Sibling Love

For a few mornings after we got home the kids would take turns holding and reading to Baby Cohen. Ryker would hold him, and Adelyn would read him books...



Her favorites to read him were Polar Bear and Brown Bear...


Then they would switch. Adeylyn would hold Cohen and Ryker would read to him...


Ryker searched for this book...Love You Forever. Such a sweet story. Ryker said, "I want to read him this book so he knows that we love him."

So sweet.


Then Adelyn would spend the rest of the morning changing all of her little dolls and stuffed animals diapers.


And it's been like that ever since. Both of the kids have adjusted to our new little life and family of 5 better than I could have ever dreamed of. Neither of them to this day (Cohen is just a few days shy of 6 weeks) have ever shown any aggression, jealousy, irritation, or really anything negative towards him. They have both been so sweet, loving, soft, and kind to him. They love to hold him and help me with him. They mimic how I soothe him, and everyday they each want to "spend time with baby Cohen". It really is such a blessing.

SO glad to hear all about baby Cohen. I LOVE his name and you guys are totally genius about his middle name. He has such a sophisticated name and he is so adorable. Glad to hear that everyone gets along.
