He really does love to hold her. He plops himself right down on the floor and holds out his arms with an "uhn!". He is such a great big brother. He holds her and strokes her hair and gets worried when she cries, and pats her back. I hope they are best friends!
This time with them is just magical lately. He's crazy and she wants to be held---but I would not change a single moment right now. I told Sterling my heart cannot handle life right now---every single moment I am thinking "How in the world is this going so fast? How are they so absolutely perfect? Why can't we freeze life right now?" I want them to grow up and be amazing, I do. But how do you get your heart to stop aching for the wanting to hold a baby forever when you only get a tiny window? Do you think we can have a baby in our arms forever in heaven? I feel like I am on the flip side of parenting. Instead of it feeling new and having worries and concerns, I feel relaxed and like I am thoroughly enjoying it. But even whilst enjoying, I feel an ache that it's just slipping by too fast and why can't I gather my kids up and just hold them forever?
