Big Helper

Sweet big brother, Nathan, is such a compassionate kid. He loves to help soothe his baby sister when she's upset. He'll do whatever is needed to find her pacifier and help gently put it in the baby's mouth - even if it means stopping what he's doing and putting his toys down to go run and help the moment he hears his baby sister cry.

Watching Nathan now, reminds me of when he was 16 months old and "helping" newborn Faith find her pacifier. He wasn't very coordinated then... usually he'd stick the pacifier in Faith's forehead... hehe  Today, he's still the same gentle little boy who loves to help and wants everyone to feel loved. And he still loves giving kisses and hugs to his sisters :)

And as much as I don't like the name "Baby Ruth" (that's a whole other story), it is super sweet to see Nathan curl up next to his sister, when she's laying on the floor... or bend over to see her when she's in the car seat... and say, "Hi, baby Rufth". Nathan sure is a sweetheart!!
