A big thanks to Paul Gideon Shaw who graciously served as a guinea pig for Karissa to practice being a big sister on. Karissa's first cousin Paul was born last Wednesday. We were very blessed to be in Georgia for the wonderful event! We got to the hospital just a couple of hours after he was born. Of course, Karissa was wide eyed and very curious about everything that was going on. She loved meeting Paul. She would often sit on the bed with her Aunt Melissa (the mommy) and Paul to be as close as possible. For the most part she was very sweet to Paul stroking his hair or trying to hold his hand. The only hiccup is that every once in awhile she would wave something in his face. I think she had a hard time understanding why he was asleep so often. Of course, as time went on she did begin to struggle with sharing the attention. She did say once we returned home that she was glad to be back in St. Louis. She usually expresses sadness about leaving Georgia, perhaps this time she is excited to be the center of attention again! Uh-oh! Come the beginning of November or so that will change!
