Big Brother
Logan has had so many tender moments with baby that I thought it only appropriate to give him his own post... all about what he has done as a big brother!
In the hospital he was holding baby and we were all sitting around talking and then we heard Logan singing Jesus Loves Me to baby... a thought he had all on his own. When this began I had to get my camera and see what else we would get from him.
Singing All Night
Next came Wonderful
This was funny because he just kept repeating it over and over.
I stopped taping but he went on and on! :-)
There are two more videos, but I am having trouble getting them to upload. I will try again later and add them to another post. One of them is Logan just talking about the baby and it's quite cute if you ask me. I'm truly blessed to have such a tender little toddler that wants nothing more than to love on his little brother. He is very proud of his new role and I hope that continues!!!
Here are some pictures of Logan being a big brother.
So precious!!
His arrival at the hospital... so excited!
He came running to me but once he realized Ryan was being held on the couch, he quickly darted that way to check him out!
Showing off his "big brother" shirt
(one of many)
My brother brought him Madagascar 2 as a "Big Brother" present and here he is after he received it... totally ready to go home and watch it, though it was 10pm and that would have to wait until the morning!
Checking it out...
Day Two
By this point he was needing to be entertained a little bit during his hospital visits. Thanks so much to Grandpa, Papa and Uncle Mike for keeping him entertained.
Playing Cars with Grandpa
This is the day he was very interested in holding Ryan and the time when all the videos were taken. He would play, play, play and then come take a break to check him out some more and give him lots of hugs and kisses. Very tender!!
Day Three
No hospital visit this day, so he was anxiously awaiting our arrival home. He was napping when we arrived, so here he is coming down the stairs after his nap, realizing we are all home together.
I think he was happy!!
Another "Brother" shirt,
describing the role he thinks he plays!
We put a stool next to the playpen/changing station so he can see in and "help" mommy change diapers. He really is quite cute asking if I need certain things and always being willing to throw the dirty diapers away!
He LOVES to feed him and really does a pretty good job. Usually when we stop for the first burp though, he is done helping and mommy takes over from there.
Singing while feeding
And another Big Brother shirt
He likes this one because it has a guitar on it!!
So many people have sent/brought presents for Logan that we have tried to space them out through the week so he doesn't get them all at once. He is definitely feeling very special after all the love that has been thrown his way.
He is VERY into the movie Cars right now and has a wish list of the cars he still needs to complete his set. My mom and dad got him a case to store them all in as well as the Dinoco helicopter... he was THRILLED that night!
Praise Baby
Logan used to LOVE the Praise Baby movies and yesterday he thought it was time to bring them back out and watch one with baby Ryan- totally his idea!!
Here they are on the recliner "watching" together.
Logan sang almost every song to him in a whisper!
Bath time
I know I already posted about the first bath,
but these are all of Logan being the "helper" that he is!
Telling baby "Shhh, it's ok" when he was screaming his lungs off!
Wanting to do some of the scrubbing himself...
and some rinsing...
and helping put the towel on.
We just love how much Logan wants to be involved in everything. I'm sure at some point it will slow down, but we are trying our best to encourage him and allow him to help whenever he feels like it. He really is a busy kid and we are amazed at how he can go from playing so rough to immediately switching the switch and being so tender when something involves baby. I like seeing both sides of our boy!
