philadelphia

mason has been with us for six weeks now, and i'm really surprised how well vaughn has reacted to him. the other day the boys were in my bed, and i made mason a bottle and put it on the bed. then vaughn wanted milk, too, so i went to get that. i heard mason start to cry, and then stop. i ran in expecting a pillow over his face. vaughn had put the bottle in mason's mouth, and told me, 'vaughn help mason, not crying.' vaughn makes sure i know when mason is crying, saying, 'poor mason, not happy.' or 'mason need pas-ire.' he's even figured out how to climb into mason's crib and put the pacifier in mason's mouth, or put more blankets on when, 'put covers on mason.' (that one really scared me!) but vaughn also says, 'aw, mason cute,' and 'i wuv mason.' so i don't think he was trying to smother his brother.

Great picture! Vaughn is such a dedicated big brother; he really does love his sibling! Soon, Mason will appreciate his efforts - or maybe not...

Wow, Mason and Vaughn really look alike in that picture.

Simply adorable! Reminds me of a couple other boys...several years ago!When his father's brother jumped in the baby bed with him while I was in the other room. It scared me to death, but when I came in Josh was looking up at his big brother smiling great big and was no longer crying. It is great that Mason has a big brother like Vaughn. Vaughn is truly a sweetheart! So is Mason! Grandchildren are such a joy!! Thanks for sharing. :-)
