big brother to the rescue

one of the first questions we get asked when our friends meet emma for the first time is how lucas is doing with the new baby. our answer? he's doing great! lucas is constantly asking, "i na-na hold her," which translates into, "i want to hold her." another favorite and constant request of his is, "i na-na kiss her." (so adorable!) so, as parents, we are thrilled and incredibly blessed to have lucas love his little sister so much.

(here's a quick story...)

the other day, as allan and i were finishing up our dinner, emma was laying on the floor doing some tummy-time. lucas was laying on the floor next to emma, just observing her and giving her kisses. we were keeping a close watch on lucas to make sure he wouldn't crush emma when we heard emma make some kind of a burp-sounding noise. allan and i looked over at emma to see if she was okay. before we had a chance to check her out, lucas had jumped up, ran into emma's room, and came out with a kleenex in his hand. the next thing we knew, lucas was wiping up emma's spit-up. what a great big brother, huh? we were so proud of our little boy for taking such great care of his baby sister. :)
