Loving Big Brother

People are finding it hard to believe that Ben has been doing so well with Abbey, so I thought I would provide some photographic evidence of how much he loves her... I promise none of these photos were staged.

Here Ben is trying to give Abbey a teddy bear (that he bought her) to comfort her when she was crying.

The other night Ben was watching Abbey play in her activity gym and try to reach for the toys. We explained to Ben that she didn't know how to grab onto toys yet. When Ben heard this, he immediately got down next to her and said "Look Abigail, this is how you do it" and grabbed onto one of the rings. A few minutes later she did grab one and we had Ben to thank for teaching her how! We can't wait to see all the things he will teach her!

Here Ben is patting her back trying to help Daddy comfort her. When she cries he says "It's OK Abbey, it's OK!"

And of course lots of hugs.

By the way, it seems as though I am the only one who thinks Ben, Abbey and I all look alike as babies considering everyone guessed correctly as to which baby was which below...oh well!
