So when we found out we were having
another baby (Nixon you nut job! Geeze! He's not even 3 months old yet!) we wondered how Olivia would
react to him but ya know what? I couldn't have asked for a
better relationship between them! I know I know they're both still babies so who knows what the
future will bring but let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing
sweeter than seeing the two of them
together!
Olivia is I think the
best big sister I have ever seen! She really just loves him! When she wakes up she asks for
him, when he cries, she's the first to run to his
aid. She's always willing to get him
diapers or throw away the dirty ones, or give him his
soother and push him in his swing. Or
steal his blanket or accidentally hit him, or read him a
story or sing him a
song! She is just an all around
loving big sister! The other day, I had Nixon doing
tummy time and he started to cry and Livi went over to him, sat next to him
patted his back and started sushing him! It was sooo sweet! I video taped it so later on in life I can look back & have
proof that at one time my kids
did like each other!
It makes me so happy that they are so close... it's the reason that we chose to have them so close in age, because it was 5 years between me & my closest brother. But I tell you, every day it's so sweet to see them interact more & more... Nixon smiled at Liv for the first time last week and then cooed at her! She responded with an "awwwwww! he likes you!!!!" (she doesn't quite get the you/me thing when talking about yourself yet). I love seeing their brotherly... er... sisterly... well... their love!
