Big Brother


Now there are four!

Bracken has been the sweetest big brother. He's already so protective and proud of Chandra. He hasn't acted jealous at all, and just wants to help take care of and love her. It makes me happy!

When anyone comes over he says, "Come see my baby sister Chandra Lia Johnson!" and takes them back to her crib to show her off and tell them about her "tiny, tiny feet" or demonstrate the sounds she makes.

Whenever he hears her cry he holds her hand and says, "Don't cry, baby Chandra. Bracken will take care of you." Then he looks at me and says, "Mom, I'm a good big brother."

He loves to hold her. And hug her, kiss her, hold her hand, pat her head, touch her cheeks...I have to keep an eye on them when Chandra's laying in Bracken's reach just to make sure he deosn't love her too much. I'm so glad he adores his little sister!

Chandra Lia, 3 days old.

What a fabulous big brother Bracken is! That's incredible...I hope he can teach Jairus how to be so loving towards his little sister! Beautiful pictures, I honestly can not believe how much hair she has! I don't think I've ever seen a newborn with so much gorgeous hair! Congrats again.
