Siblings

Sylvia has liked Erickson since she first met him in the hospital. It was nice that she was not jealous of him or overly fond of him. She did give him a pillow once while he was in his bassinet. Another day, I heard her announce from his room, "I put a nickel in Eric's mouth."

Erickson loves his big sister and Sylvia is quite fond of her little brother. Sylvie loves going into Eric's room to get him when he wakes up from naps, and she can always make him laugh. Now that Eric is a little older and getting around by himself, Sylvia is really starting to like playing with him. She likes to tell me when he's getting too close to the power cords or putting something in his mouth that he shouldn't be. Recently we've been working on giving him a new toy if we take something away that he's not supposed to have. She also needs reminders not to physically move him. "That's mommy's job" is heard a few times a day at our house. Eric doesn't like it when Sylvia grabs things from him and Sylvia doesn't like it when he pulls her hair or bites her.

Here's a couple of my favorite sibling pictures we took recently.


Isn't this such a big sister look?
