More Evan and Emma

Evan has been such a great big brother to Emma so far! It's been a very pleasant surprise because we weren't sure how he'd react to his new baby sister. He doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to her most of the time, but whenever she whines or cries he comes right over to give her a gentle pat on the head and a kiss.

Then, the other morning, I was holding Emma and Evan said "My baby!" and held his hands out. I asked him if he wanted to hold Emma and he said yes, so he hopped up on the couch and put his arms out to hold her. He did such a good job and was very proud of himself. Unfortunately, since I was helping hold Emma and the camera was nowhere in sight, I wasn't able to get a picture of that moment. But since then, he's asked to hold her a few more times, so I finally got a couple of pictures of Evan and his little sister!
