One week old!

Our new little grand nephew, Gavin Bryce, turns one week old today!  It is a JOY to have a new little one in the family, an opinion shared by all except, perhaps, Gavin's two and a half year old brother, Miles Cooper.  I think Miles likes Gavin, generally; he remarks often that, "He is cute!" and he gently pats his little brother's tiny head.  Or he gives him a little kiss on his hand.  This is all extremely darling to see and hear.  But their mommy tells us that when she told Miles it was time to go yesterday and began to gather up the new baby's things and get the baby, Miles attempted to swiftly "help" her directly out the door - without the baby.  It is entirely understandable that a first born child, accustomed to all the attention and affection, would have a little trouble getting used to sharing mommy and daddy, and everyone, for that matter!  I have no doubt that these two special little fellows will be best buddies very soon.  Best buddies for life! Come spring, there will be another new little one added to the mix!  Our grandbaby - "Baby Bird" will enter the scene and we are sure excited about this big event!  I wonder how little Miles will feel about this!
