Introducing baby Peter to my family

We took the opportunity to visit our families before we take off to another state. Things don't always go as planned. My mom ended up being sick and I didn't get to see my brothers but we still enjoyed visiting the rest of the families. Throughout these photos, you'll see that we took Joanna to the park. She was able to swing, slide down the slide and play with rocks while baby Peter just sleeps.  

Of course, we've introduced baby Peter to everyone. He's been held and pass on to the next person... a lot.  Everyone was excited to meet baby Peter! It was sweet to see my extended family enjoying the newborn baby.  I enjoyed watching them hold him.

Thanks to my ever so loving families for taking care of us while we were visiting.  

Joanna with baby Peter

So I decided to have Joanna hold her baby brother.  I was a little nervous in doing so because I wasn't sure how she'll handle him. So, I waited and check first to see what she'll do before taking pictures of them together.  She did exactly the same thing I captured her doing in these pictures.  She was just looking at him and touching him just out of curiosity.  How precious!!  I even got one photo of her looking directly at the camera. Of course, I was telling Joanna to look at the camera and to say "cheese." Well, as you can tell... her smile is sort of a "forced" smile.  Hey now, she's smiling and that makes a good photo, don't you think?  I do!!  

I was glad to be able to have my children take pictures together. I am making memories of them... something to cherish! It will just continues on.

 It's neat to see how gentle Joanna was towards baby Peter!  I was just amazed!
