Everyone asks how John Henry is adjusting to Schuler. Since the day Schuler was born I've given the same answer. John Henry LOVES his brother. I mean loves him so much that he wants to constantly kiss him, pat him, hug him, burp him, feed him, and just be close to him. I knew John Henry was an affectionate child but I didn't realize how affectionate he would be with his brother. I know that one day this might change, they might beat each other over the head with their baseball bats or golf clubs - but until that time, I'm relishing every moment of brotherly love I see. Nothing makes me happier.
I'm so happy we were able to capture the first moment John Henry met and got to meet (and touch) Schuler.
And after that moment, if Schuler's around, John Henry wants to be as close as possible. Close enough to touch at all times.
John Henry's favorite place to kiss Schuler is the top of his head.
For the first month we tried to hold him back for fear he would smother the poor child.
But you can't hold John Henry back. If he wants to give Schuler a kiss, he's going to give him a kiss.
Even if we have visitors.
And even if Daddy is holding him.
At the one and half month mark we started letting him hold Schuler, which meant even more kisses.
Winter kisses and hugs.
Even Schuler's big feet need some love.
More kisses.
And more...
And a Christmas hug!
Do you notice that Schuler sometimes looks scared?
He just can't escape his brother's love.
No matter what!
I think Schuler's so used to it now, he likes it. We'll see how long it lasts!
