Love

Lately I've discovered something about Colby. He is such a great big brother. I never expected this. I thought typical 3 yr old- he only cares about himself and will get jealous and angry at the baby. I was so wrong. My love for Colbs has only grown after seeing the gentle way he treats Parker. He is absolutely smitten by Parker (ok who isn't!) The first thing he asks for when waking up is Parker. He loves to lay next to him on the floor, tickling him and kissing him. Whenever I try to play with Parker, oh no. Its COLBY's Parker. When I was trying to take Mother's Day pics for the grandmas, I snapped this little gem. It makes my heart skip a beat to see it. Instead of looking at the camera like I wanted him to, he's gentling hugging Parker instead. I love his sweet expression, Parker's happiness to be with his big brother, and those grubby chubby 3 yr old fingers holding tight. I was afraid to have 2 kids, very sure that I couldn't love my second as much as I did Colbs. I was so wrong. My love for Colby has only grown, and I am so happy that I have my little miracle Parker to love too. I'm such a lucky mom!
