Brotherly Love

I get asked all the time, "How is Reed adjusting to being a big brother?" I can honestly say I think he is the BEST big brother ever! He has not been jealous for one second. If anything he wants to be right beside Graham the whole time he is awake. He has never asked for me to put Graham down and hold him, he is happy just to cuddle beside us.He always wants to help put the paci back in or cover him up with a blanket. He even frequently shares his "Bye-Bye" with Graham (his comfort blanket that he goes to sleep with and NEVER shares).
We are constantly telling Reed that he is a great big brother and Graham loves him so much. We tell him how much Graham looks up to him and wants to be just like him. I think little things like this have really help Reed realize how special he is and what role he has in our family.
He loves him to death and we talk a lot about what games they will play when Graham gets bigger. We also talk to Reed about what he was like when he was a baby. He understands that he was little once and did the same things that Graham does. We think this has also helped Reed understand that we did all the same things for him and that Graham will soon grow up and be big like him.

Reed has made being parents to two very easy and Graham has been such a great baby! Josh and I love these little boys more than we ever imagined possible! They are so precious and it is so special to see the bond between them that is already forming! Our little gifts from God!
