A & Z meet baby Ari

I took the kids to Charlotte so they could meet their first-ever cousin, Ari. She was born on New Year's Eve and the hospital had a policy that didn't allow the kids to see her before we had to head home. They were really excited to see her, however, Zachary was a little concerned that "the baby would want to chew on Panda...!" When we reassured him that Panda was safe, he made sure the baby got an extra-special Panda kiss right away.
Allie wanted to share some of her old baby toys with Ari.

Zachary helped feed her a bottle.
He was really proud!!
Ari enjoyed some awake time with her loud, fast-moving cousins.


And Uncle Dan got to imagine what life would be like with three kids, each 2 years apart. I think he used the word, "chaotic..." at some point.
