12 days old and all's well!

At Boofer's 12 day old mark, I am finally starting to feel normal again. Mr. Boo has actually gotten within inches of his brother. Mr. Boo has not been very social with the baby, probably because I banished him for a week when he had a cold and Boo did not know there was a baby in the house.



Mr. Boo did have a bonding moment with his brother. He was in Boofer's room, and suddenly started shouting "Melmo! Melmo!" and rushed out of the room. He returned clutching one of his diapers featuring Elmo. In great excitement, he pointed to Boofer's diaper in the garbage can, which also featured Elmo! Matching diapers! How totally cool! Other than that, he's tried to push him off my lap a couple times, but has otherwise ignored him.

I did coax him up to pat the baby today. I showed him how to pat the baby gently. Mr. Boo took a swing and whapped him a good one on the chest. We'll have to work on that "gentle" thing. At least he touched him, right?

Oh the joys of introducing baby #1 (at any age) to baby #2.

When we first introduced Makae to Cade he thought she was fun at first and then got bored of her and pointed to the crib and told us to "Put it away" just like she was a toy.

I am glad you are feeling better.
