We've Lost our Minds

A couple of days ago we went to the hospital to bring home a baby.  Not our baby. Really one of the sweetest babies I've ever been around though. He eats well. He sleeps well. And he's a great trial run for the kids. Once Cora arrives they will all be experts. Camille loves to feed him his bottle. Case has been super sweet and loves to pet his head.  He went for his first visitation with his real mother today.  She is the first bio-parent that I've had the pleasure of meeting.  That was interesting. Especially because she told me not to get too attached to him. I wanted to tell her "Don't worry, I won't treat him like one of my own."  She also informed me that he likes a pacifier.  Once again... interesting that she is so knowledgeable about a baby I've had longer than she has.  He is 6 days old today and such a doll.
This is Codes feeding the three big kids cereal, while holding the baby, with the dog on his shoulder. You know, typical Dad stuff.
