I was concerned how Mikey would adjust to having a new baby brother after I repeatedly found his doll tossed in the garbage. To my surprise, he's adjusting very well. Of course Mikey has his moments. He sometimes tries pushing Daniel off of my lap while I'm nursing him, insisting that it's his turn. On occassion he'll act like he's giving Daniel a kiss on the head, but instead bite him. He has his moments when he's whiny and clingy. But for the most part Mikey loves being a big brother and takes his role seriously. A couple weeks ago Daniel had to have some blood tests done. When Daniel got pricked and started crying, Mikey kept saying to the nurse, "uh oh, uh oh, no, no" and then started crying too. This last Sunday a little boy got "too close" to Daniel during nursery, so Mikey told the boy to go. When he didn't, Mikey pushed the boy away. Here's a few pictures of some of the kind things Mikey does for his brother.
Mikey holds Daniel several times a day.( It's hard to believe they are brothers...I think they look very different.)
He loves giving him lots of hugs and kisses (don't worry he's not biting Daniel in this pic)
Mikey will stop whatever he's doing to help change Daniel's diaper. When Mikey wakes up in the mornings he grabs a diaper, points to Daniel and says "poop", and then rushes to the bathroom.
When Daniel starts to cry, Mikey gives him a pacifier.
The other day I noticed that Mikey's favorite blankie and ball were over Daniel. Mikey is always putting toys next to Daniel...I guess he thinks his brother gets bored.
And just a few pics of my cute hubby with Daniel. Aaron has the magic touch. He could sleep this way for hours.
