Soren - The Best Big Brother!

Yup, still playing catch up!!

Here are some pictures of Soren with Caroline. He loves to hold, snuggle, hug, kiss, cuddle, talk to, and just generally love on his sister. Whenever I can catch the opportunity I will snap a photo of the two of them.

This was just shy of Caroline turning one month old. Soren loves to kiss her and remind her how much he loves her. He is "brother" to her and as she is getting older and more expressive I can see the love in her eyes when he holds her. It is so precious!



This is the same day - the two of them laid down for a little snuggle.



A few days later we got a few more photos of the two of them together.





On Christmas morning Soren took his place on the stairs - a tradition while he waits for the ok to come in and see presents - but this time he got to have his new sister with him.



He sang Christmas carols (another tradition) not only to encourage the house to wake up, but to soothe his sister who was slightly crabby (her bottle was waiting downstairs).

And this past weekend we had a wonderful visit with my sister, Staci, and her husband, Alex. Alex is a fantastic photographer and these are some shots he took of the two of them together:







We are loving seeing our kids together. It's still so strange to say "kids" and "children" and basically anything that pluralizes our posterity. However, it's a good kind of strange. Love these two angels!
