The Great Big Sister

Sara is such a good sister to Brennan. She is always trying to make him feel better and "reporting" to us his status. Whether he "likes it", "don't likes it", or he is asleep or sad. She loves it when he smiles at her and she is always trying to get him to laugh.

Whenever she sees something she likes, she has to go show him. Tonight she was showing him her new ornaments from Granny KP and Grandpa. I let her hold him to take a photo in front of the tree and she was rocking him back and forth. He actually really liked it.

I realized that he's getting big enough to where I wasn't as nervous with her holding him and even man-handling him a little. I still wouldn't leave her alone with him but it's nice that he's getting big enough that someday we can just let them play. They are going to have so much fun someday.

We haven't really gotten Brennan anything for Christmas. Dan says the ski-trailer can kind of be his present because we had to get a double seater for him.   We are hoping for snow to be able to actually use it.

It's been really cold at night and I've been dressing Brennan in three layers of clothes. He seems to make it better through the night if he's super warm. I never had to worry about that with Sara too much because it was soon Spring after she was born. Brennan's room tends to be the coldest in the house too.

We're doing well though overall. He's still eating like a horse. He LOVES zucchini, pear, and rice blended together. I think he'll be 16lbs by Christmas easily.
