Gavin holding Gage...

This is a moment that a mother remembers forever, I'm sure. The first time this happened was last week when my mom was here helping me, and the best and only picture we got of it was on her cell phone. The second time this happened (the other night when my friend, Diana, was over) we got pictures, thankfully, and Daddy was home to witness the precious sight too. Gavin says, "Can I hold him?" And then he holds out his little hands right next to each other a few inches from his body and waits. Then, only moments after Gage is in his arms, he says, "You hold him now." I'm so glad that we didn't push this after the first time Gavin expressed interest in the hospital and then changed his mind. It was so much better to have him really want to hold his baby brother and let us know that when he was ready.
