Bringing Alyssa Home

We checked out of the hospital Tuesday afternoon. We actually stayed in the hospital less than 24 hours from Alyssa's birth. It was a quick stay, but the boys were sure happy to have both Mom and Alyssa home.

Benjamin couldn't wait to hold his sister as soon as we walked in the door to the house.
Of course if Benjamin got to hold her Ryan had to hold her as well. He was so cute. "Me hold her, Me hold her" he kept repeating until it was his turn. He held her very nicely. It was a good thing I was sitting right next to him because when he was done holding her he was done...he pushed her right off his lap as I quickly got a hold of her so she did not go flying. After I had a hold of her Ryan stood up on the couch right next to us and decided that he wanted to wrestle with Alyssa. He laid right on top of her and wrapped his arms around her just like he does with the boys when they are wrestling on the floor. Alyssa is definately going to grow up being tough with him for a big brother. We haven't had any more of those incidents yet - knock on wood.


We didn't get a picture of Tyler at home with Alyssa so I added the picture from the hospital. I guess I did not take another picture of tyler and her because he holds her so much I always think I can grab the camera next time. I need to stop making excuses and take more pictures. Itis not uncommon for Tyler to pick up Alyssa and hold her while he is watching a movie, cartoons or just because. The other day we had to run an errand and I brought the snuggly to carry Alyssa around in since we do not have an infant carrier and Tyler actually ended up carrying her for the time that we were out and about.
