I always love seeing how much Jacob loves babies. It is interesting to me how much he really likes them.
One day he noticed a figurine we have that has a dad and a mom holding a little baby. From then on, every morning Jacob would ask to hold it, and give it a hug and a kiss.
Shortly after that one of his friends became a big brother and so Jacob would talk about this friend but then also include his baby sister in the conversation. He loves tickling babies toes and mimicking their cries. He will say, "baby cry, waaa". It is pretty funny. He loves holding his friend's baby sister and getting toys for her to play with as well. Also, and during a time when I was having a hard time getting Jacob in his stroller, I was out with my friend and once he heard he could hold the baby when he got in in stroller, he couldn't get into it fast enough.
Sharing toys
I love how happy he is to be holding her.
I have loved watching him when he looks at and holds the baby Jesus in our nativity sets at home. When we brought out the Christmas decorations for the first time and he saw the baby Jesus figurine he immediately started carrying it around. I love this picture I snapped of him getting ready to read him a story.
Another time after we watched a little video about the Christmas, we went to look at the baby Jesus in our nativity and he had Mary hold the baby Jesus for awhile.
He also prefers the horse and camel on top of the nativity roof rather than the angel. :)
Jacob is such a fun, kind, and sweet little boy and I think our future children will feel lucky to have him as their brother.
