To say that Colby is obsessed with his baby sister is an understatement. I really wasn't sure how he would react to a sibling, and don't get me wrong, we have had some ROUGH moments, but I think we're finally all starting to get used to each other. Colby is IN LOVE with Camryn. I think it helps that Mimsy and Travis have both been so amazing and have taken him to do all kinds of fun one-on-one things. He hasn't just been sitting around here watching me feed Camryn. He has been golfing, playing football, swimming, going to birthday parties, playing in the sprinkler, etc. I think that he feels just as loved and special as he did before Camryn, and I'm so thankful for the extra help since I really can't do all of these things with him myself. Travis will be on lock-down pretty soon with studying and away rotations, so I'm glad he still has a few more days left to spoil our little boy and keep him busy while mom is trying to get used to feeding and taking care of a newborn with less sleep than before.
Colby comes into our bedroom every morning around 6:30 when I am feeding Camryn, and wants to crawl in bed and snuggle up next to us while we watch cartoons. Whenever I finish feeding her, he ALWAYS wants to hold her. He loves to put his head next to her to hug on her, rub her head, kiss her face and just watch her. Yesterday morning, he held her on my bed for over an hour. They were both perfectly content until Cami started getting fussy and Colby had a meltdown. He does NOT like for her to cry!!
One morning last week, he lifted up his shirt and wanted Camryn to drink milk from his tummy. :)
We had to have a conversation about how babies can only drink milk from their mommies and how we would have to wait for Camryn to get a little bit bigger and then he can feed her a bottle. (he's DYING to feed her)
Some of my dad's co-workers got Colby this precious book, The Super, Incredible Big Brother. It is SO SWEET and has Colby and Camryn's name in it several times. It also came with a Super, incredible Big Brother medal for Colby to wear around his neck. :)
Nona asked Colby if she could take baby Camryn home with her.
He replied "no! She has to stay here so I can protect her." :)
I don't think he even knows what that means, but it totally melted this momma's heart (I figured he'd be ready to give her away at this point!)
Colby- you make my heart smile. I pray that you love your baby sister like this and want to protect her forever!!!
