17 amazing images of siblings meeting for the first time

After the birth of a first child, one of the most magical moments in parenting is when that little one meets their sibling. These first meets can be rife with emotions, but we think it's a moment worth capturing regardless of the reaction.

Here are some of the sweetest (and most hilarious) moments we've seen:

1. "So beautiful!"

2. Just as much joy, even over FaceTime

3. Speechless

4. "Our homecoming didn't go as expected, but their feelings were so real and so valid"

5. "Hi little baby!"

6. "The happiness on Luca's face as he met his baby sister for the very first time is something I will treasure forever."

7. "Big sister is in love with her new brother but not so much with his crying."

8. "Hey guys, look what I got!"

9. "Bonding moments."

10. "When your mum makes you your own real life dolly."

11. "Hey Google..."

12. Yikes!

13. "Best moment ever."

14. "Quite possibly the sweetest moment of my life"

15. Waited five years for this

16. "I love her"

17. We'll just call this one the "adjustment period."
