Noelle & Wyatt (Part 1)

About a year ago, Noelle's life changed forever. A little boy named Wyatt was born and moved into the house. Obviously, Brittney and I were beyond thrilled with our new baby. Noelle on the other hand was a little unsure.

As we got close to Brittney's due date we did our best to prepare Noelle. Occasionally, I would hold a stuffed animal in my lap and pretend to give it attention. We also washed some of Wyatt's clothes with his special baby detergent and left them around the house so that Noelle would get used to the smell. Wyatt was born on March 30, 2007 and a few days later we brought him home from the hospital. Noelle was anxiously running around the house when we arrived because it had been forever (in her mind...ok and mine too) since she had last seen seen me. I wanted to make sure that the first thing we did was introduce baby Wyatt to Noelle. As I bent down to her while holding the baby I could almost read her mind... A new toy!?! A giant cookie?!? Hold on a second what the heck is this thing? Actually, Noelle handled the entire situation very well. She gently sniffed Wyatt and even gave him a little kiss.

Here are a few pictures from the first days of Wyatt & Noelle:
