Sibling Love

When I was pregnant with Gavin, most of you know, we had not found whether we were having a boy or a girl. So it was somewhat difficult to imagine our family plus another little one when I didn't know who to picture! I looked forward to seeing Sydney in her new role of "big sister" but had worries about that of course too. Plus, there was the nervous feeling of whether or not I would be able to love this new little person as much as I loved Sydney (which in and of itself was an unimaginable amount). Everyone told me I would but you just can't help but wonder how it's possible to have such an immense amount of love for TWO little people. Anyhow, Gavin arrived and my worries immediately diminished. It was instant love, just like it had been with Sydney. Then came the fun part....balancing a toddler and a newborn. :) I won't lie or sugar coat....it was harder than I ever imagined; but like with everything else we moms do, we just go with it and do it (and look back and wonder HOW we did it!) We are at such an extremely fun stage right now with our kids--Gavin is interacting with Sydney and playing and being goofy and Sydney just loves her little brother to pieces (most moments of the day!) This was one of those moments and I am so glad to have captured it (sorry facebook friends-you get to see it again!). I was fixing supper and my two little loves were loving on each other...well, kind of. **Watch closely....Gavin is sure to let Sydney know his true feelings. :)**
