Wells Meets His Brothers

As I mentioned during the course of my pregnancy, one of the perks of #3 was not being afraid that I wouldn't have enough love to share with Wells or that his brothers would react negatively to his arrival.  But once again, my emotions surprised me when the boys actually met their little brother. 

Bennett's first words to me about Wells were "Aw, Mommy, our baby!" which sent my sister in law (and the rest of us) straight into tears in the hospital room. 
 Meanwhile, Cullen has assumed the role of double big brother with flying colors. The biggest jealousy issues we've dealt with are with C having meltdowns when too many people come to visit and he doesn't have a turn to hold Wells, and when W gets gifts but he doesn't (we have had a little Come to Jesus Meeting about that and it has gotten a bit better).
 Otherwise, they are having a great time with their brother,
 insisting that he take part afternoon outside time
and morning cuddles,
 and mid day chats
and check ups (I love this picture so much)
and definitely some evening snuggles
 We couldn't be prouder of our 'big boys' adjusting to their little brother,
 even when they fight over who gets to push the button on the vibrating chair.
 I couldn't feel more blessed to have these three boys as my own.

I just knew he would fit in perfectly! I'm about in tears over here seeing all of these precious pictures, so I can't imagine how you feel seeing it in person. The picture of C and W snuggling is almost too much for me to handle!

Amazing photos Kate. Especially B chatting and C cuddling.

Meghan said...

Wow your boys are great with him! Most older siblings seem ambivalent about a new arrival or think they are annoying. I totally get C not liking the part of not getting gifts when Wells is... I always like to bring a big sibling gift as well to help with that ;-)

Shannon said...

Simply beautiful. And I was going to comment on the "doctor" picture even before reading how much you love it. It's awesome!!

Kristin said...

I'm pretty sure my parents had to have a Come to Jesus meeting with me several times when my twin brothers were babies. They got so much darn attention!

I think Cullen is going to become your biggest helper!
