Big Brother

When visitors come or people check in, one of the first questions we get is "How is Ronan doing with Aislinn?"  That was our biggest question too and honestly, he is doing so well! He is so incredibly gentle with her and loves giving her random kisses through the day.  Aislinn is now on the list of "must-kiss" during bedtime snuggles and he is the first to try and check on her when she is crying (I say try because we keep her pretty protected. As well as he's doing, I still don't trust a 19 month old around a newborn!). We LOVE watching them together and I can't wait until she starts interacting with him.  


We have let Ronan hold Aislinn a couple of times and he just lights up. The first time was the best. He was all smiles and started clicking to her - you know, clicking with your mouth? That's what he does when music comes on, so maybe he had a song in his head or was trying to calm her?? Whatever it was, it was sweet :)

The first photo is blurry because I had the wrong lens on. Darn it! I still love it though.

We tried another holding session a couple of days later. She's much happier this time because she wasn't hungry!

hugs

and kisses

I've been wanting a photo of them in their Big Brother/Little Sister shirts, especially before Aislinn outgrows hers! We finally got around to it and of course you can't really tell that's what they were wearing. I may try again someday.

Don't worry, grandparents. Aislinn was safe and sound in daddy's arms. This was the full picture, which I think is also cute :)

Maybe his sweetness toward her has something to do with those matchbox cars she brought home from the hospital ;)
