Stella Meets Malcolm

Stella spent the night at Grandma Dibble's house the night that Malcolm was born. Malcolm was born at 10:26 p.m., but we didn't name him until much later so we didn't make any announcement phone calls until he was named. I really wanted to call Stella first, but we decided not to put Grandma through the rest of that night trying to calm Stella back down. You're welcome Grandma. :) (just kidding, thank you so much for taking her).

Grandma woke Stella up early the next morning and suddenly our take-forever-to-get-ready-for-school daughter turned into Superman in a phone booth and was dressed in record time and in the car ready to come home and meet her new baby brother before school started!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! It was fairly emotional witnessing Stella meeting Malcolm for the first time.

Stella got right under the covers with me so she could finally hold her little brother. She's been waiting just as long as we have. She loves him so much and already he is absolutely hilarious to her. Every little face and every little noise received a burst of laughter. They are going to be great together. And they'll share everything . . .

. . . whether they want to or not.

I love my children. Children. I have children. :)
