I was a little nervous on how Jake and Julie would react to having another sibling added to the mix. I think I was projecting my fears of taking care of three kids under the age of four onto them because they have literally embraced the arrival of their new baby brother.
Ok, Julie has her moments of jealousy where she tries to climb onto my lap while I'm feeding Caleb or steals his binky, but then she'll turn right around and give him a kiss. Whenever she hears Caleb cry she says, "Uh-Oh, baby!" and runs over to his bassinet.
Jake just loves his new brother to pieces. I swear he has his own special smile that only comes out when he talks about his baby brother. If it involves Caleb, Jake will do anything to be a big helper. Caleb can do no wrong in Jakes eyes. Even if Caleb is screaming at the top of his lungs Jake just laughs and thinks he's being cute. Wouldn't it be nice if Jake felt this way about his little brother all the way through high school and I never had to deal with them fighting? Don't laugh too hard - I can dream, right?

I like your kind of dreaming. I hope it works out for you.
They'll be best of friends... with a few *moments* here and there! :)
yeah right... my mom saying 'someday youll pay' to Jeremy when he was a teen comes to mind :) ...but WHAT teenagers are easy to deal with?? right? They are just so cute right now..how can you ever be mad at that? haha I loved seeing Jake and Julie when they were here..I'm happy they are adjusting well to the new baby.
I am so glad that they have adapted better than you thought! I am sure they will be awesome helpers! And that is great, wishful thinking always gets us some where right?!
WOW! What a cutie pie he is!!! Full head of hair to boot. How fun to have his older siblings there to take care of him. He looks so good. Hope you are doing great as well Christine!
Your kids are so cute! Jake and Julie are totally miniatures of their mom! It's so fun to see that.
