After there being some concern that Olivia didn't like her new little brother very much (mainly due to refusing to look at Zach in the hospital room and talking about how the baby was still in mommy's tummy!) she really is doing much better. She has actually become a big help and rushes to find the nearest bottle to feed Zach whenever he cries, regardless of whether or not it has been sitting around for a few hours after his last feed! We have tried to explain to her that baby's cry for reasons other than hunger but she has yet refused to believe us.
Thomas of course loved his brother from the beginning and cried when he came to the hospital and was told that he might not be able to hold Zach since he had a 103 degree fever the night before. He has been found attempting to change Zach's diaper, alone, on a number of occasions and while I wanted to cry at his tenderness I was also glad that Zach didn't do what he sometimes does best - sprays all over you!
