Big Brother, Month One

Being a big brother is very exciting, and, as Nick has discovered, very challenging too. But we are doing good so far!

The first a few days was tough for Nick, as he had never been separated from mom and dad for so long. Nicholas came to visit mom at the hospital every day, and he really enjoyed seeing the little sister for the first time! One of Nick's favorites activities at the hospital -- making milk shake with the orange juice and milk from the refrigerator!

Back home, there is another challenge -- Rachel has super ears to hear every tiny little noise, and Nicholas is famous (or infamous) for making loud noises! A month later, Rachel, who is not a good sleeper, is getting much better at ignoring Nicholas, resigning to the fact that the big brother will be with her for a long long time. In fact, some times Rachel really seems enjoying Nicholas' singing, just for her.

Speaking for singing, Nicholas has been a great helper for mom and dad. Getting diapers and milk for the little sister, singing to her as she cries. So, what about changing diaper for meimei? "Yew... stinky!" Ok, so we are still working on that part :)
