We have so enjoyed watching Addison and Finn bond over the past 5 months. Addison loves to love on her brother and help take care of him. She loves bathing him, changing his diapers, giving him toys and holding him. This morning we had a first when she offered to nurse him, and she seemed quite sad when she learned that only Mommy can do that. She has come up with different pet names over the months; the first was "Yellow Bottom", and then "Baby Finn", and now currently she calls him "Chubby Cheekers". Here are some of our favorite pictures of them together from the last 5 months:
First Touch
Holding her 1-day old brother
Checking each other out
Laughing at his newborn hiccups
Helping him with his swing
Giving him a hand to chew on
Sharing our Daddy
And our Mommy
Reading Finn stories
Having a morning chat
He's getting bigger
I love this baby
Sharing our Grandma
Playtime together
Holding him is getting harder
Sharing Elmo chair
Sharing bathtime
Kisses
A lazy morning
Watching a whale movie together
Addison's naptime snuggles
Goofing around
Ooh kisses
"Bear hugs"
