn… he is growing up so FAST!!!

Ohmygosh. I love all your baby posts of Brooklyn! And I LOVE that you mentioned your fears of being the adequate mother of two. I'm worried about ONE! It seems like you've got this motherhood business in the bag ;-) And you look beautiful in your photos!
