Everyone always asks me how Ethan is with Lilah and if he likes being a big brother. Well... he LOVES it! I was a little bit worried that there might be some jealousy or looking for ways to get attention, but mostly he is super patient, attentive, and just so sweet! When he gets in the car after school, he always says, "Hi, baby Lilah, hi!" first thing in a cute little voice and tries to get her to hold onto his finger. When his friends come over or we meet someone he always lets them know that she's his baby sister and then he asks if they want to pet her. Aaaah! Usually we can distract him in time, but I think it's so sweet that he's so proud of her! Lately he loves to "make her burp" and he thinks it's awesome that he can pat her back and she will burp. He is also the binkie monitor in the car, which is a huge help on longer trips. He loves to give her kisses and hugs all the time and every night, he asks if she can lie on his arm in his bed while we read books and sing songs. Most of the time, she lies by him perfectly still and content. It melts my heart!!! All in all, he is a loving, affectionate, sweet older brother and I'm so thankful that Lilah has him!
Lilah is very tolerant of Ethan's kisses and attention and I think she already loves him!
We LOVE these sweet pictures! Ethan has such sweet loving expressions and Lilah looks so happy, content, and loved. Thanks so much for sharing these precious moments with us.
