pure joy: still smitten

greyson is still smitten over his little sister.  i just love how much he adores her.  i'm so thankful that God has blessed me with these two.  greyson loves to feed her, make her laugh by tickling her and rocking her really fast on the rocking chair.  he insists people call her kenna or sister.  not sissy (okay, maybe this is more me), not "little jessica" (my sister thinks she looks just like me when i was a baby so she will often call her little jessica.  greyson always responds with an angry, "NO! Kenna!") but kenna. 


he doesn't like it when she cries and will say, "it will be okay kenna!" sometimes he will rub her belly or sing to her.  anytime she cries he thinks she needs her gas medicine and will run and get it.  little does he know, there's nothing left in the bottle but i just let him think he's helping her! :) he loves it when she "kisses" him like in the picture below. really, she's eating him, but do the details really matter? :)

kenna will search the room for greyson if she hears his voice.  she seems to enjoy having him around even when he's pestering her (really, it starts this early!).  whenever i get the camera out to take a picture of kenna by herself, greyson wants to be in the picture.  he's so proud of his sister! he loves to hold her, but gets tired quickly because she squirms so much.  he usually will get me things for her as soon as i ask him to. 

i have a feeling he's going to be teaching her many naughty  things as she gets older and probably even be sick of her at some point.  but for now i'm grateful that he is still head over heels for his sister!
