We're home, and loving life. Amos had a great first night at home, and only woke up twice during the night. Eli woke up a little upset this morning, but the present that Amos brought him (a wagon filled with big Legos) is smoothing things over. And having YaYa to play with constantly helps a lot.
Just before leaving the hospital.

Another brotherly introduction.
The best family shot we could get. We took about a dozen, trying to get everyone to look at the camera. Amos gets a pass, since he was about 23 hours old at the time, and can't be expected to follow directions.
This moment lasted about 6 seconds. Then Eli was off to play again.
All buckled up and ready to go.
When we got home, Amos was sleepy, so he spent a little while in his crib (which he won't sleep in at night for a while). He likes it in there.
Amos LOVES the sling. This is something Eli didn't care for much early on, so the fact that Amos is so happy in there is great news.
Late in her pregnancy, it was tough for Jessa to read books to Eli at night, because there just wasn't any lap for him to sit in. So last night, Amos, MaMa, and Eli read some books. Everybody involved loved it.
Burrito baby in his crib.
Eli had a great time out on the porch this morning. He likes to pretend the airplane flies. It's just a matter of time until he throws it over the edge. But he hasn't made that connection yet.
I tried to teach Eli how to take a picture. This was the resulting shot.
One little game we play with Eli is getting him to do as many different "bumps" as we can. It started with a fist bump (inspired by the Obamas, of course), but he now does finger bumps, elbow bumps, and nose bumps. This was just after a nose bump.
Sweet child.
Eli and YaYa have been building towers and robots with his new Legos.
Out cold.

Love you guys and love seeing updates of your new family life!
Beautiful family! I can't believe how much Amos looks like you, Jessa- especially in those last couple of pictures.
Thank you, Eric. I just read all entries since Friday for the first time, and am wiping my eyes (at work, oops) ;-) This is such a good read, and with awesome pics! Your little family is so sweet and calm and well-organized :) Glad old Eli is being a good boy, as usual. I agree - Amos looks like Jessa. He's cute enough for his perfect name. Best to you all,
-Eve
