John Michael is getting lots of practice being a helpful, loving big brother to 4 1/2 week old, Luke. And since John Michael is a Binky junkie, he thought Luke should have one, too.
A gift for Luke... I love this shirt! So cute!
I wasn't sure how John Michael would react to Luke lying in his lap, but he was good... until Luke started fussing.
Cute, eh? Well, this isn't the whole picture... if you know what I mean. It's just a quick snapshot in time. Less than a minute later, Luke started crying and John Michael wanted nothing to do with him :-0 However, I'm hoping that this coziness becomes a familiar scene as these two grow up together.
And, another glimpse into the future... John Michael is very generous with kisses. It totally melts my heart!
As if you couldn't tell already... I am super in love with all my children, even if Luke and John Michael are getting more attention these days. But one thing remains, no one can take the place of John Michael in my heart. There's just something incredibly special about him and I'm so proud of my big boy! So proud of all his accomplishments and milestones. Having Luke after John Michael puts it all in perspective again, and I realize how much harder John Michael has had to work to get where he is today. LOVE that boy!

I know what you mean Monica about loving all the kids but having just something special for our boys. It's so hard to explain but I feel exactly the same way!

ReplyDeletesorry i haven't popped in much to say hello. been busy and computer-less until now. i'm loving all the pics via facebook. i was just wondering the other day how john michael is doing with being a big brother.
ReplyDeletehenry hates when kids scream/cry/make loud noises. he is quite sympathetic. i'm hoping with the new baby he will eventually get used to crying!
Love the pictures! John Michael is such a wonderful Big Brother! And so typical, too, who wants to play with a crying baby? Luke sure has grown too, since I last saw him.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the boys together. They are both beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove the photos!! My fav is the one of both of them laying on the pillow next to each other. I had to laugh when you said that JM didn't want to be close like that as soon as Luke started crying! Matthew's the same way with Elizabeth. And I know what you mean about realizing how much harder JM has to work to do things Luke will easily do. I feel that way about Matthew after having Elizabeth. It makes me appreciate and love Matthew even more yet at the same time I don't love Elizabeth any less. They're both special to me in their own unique ways, just like your kids are special to you. Have a great day Monica!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome big brother he is!
ReplyDeleteOh... this post is just precious! John Michael seems so good natured and loving. Sweet boys...
