Siblings

One of the things I was most excited about when Max was born was watching the relationship between the two kids develop.  I have such happy memories from growing up with my siblings and I wanted to give my own kids that experience.  Molly has always been kind to her brother, but there was a bit of an indifference there for quite a while.  She's not one who is really into babies and so when he was an infant, she really didn't have much use for him.  However now that he is a little older and can interact with her she is really having fun with him and it makes me so happy.  She loves to make him laugh by playing peek a boo or dancing crazy.  She likes to try and teach him new things and she likes to chase him as he crawls through the house.  He loves to watch her and copy what she is doing all the time.  Here are some pictures from a few of their recent adventures.

 

 A ball had rolled under this cabinet and Molly was determined to get it out with no help from Mom using a flashlight and the stethoscope from her Dr. kit.  Max was her helpful assistant.

 

Here they had built a fort and Molly was trying to teach Max how to play a game on the iPad. 

 

I am so excited that they are starting to have fun together and can't wait to watch their relationship grow.  Especially as we get ready to welcome sibling #3 in a few months!
