In the video, he explained the moment was a “surprise” for the kids. As seen in the moment, the children happily took turns hugging and kissing Erin and Chad.
The big moment then came when Henry was wheeled out so that his brothers and sisters could meet him. Loving him at first sight, they even asked if they could “pet” him, soon taking turns to see who could make him smile.
