Monkey is really growing to not only accept, but love his baby sister. He includes her whenever he talks about things as a family. When making cakes with Daddy recently he said “One a Mummy, One a Daddy, One a me, One a LM (he uses his actual name for her, not LM but just to avoid confusion).
He has gone from not wanting to look at her or have anything to do with her, to looking at her, and now to actively trying to engage with her. He gives her little cuddles and kisses. He holds her hand. He strokes her head and her arms. In the morning if she is asleep upstairs he asks where she is and wants to wake her up. He pretended to be Dr to her and gave her some “medicine” probably because he sees we are always giving her medicine (infacol, gaviscon, colic calm).
In response to all of this love and attention she rewarded Monkey with her first ever smile, and a good few since. She loves to watch him and her eyes follow him around the room. At 6-7 weeks old that is about as much as you can ask for.
And here is one of LM’s first smiles, which although I caught it, was very much aimed at her lovely big brother.
Ahhh absolutely adorable siblings post. I love it. They are so adorable together. Love it. #siblings

What a beautiful post. I love the way Monkey is giving Little Miss a kiss in the first photo and the way they are looking at each other in one of the others. And how lovely that her smiles are aimed at her big brother. Adorable 🙂
So lovely to see your gorgeous littles join in with the #siblings project!xx
Lovely seeing them interacting with each other. The bonding has begun! #siblings
Ah, they look adorable together! Oh yes, the smiles and love from Little Man were always for Boo first and foremost, I’m used to it! So sweet x
This takes me right back to when Ozzy was a baby and used to sit in the bouncy chair grinning at Kitty. A Magical time for you all x

Heart melt. How adorable. The bond of siblings! I’m very close to my brother. The girls are really close too. This is such a lovely post. Gorgeous pictures. Wonderful mummy! Xxx
Aww the first smiles are so precious – it’s lovely to see the very start of such a special sibling relationship 🙂
Love all the photos, so adorable! Clearly, they already have a bond, which I’m sure will even grow stronger as they grow up 🙂 #loudnproud
Ahh, how lovely, sounds like he’s doing great at being a big brother. It’s such an adjustment for everyone! I just wrote about my two; I can find the juggling hard sometimes but I love watching their bond growing 🙂 #mmwbh

Aw that’s so lovely, what a heart-warming post. Hope they have a lovely first Christmas together x
How lovely, they really do look alike. What a lovely relationship developing on both sides. It is so nice that he is including her. Little E’s first smiles were always for Ethan and at the moment she only giggles for him!
