12.7.12 - Cousin Jalen Finally Holds Mara

Jalen has been so excited the entire time I have been pregnant to meet his cousin. He would talk to me about it all of the time and would ask to feel her moving whenever we were around. The smile on his face when he came to the hospital to meet her for the first time was priceless. Immediately upon entering our room, he rolled up his sleeves and announced that he needed to wash his hands. He was a little disappointed that his mother wouldn't let him hold her without her help and kept asking to hold her again. Tonight we let him hold her (while sticking very close) for the first time on his own. It was so cute watching him study her intensely. He is going to be such a good older cousin since Mara doesn't have an older brother.
