Brothers

From the moment Landon saw Blake he was as infatuated with him as we were. It makes my heart so happy that Landon loves Blake so much and is so concerned for him.  He will come and tell me when he is crying, try to cover him with a blanket when he thinks he's cold and hand me his pacifier to give to him if he's upset.  So far there haven't been any jealousy issues and Landon isn't bothered if we have to attend to Blake.  Landon wants to hold Blake daily and constantly says, "he's so cute!"  He also rubs Blake's head about 100 times a day because it is "so soft".  

Both Jared and I have prayed hard since finding out we were having another boy that they would grow up as friends.  We aren't naive enough to think they will never fight and that they won't have their share of issues, but I pray that deep down they will have a strong brotherly love and bond.  That they will be supportive and encouraging of one another.  

All that to say, here are a few brother pics we have gotten over the past 6 weeks: 

One of the first posed brother shots we got, Blake was only about 4 days old
6 weeks later, here are the two monkeys again
 Landon has been very gentle with Blake when giving him kisses and holding him




A lot of holding sessions happen first thing in the morning during our cartoon cuddling


Landon needed Blake to get a little closer, and decided his knee was the best option!
Apparently Blake loves his brother too and is trying to give him a little smooch :)
Blake never seems to mind when Landon holds him and has even fallen asleep



Cheesy grin
One of their first "play" sessions, not super interactive yet!
 It is so fun to have two boys and to think of all the messes they will make and "trouble" they will get into together :)

That is so sweet. I am just amazed how well the older boys are doing with the adjustments. It is definitely a blessing from God! So excited to see how the boys will grow and hopefully be best buds with each other!
