She only has eyes for her brother

by Ellie on August 17, 2009

My beautiful Little E is 12 weeks and 3 days old.

She has deep blue eyes which I’m sure will turn green and her hair has a hint of red, just like her mummy.

She wakes each morning, not with a cry, but happily cooing and gurgling. When I lean over the cot she smiles the most beautiful toothless grin and her eyes light up with utter glee.

I am not her fascination though. That honour belongs to Big E.

She watches him with those beautiful eyes. Her gaze follows him wherever he goes. Her eyes widen and she bestows one of those special toothless smiles on him and adds a little trill of a giggle.

She is mesmerised by her big brother. Her wide eyes taking in his every move. She is learning how to be a carefree child.

Big E kisses her forehead and says, “Awww, I love my sister. She’s so tiny!”

In my heart I hope they will always be so special to each other.

Oh how lovely! I hope so too…

I love reading about young siblings and the special kind of relationship they have. Always makes me want to have another baby immediately!

Little E is adorable. And I think it's very clever how you have her in an outfit that matches your blog ;-)

That is lovely. My two love each other dearly but bicker till their hearts are content!

Last week they were out with friends whilst I worked and it was lovely to hear reports that they had really looked after one another whilst out and about. They just fight when they get home …

Oh, what a little darlin'. I hope your two get on better than mine – nothing but bickering and the purchasing of efficient earplugs over at mine!

Lovely piccy

Aww that's so lovely… I remember how long could Victor watch his brother playing from his bouncy chair… it does melt your heart doesn't it?

Lovely picture! It's really nice they're like that with each other, so sweet. My two are er, 'competitive' – probably because they're both boys. They do have occasional moments of brotherly love and, like you, I really hope they'll be special to each other in the future.

That's so sweet, i hope they stay like that. My girls have a love/hate relationship going on, one minute they're best friends the next they're tearing each other's hair out and stealing toys of one another – oh the joys.

Thanks for the comments ladies :)

It's not all plain sailing, we are having toddler/new baby jealousy issues too. It's just so sweet that she adores him, ans he her….some of the time.

I fully expect lots of fights but lots of love too…..soppy moo me!
