The Life and Times of the Brothers Mac

Hang on Tight

Gabe is always trying to be helpful with Gavin. He really loves his baby brother and demonstrates it through his willingness to be helpful to us and the baby.

Gavin likes his bouncy seat and Gabe likes to bounce him in it. Gabe also will retrieve a bottle or pacifier for Gavin if he's crying. He runs to the bassinet to check on him and peers over the side to see what is the matter with the baby.

The latest thing I have to be careful of is Gabe attempting to lift Gavin off the floor, by his shirt no less, and he's surprisingly strong enough to do it. And he wants to "hold" the baby in his lap. I never really thought he'd express such interest and they are really cute when they're posed with Gavin sitting in his big brother's lap (as you can see).

Gabe is so proud and Gavin is surely trying to get away!
