Molly was born in November 2014 and Wyatt came home from his mission in Germany at the very end of February 2015. So Molly was basically 4 months old when they got to meet for the first time. I was weirdly excited for them to meet even though I know it made zero to difference to Molly that she hadn't met him yet because she won't remember anything before the age of like 2. But I cared. And I was excited. His flight didn't get in from Germany until like 8 or 9pm. Molly would have normally been asleep, but I made us wake her up when we got to the airport. She had to be awake for this!
I think I was so excited for him to meet her because my life changed so drastically in the two years he was gone. When Wyatt left Jarom and I were dating (almost engaged but not quite). In the two year span I got engaged, married, pregnant, and had a baby. That's a lot for two years!
After not holding any babies for 2 years he was a little awkward and uncomfortable holding her, but I forced him to. And now I have these awesomely awkward pictures of Molly meeting her Uncle Wyatt for the first time!
