Ellie the Big Sister

It is wonderful to see how Ellie is enjoying her new brother and bonding with him more as the weeks go by. Now she is so excited to see him in the morning. She likes to cuddle up to his head and say "it's okay Ian, Sissy's here. Mommy and Sissy will take good care of you." Then she hugs his head (which makes me cringe because of his soft spot). It is amazing to see her taking her role seriously and loving on her little brother! Today she even got him to stop crying by giving him a binky for me! We had some friends over and their daughter 5 months old was crying. She was able to get her to stop crying as well and I was just so proud of her.

Ian at three weeks old holding his head up!

He held his head up to look into the mirror on this blanket for nearly a full minute! We were so proud of course by the time I got the camera he was done!
