Jackson loves his brother.


Hugs.


Telling Bennett a story.

The other day Jackson got stickers and covered both him and Bennett with them...always sharing.  :)

He is Bennett's personal stylist...or groomer.

Jackson loves this playmat and could...um, let me say that again, does play on it for hours.  He loves when we put a blanket over the top and it is his very own cave.

Jackson really wanted Bennett in his blanket tunnel.  They sat in here for quite a while.

I was nervous how Jackson might react to having Bennett around ALL the time.  I wondered what he would think about the baby and how he would treat him.  However, Jackson has been nothing but loving towards our little guy.  He is constantly wanting to hold him and will ask me all the time, "How is our baby doing?"  Sometimes when I Bennett gets up from a nap, Jackson will say, "How did our little sweetie sleep?"  "You're such a good baby Bennett."  Lots of kisses and hugs follow and he always wants to hold him.  

It has been so fun to watch Jackson with Bennett.  I can tell that Jackson can't wait for him to get a little bigger, because he is always asking me if Bennett is bigger yet or if he can play pirates with him or make a fort with him.  I am sure having a brother will have its non-fun moments too while they grow, but I think overall Jackson is going to be a great big brother.  :)

That is so great that he does so well with Bennett. I hope that when we eventually have another that Peyton will do the same thing. Oh and I loved that pic of him soaking his hand. It must have made it feel better to keep in there all dinner. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

That's awesome Jackson is doing so well with Bennett! What a cute big brother! Christian loves Ethan, but he is still having a hard time with hitting and occasionally biting. Yikes. Hopefully he will grow out of this! Ethan is a tough guy.
