Sisterly Love

Bradley is definitely loved by his sisters.  Don't get me wrong, William loves him too but since he is at school the girls get a lot more time with the baby.  Britton is constantly asking to hold the baby.  Luckily I can usually understand what she is saying, and she get a huge grin on her face when I ask her if that is what she wants.  And she obediently sits down and pats her legs to show that she is ready.  Caitlyn loves to talk to Bradley and he gives her the biggest smiles and giggles.  So we of course managed to get some lovely pictures that I thought I would share with you.

 I needed to do some vacuuming so I asked Caitlyn if she would keep an eye on Bradley.  She told me that he could play on her bed with her.  She covered herself and Bradley, I had to remind her that he shouldn't have his head covered, and then giggled as she asked me to find them.

Then she pretended to sleep.  It is just chance that his eyes are closed in this picture, but I love that it looks like he is asleep while snuggling her blanket.  He was enthralled with the pink blanket, but he is pretty much enthralled with anything that ends up in his hands lately.

 Britton is so excited to hold him, and he is almost the same size.  She was also very excited when I pulled out the camera and kept asking for more pictures.

 Of course you can't really see her in the picture where he is giving a great smile, see the two dimples?  I'm not sure if she is leaning because his weight is pushing her over or she thought it was cute.

One last picture.  He looks as if he is just done, doesn't he?  I think at this point he knows what is coming.  When Britton holds Bradley she does really well, until she decides she is done and then she just lets go and pushes him away.  But he is definitely loved.  I don't have as many pictures of William with Bradley, he is gone most of the day (the part where there is another parent so I feel free to pull out a camera and catch cuteness instead of pull out my hair at the craziness), but Bradley likes to be on the floor with William while we stretch his arm.  Bradley likes to grab at William's hand and it is a  nice distraction for William.  A quick note about William's arm, at the doctor's today he had 118 degrees of motion, bending and straightening, which is about double the mobility that he had two weeks ago.  So if he works really hard, and puts up with us working his arm, his next doctor's appointment could be his last. It has been a lot of pain, tears, and screaming but it is coming along.
