Brothers :)

Before Kevin came into our family my biggest concern was how Cason would handle the change.  Now that Kevin is here I have to say that he has done so much better than I ever could have expected and I am so proud of him.  In the hospital he didn't show much interest, but wasn't upset either.  Once we brought Kevin home he was interested, but still didn't really want to be involved.  A little over a week later he finally asked to hold him!!  He has not shown any signs of resentment yet and has not been upset or mean to Kevin at all.  Instead he has turned into mommy's big helper.  He gets diapers for Kevin and hands me the binky when needed.  Any time that Kevin cries he tells me right away and acts concerned.  He wants to know where Kevin is at all times and loves to talk about him as part of our family.  He is an excellent big brother! 

I have noticed that Cason has been a bit more clingy with me and has been a bit of a "copy cat" with some of the things that Kevin does.  Kevin was jaundice and had to be on a bilibed for just over a week after we brough him home.  In the bilibed he could only wear a diaper.  So, for a week or so Cason also insisted that he only wear a diaper... all day AND night.  In the beginning he also asked for his diaper to be changed every time I would change Kevin's diaper.  He likes to be held more now and asks to be held or to sit by me while I am feeding Kevin.  He also likes to sit in the carseat or baby swing.  We have a mini boppy pillow to use for tummy time while Kevin is still really tiny.  When I first started using it with him Cason adopted the big boppy pillow to be his own and did tummy time beside Kevin.  After a few days I pulled out the mini boppy for Kevin and Cason said "I don't want to do tummy time today."  Adorable! 

While I love the baby phase and do not want to wish any of that time away I am also very excited for when Kevin gets a bit older and the two can play together. I have a feeling they are going to be best buds!! I love my boys :).

Best Buds!

 Poor jaundice baby....

And the concerned older brother :) 

 

"Please cheese me."  Cason was a bit jealous of all the pictures I was taking of Kevin and asked if I would take a picture of him.  Normally he hates getting his picture taken, so this was a big moment.  And the picture turned out great!

 My toddler thinks he's a baby ;).

 

 Tummy time!

 Seriously?!  I love this sweet face :).
