A "Bwadas" Love

Caleb had fun holding the baby while I took some pictures of them in the backyard!

I am not sure Timothy had as much fun!

Caleb is one hundred percent sold on his brother. I believe he loves his brother more than he love his Mommy and Daddy which is a big deal! When Caleb wakes up in the morning he has to go look in his brothers room to see if he is okay. When the baby cries Caleb runs all around the house screaming for me to help him. If another kid tries to touch his brother he sits between the kid and his brother and blocks the way while swatting away onlookers hands. He wants to hold him about every 30 minutes which has proven to be a great problem for me as far as time is concerned. Caleb laughs at the baby when his head bobs up and down, he cuddles close to him when he is laying on a blanket, he brings him toys and reads him books. It has been fabulous! I was actually gearing up for Caleb to be jealous and violent, but I have been so happy to see him loving on his "bwada". I can't wait to watch them grow and their relationship develop. I imagine jealousy and fighting are coming soon, but for now I am enjoying watching the love develop.
