Boy meets girl

For my entire pregnancy with Savannah, I dreamed about the relationship that our children would have and the things they would love to do together. Well, let me just say that I could have never dreamed anything as sweet as how much Porter loves his Sissy! In his little eyes, she was created just for him. Smitten doesn't even cut it. This boy is utterly obsessed with his little sister. The look on his face the moment he laid eyes on her showed us he knew exactly who she was. He squealed and giggled and laughed and kissed her a bazillion times. My heart melted and I knew that exact moment that any crazy, hectic day we have will be worth every second just because of the love they have for each other. He ran in the hospital room and after the initial excitement set in, he plopped his cute little self down on the couch and told us "Sit sit that baby!" He held her like he had been waiting forever to meet her and I will never forget the way he just stared down at her face like he wanted to learn everything about her. 

I told Sean that after we got her home, the newness would probably fade and he would be on his merry way with his usual routine. Well, she is nine days old and every time he wakes up, she is the first person he asks for. Every few minutes, while playing, he stops to come find her and see if she is sleeping and who has her. He wants to help feed her, burp her, change her, and loves to try and share his snacks with her. I can only guess that she will have her first table food a little earlier than we might prefer ;) All choking hazards aside, I could not be more thankful for our two beautiful, healthy children and the relationship they are already developing. I am one blessed, thankful mama!
