It Must Be Love

We sure do have some cute kids that really love each other:

Makelle is constantly trying to hold baby Jefferson.  The first day we came home from the hospital I laid him down on a blanket and came back 5 minutes later to discover him missing.  Makelle had picked him up and carried him into her bedroom and was reading him a book.  Cute scene, but had to be followed up with a "don't steal my baby without asking first" lesson.  She is such a great big sister and not only helps with Jefferson, but is almost always willing to help Seth and play with him whenever I am busy with the baby.

Seth has been fairly indifferent towards having a new baby around.  Whenever he walks past Jefferson he politely pats his head and says, "baby" and then moves on.  So it was pretty cute to see him come in and lay down and cuddle up next to his little brother.

Seth still finds great comfort in sucking his thumb and sticking strings in his ear.  So we took it as the ultimate sign of love when we saw him look down at Jefferson and then take the string from his own ear and generously stick it in Jefferson's ear.  What a sweet and weird little gesture :)

I seem to take a lot of pictures of the kids when they are sleeping, but sometimes I just can't get over the awkward positions they sometimes end up in:

What 2-year-old would be tolerant enough to let his 6-year-old brother use him as a pillow?  These kids sure do get along better than I would have ever expected!
