Abby welcoming Andrew into the house

It was really neat the way it worked out for Abby to see Andrew in the house for the first time. When Abby came home Andrew had already been home for a day. He was in the bedroom in his cradle. She came in and saw me and talked to me and then looked at the computer and realized the background was a picture of a baby and it wasn't her! She talked about the baby and I told her it was Andrew, then she went on and talked about other things. A few minutes later Andrew started crying. Abby said, "Oooh, Baby" and pointed at the screen. Then Andrew started crying again so she looked for him and we let her find him. After she found him she was very excited. I think she thinks he is her own personal baby doll. She loves to kiss him and "houg" him. She is always asking to "hold him" and if you leave him down, she likes to pick him up, even if he is not crying and she likes to try and bring him to you . . . that gets scarry when she pulls him down off the bed . . . or brings him folded in half down the hallway, but I have had several people tell me babies are a lot more resiliant than we think and they bounce really well . . . let's hope we don't have to find out!
