2 Months

Gwendolyn is 2 months old already!   She is such a joy to have in our family and we can hardly remember what life was like before she was here.

Neal has done so much better then I ever thought transitioning into the roll of a big brother.  He is so sweet to Gwendolyn and is always trying to help care for her and make sure she is happy.   He also wants to be right by her side as much as possible.

Over the last few months there have been dozens of things that he has done and said that just show how much he loves his sister, such as:

"Gwendolyn is my favorite person, I sure love baby Gwen" 

 Neal was singing this in his bedroom the night we got home from the hospital with Gwen.  

"I just love to hold sissy's hand" 

He holds her hand every time we are in the car.  

Gwendolyn started crying while we were watching TV and Neal sat in front of her and said: 

"I'm blocking sissy 'cause she is scarred of what is on the TV, I don't want her to be scared"  

"Do you have a smile for your brother, a smile just for me, just for me" 

Whenever she is awake he loves to get right next to her and talk with her and make her smile.  

The last few months have been filled with lots of change, but they have been the best few months. Change is good, especially when it comes by way of the wonderful blessing of children.
