Meeting the new brother

Greg and I were so excited for the kids to meet their new brother.
Grandma and Grandpa Fowler were watching Gavin, Enoch and Kate.  Greg called them after we were settled and they were more than happy to bring them down to the hospital (after dinner at IHOP).
Gavin was thrilled with his little brother.  Gavin loves newborns - holding them, feeding them, talking to them.  He was also impatient to meet his brother, so this was an exciting day for him.
Enoch was also excited to meet his brother.  He was more interested in what and how babies work than his actual baby.  What a fun novelty and science experiment the baby was to Enoch.  He asked a lot of questions and was particularly interested in the baby's umbilical cord.
Kate so wanted to hold the baby, but she was also a bit apprehensive.  She looked and looked for quite awhile before she asked to hold him.  She kept whispering, "He is so little."  It melted by heart when she gave him a small kiss on his head.
It was a wonderful time for our family to all be together.  It was amazing, sweet and humorous to see the kid's reactions to the baby.  It was great!

Guard's face reminds me of Kate's a bit. What a cute boy, and great addition to your family!
