Brother and Sister

I am constantly amazed by how Garin acts towards his sister, and her response to him. He is incredibly gentle with her. I've tried to instill in him from day one, the importance of being a big brother, and that he needs to cherish his sister and take care of her. I know I'm instilling in him the lessons of how he is to treat women.
It fills me with love and humility when I see how he treats her. When she cries, he gets upset, and says "cry?!" in a really sad voice and points at Brianna. Sometimes he goes and tries to pick her up! When she's doing tummy time, he lays down beside her and talks to her. She thinks Garin is the funniest person alive. She breaks out in a big grin whenever she sees him and laughs at whatever he does. When I'm holding them both, she loves to reach out and grab him, which he thinks is funny, and they both end up breaking out in giggles. He has such a big heart, and she ADORES her big brother.

So today I just wanted to share some pictures of my babies together.
