David and I so blessed to have such a sweet big brother for Parker. Hayden has stepped up and gone above and beyond to take care of his new baby sister. Yes, there have been times where he has complained that maybe she cries too much, but all in all, he just adores her. He's always asking if he can hold her so I can take their picture. (Which makes me super happy b/c I love taking pictures anyways, and I can't think of two cuter subjects!)
He sings twinkle twinkle little star and abc's to her, he talks very quietly to her to calm her down when she's upset, and he's always offering to do anything to help me out with her (getting a diaper, getting her pacifier, helping me feed her, etc). Funny story - the other day, a friend of mine was holding Parker and made the comment that "she's so sweet, I just wanna take her home with me!" Hayden got very concerned and looked up at me and said, "Mama, Parker's going home with us!" haha
I was always worried about how Hayden would handle having to share the spotlight. I mean, afterall, he was an only child (and only grandchild!) for almost 3 years. But, he's handled it extremely well and we couldn't be prouder of him. He's a super big brother.
Here's some cute pictures of Hayden and his little sister Parker.
