Graham meets Carter (G: 2 years, 7 months, 12 days old / C: 1 day old)

On August 4th, 2012, Graham came to the hospital to meet his baby brother.  Before and since the meeting, Graham has mentioned how he had to wait so, so, so, long and then finally Baby Brother came out to meet him, so it was a very exciting day for Graham to have the meeting and know the wait was over. 
Graham checked in with Daddy and Grammy in the lobby:


My mom took a video of Graham entering the room and seeing Carter for the first time:

We followed all the suggestions and had Carter in his bassinet with a present for Graham (instead of me holding Carter).  Once Graham checked out his brother and the present, I had Graham climb onto the bed with me and Nick handed me Carter, so Graham could get a closer look:





After that, we took our first pictures as a family of four:



Then Daddy had some special time with his two boys:




Graham lost interest pretty quickly and went back to playing with his present from Baby Brother (Dash pulling the Jobi Logs).  When he started getting interest in the medical devices in the room, we knew it was time to say goodbye, and Graham headed home for some more one-on-one playtime with Grammy and gave Carter and me a final day at the hospital to rest and recover before heading home ourselves.
It was a sweet moment to witness these two little boys (someday best friends) meeting for the first time.
