Later That Day...



Mia had quite a first day of life. Since it was Thanksgiving, our families were all nearby so we had lots of visitors that first day. Of course Daddy was there. They had already become cozy buddies.
 That morning, Big Brother Noah arrived with Uncle Jon, Aunt Jenn and Cousin Jack. Mimi and Pop-Pop were there, too! At first Noah was quite apprehensive about being in the hospital and meeting his little sister for the first time.
 At first he was only OK with sitting with Mommy on the bed.
 Then he got a little bit closer to Mia. Baby steps, people!
 He said she was very, very cute. Score one for the little sister.
 It probably helped that Mia had a gift for her new big brother to open.
 Oh, boy, a Batman helicopter. OK, I guess his new sister is not so bad after all.
Now for some great snuggle shots of Mia with her relatives. Here is Mimi with her first granddaughter. Mia sure does look cozy!
Pop-Pop was so happy to finally meet his new granddaughter, too. Just in time for that big fishing trip.
 Uncle Jon was instantly smitten with his new niece. She loved him as well.
 And Aunt Jenn was thrilled to hold her niece, too! Hurray, a girl in the family!
 Jack was quite intrigued by his new cousin. He loved watching her sleep and was very gentle.
 By the end of the visit, Noah warmed up to his sister a bit more and agreed to pose for our first family photo. He was not ready to hold her or touch her yet...this was about as close as he was willing to get. Then he was off to have dinner at Mimi and Pop-Pop's house and to spend the night. See you tomorrow, Big Brother!
A few hours later, Jeff's family came by on their way to Mimi and Pop-Pop's house for Thanksgiving dinner. She sure loved visiting with Tutu, Sir and Aunt Nora!
What an awesome first day you had, little Mia Patricia! Can't wait to take you home tomorrow...
